Return to Venezia Part 10
....Next Morning......
Deep in thought Elena doesnt notice Mercury entering the Salotto, in the hope of sharing late morning coffee with her.
On becoming aware of his presence she smiles sweetly and asks him about his late night Gambling adventures. He seems to be doing well, and is wearing a new smart suit of clothing, and is looking quite the Venetian dandy. He also looks pale and tired.
As they sit and drink their coffee, Elena explains that she wishes to visit her dear school friend, Lugrezia Contarini at the Convent of Santa Caterina di Mazzorbo, and wonders if he would mind escorting her, as she is nervous of going out on her own, andbelievesshe is being watched.
She can see that he had other plans, but knows that as a gentleman, staying in her house, he has no real choice but to agree, which of course he does, while she smiles sweetly......
