A Mr. Costell."
"Oh, yes I do. I've heard all about him."
"What do you know of Mr. Costell?"
"What Miss De Voe told me."
"Miss De Voe?"
"Yes. We saw her both times in Europe. Once at Nice, and once in--in
1882--at Maggiore. The first time, I was only six, but she used to tell
me stories about you and the little children in the angle. The last time
she told me all she could remember about you. We used to drift about the
lake moonlight nights, and talk about you."
"What made that worth doing to you?"
"Oh from the very beginning, that I can remember, papa was always
talking about 'dear old Peter'"--the talker said the last three words
in such a tone, shot such a look up at Peter, half laughing and half
timid, that in combination they nearly made Peter reel in his
saddle--"and you seemed almost the only one of his friends he did speak
of, so I became very curious about you as a little girl, and then Miss
De Voe made me more interested, so that I began questioning Americans,
because I was really anxious to learn things concerning you.
