mans island。 The sun was under a cloud and the water was dark and smooth and very cold。 We did not have a strike though we saw some circles on the water from rising fish。

I rowed up opposite the fishermans island where there were boats drawn up and men were mending nets。

〃Should we get a drink?〃

〃All right。〃

I brought the boat up to the stone pier and the barman pulled in the line; coiling it on the bottom of the boat and hooking the spinner on the edge of the gunwale。 I stepped out and tied the boat。 We went into a little caf? sat at a bare wooden table and ordered vermouth。

〃Are you tired from rowing?〃

〃Ill row back;〃 he said。

〃I like to row。〃

〃Maybe if you hold the line it will change the luck。〃

〃All right。〃

〃Tell me how goes the war。〃

〃Rotten。〃

〃I dont have to go。 Im too old; like Count Greffi。〃

〃Maybe youll have to go yet。〃

〃Next year theyll call my class。 But I wont go。〃

〃What will you do?〃

〃Get out of the country。 I wouldnt go to war。 I was at the war once in Abyssinia。 Nix。 Why do you go?〃

〃I dont know。 I was a fool。〃

〃Have another vermouth?〃

〃All right。〃

The barman rowed back。 We trolled up the lake beyond Stresa and then down not far from shore。 I held the taut line and felt the faint pulsing of the spinner revolving while I looked at the dark November water of the lake and the deserted shore。 The barman rowed with long strokes and on the forward thrust of the boat the line throbbed。 Once I had a strike: the line hardened suddenly and jerked back。 I pulled and felt the live weight of the trout and then the line throbbed again。 I had missed him。

〃Did he feel big?〃

〃Pretty big。〃

〃Once when I was out trolling alone I had the line in my teeth and one struck and nearly took my mouth out。〃

〃The best way is to have it over your leg;〃 I said。 〃Then you feel it and dont lose your teeth。〃

I put my hand in the water。 It was very cold。 We were almost opposite the hotel now。

〃I have to go in;〃 the barman said; 〃to be there for eleven oclock。 Lheure du cocktail。〃

〃All right。〃

I pulled in the line and wrapped it on a stick notched at each end。 The barman put the boat in a little slip in the stone wall and locked it with a chain and padlock。

〃Any time you want it;〃 he said; 〃Ill give you the key。〃

〃Thanks。〃

We went up to the hotel and into the bar。 I did not want another drink so early in the morning so I went up to our room。 The maid had just finished doing the room and Catherine was not back yet。 I lay down on the bed and tried to keep from thinking。

When Catherine came back it was all right again。 Ferguson was downstairs; she said。 She was ing to lunch。

〃I knew you wouldnt mind;〃 Catherine said。

〃No;〃 I said。

〃Whats the matter; darling?〃

〃I dont know。〃

〃I know。 You havent anything to do。 All you have is me and I go away。〃

〃Thats true。〃
