〃Its a lovely night for a walk;〃 Catherine said。

〃Its a bad night all right。〃

〃Im glad Ive an umbrella;〃 Catherine said。

We walked down the hall and down the wide thickly carpeted stairs。 At the foot of the stairs by the door the porter sat behind his desk。

He looked surprised at seeing us。

〃Youre not going out; sir?〃 he said。

〃Yes;〃 I said。 〃Were going to see the storm along the lake。〃

〃Havent you got an umbrella; sir?〃

〃No;〃 I said。 〃This coat sheds water。〃

He looked at it doubtfully。 〃Ill get you an umbrella; sir;〃 he said。 He went away and came back with a big umbrella。 〃It is a little big; sir;〃 he said。 I gave him a ten…lira note。 〃Oh you are too good; sir。 Thank you very much;〃 he said。 He held the door open and we went out into the rain。 He smiled at Catherine and she smiled at him。 〃Dont stay out in the storm;〃 he said。 〃You will get wet; sir and lady。〃 He was only the second porter; and his English was still literally translated。

〃Well be back;〃 I said。 We walked down the path under the giant umbrella and out through the dark wet gardens to the road and across the road to the trellised pathway along the lake。 The wind was blowing offshore now。 It was a cold; wet November wind and I knew it was snowing in the mountains。 We came along past the chained boats in the slips along the quay to where the barmans boat should be。 The water was dark against the stone。 The barman stepped out from beside the row of trees。

〃The bags are in the boat;〃 he said。

〃I want to pay you for the boat;〃 I said。

〃How much money have you?〃

〃Not so much。〃

〃You send me the money later。 That will be all right。〃

〃How much?〃

〃What you want。〃

〃Tell me how much。〃

〃If you get through send me five hundred francs。 You wont mind that if you get through。〃

〃All right。〃

〃Here are sandwiches。〃 He handed me a package。 〃Everything there was in the bar。 Its all here。 This is a bottle of brandy and a bottle of wine。〃 I put them in my bag。 〃Let me pay you for those。〃

〃All right; give me fifty lire。〃

I gave itto him。 〃The brandy is good;〃 he said。 〃You dont need to be afraid to give itto your lady。 She better get in the boat。〃 He held the boat; it rising and falling against the stone wall and I helped Catherine in。 She sat in the stern and pulled her cape around her。

〃You know where to go?〃

〃Up the lake。〃

〃You know how far?〃

〃Past Luino。〃

〃Past Luino; Cannero; Cannobio; Tranzano。 You arent in Switzerland until you e to Brissago。 You have to pass Monte Tamara。〃

〃What time is it?〃 Catherine asked。

〃Its only eleven oclock;〃 I said。

〃If you row all the time you ought to be there by seven oclock in the morning。〃

〃Is it that far?〃

〃Its thirty…five kilometres。〃

〃How should we go? In this rain we need a pass。〃

〃No。 Row to Isola Bella。 Then on the other side of Isola Madre go with the wind。 The wind will take you to Pallanza。 You will see the lights。 Then go up the shore。〃

〃Maybe the wind will change。〃
