When Molly woke with a start, it was almost dawn. Her son was sleeping with his head against the gondolier’s striped shirt. The gondolier smoked and stared at nothing. Molly wondered for a moment if it was the same cigar.

“You must think we’re pathetic,” she said.

The gondolier thought for a moment and then said:

“Would you permit me to perform one favor for you and your son?”

“I don’t know,” Molly said. “My fiancé may not be in a good mood when he comes out.”

“Okay,” the gondolier conceded. “It doesn’t matter—I just thought you might like it.”

Two small eyes between them bolted open.

“Might like what?” inquired a little voice.

“Might like to be honored guests on my gondola—through the canals of Venice.”

The boy climbed up on his mother’s lap.

“We have to do this,” he said soberly.

Molly turned to the gondolier.

“I don’t know why you’re doing this for us—but if you were going to kill us, you probably would have done it by now.”

Her son glared angrily at her.

“He’s not going to kill us.”
