〃I　can　make　you　some　toast。〃

〃All　right。〃

〃I　want　some　eggs　fried　too。〃

〃How　many　eggs　for　the　gentleman？〃

〃Three。〃

〃Take　four；　darling。〃

〃Four　eggs。〃

The　woman　went　away。　I　kissed　Catherine　and　held　her　hand　very　tight。　We　looked　at　each　other　and　at　the　caf？

〃Darling；　darling；　isn't　it　lovely？〃

〃It's　grand；〃　I　said。

〃I　don't　mind　there　not　being　rolls；〃　Catherine　said。　〃I　thought　about　them　all　night。　But　I　don't　mind　it。　I　don't　mind　it　at　all。〃

〃I　suppose　pretty　soon　they　will　arrest　us。〃

〃Never　mind；　darling。　We'll　have　breakfast　first。　You　won't　mind　being　arrested　after　breakfast。　And　then　there's　nothing　they　can　do　to　us。　We're　British　and　American　citizens　in　good　standing。〃

〃You　have　a　passport；　haven't　you？〃

〃Of　course。　Oh　let's　not　talk　about　it。　Let's　be　happy。〃

〃I　couldn't　be　any　happiei〃　I　said。　A　fat　gray　cat　with　a　tail　that　lifted　like　a　plume　crossed　the　floor　to　our　table　and　curved　against　my　leg　to　purr　each　time　she　rubbed。　I　reached　down　and　stroked　her。　Catherine　smiled　at　me　very　happily。　〃Here　es　the　coffee；〃　she　said。

They　arrested　us　after　breakfast。　We　took　a　little　walk　through　the　village　then　went　down　to　the　quay　to　get　our　bags。　A　soldier　was　standing　guard　over　the　boat。

〃Is　this　your　boat？〃

〃Yes。〃

〃Where　do　you　e　from？〃

〃Up　the　lake。〃

〃Then　I　have　to　ask　you　to　e　with　me。〃

〃How　about　the　bags？〃

〃You　can　carry　the　bags。〃

I　carried　the　bags　and　Catherine　walked　beside　me　and　the　soldier　walked　along　behind　us　to　the　old　custom　house。　In　the　custom　house　a　lieutenant；　very　thin　and　military；　questioned　us。

〃What　nationality　are　you？〃

〃American　and　Briti
