By accident I learned, or, rather, guessed this this strange insult to which you are so unworthily exposed. I am here. Think of me but as a friend, the truest friend. Oh, Beatrice," and he bent his head over the hand he held, " I never dared say so before, it seems presuming to say it now, but I cannot help it.
For my part, I wonder Lady Cheverel has not noticed her short answers and the airs she puts on. 'Let me beg of you, Beatrice, not to hint anything of the kind to Lady Cheverel. You must have observed how strict my aunt is. It never enters her head that a girl can be in love with a man who has not made her an offer. 'Well, I shall let Miss Sarti know myself that I have observed her conduct.
After an hour, the door closed, and the seductive vision vanished, leaving Beatrice full of trouble and amazement. The night following, the same apparition again presented itself, only, on this occasion, Francesco Cenci, undressed, entered his daughter's room and invited her to join the fete.
This time he would prove his own merit, he would not take Constantine into his confidence. Unknown to any one save Mary, Steve selected a new-style talking machine to promote. He knew as much about talking machines as Beatrice knew about cooking a square meal.
So Beatrice, who could never love Ruggiero, understood him well and judged him rightly, and set him up on a sort of pedestal as the anti-type of his scheming master. And not only this. She felt deeply for him and pitied him with all her heart, since she had seen his own almost breaking before her eyes for her sake.
Then Ruggiero turned away and went up the sloping rocks again, and Beatrice stood still for a moment, watching his tall, retreating figure. She meant to go, too, but she lingered a while, knowing that if ever she came back to Tragara, this would be the spot where she would pause and recall a memory, and not that other, where she had sat while San Miniato played out his wretched little comedy.
She was a good woman this, though so poor and wretched, and she could not help her little girl's being left alone, and she always tried to bring home something for her to cheer her up. 'Look, Beatrice Annie! she cried, as she opened the door. 'What hever do ye think I've brought for yer? And she held up a bunch of red radishes for a treat.
And I " She stopped and shut her teeth hard together; she felt sure she should cry in another minute if this went on. "I believe you do love me, Beatrice, and your rebellious young American nature dreads surrender." He tried to look into her eyes and smile, but she kept her eyes looking straight ahead.
His Julia is the least mortal of these "daughters of dreams and of stories," whom poets celebrate; she has a certain opulence of flesh and blood, a cheek like a damask rose, and "rich eyes," like Keats's lady; no vaporous Beatrice, she; but a handsome English wench, with "A cuff neglectful and thereby Ribbons to flow confusedly; A winning wave, deserving note In the tempestuous petticoat."
They've seen the light got our range! They're up there in the tree-tops shooting at us!" With one puff, the light was gone. By the wrist he seized Beatrice. He dragged her toward the front wall, off to one side, out of range. "The flasks of Pulverite! Suppose a dart should hit one?" exclaimed the girl. "That's so! Wait here I'll get them!"
