She sat beside me on the bench, obscured, yet the warm night quivered with her presence. I felt her tremble.... I remember the first exquisite touch of her soft cheek.

"Never fear, Nicolas Nerli," answered the Archangel; "I will forget nothing." And with his own heavenly hands he set in the lighter scale the Duomo of Santa Maria Novella and the Hospital with its frieze all carved and painted. But the scale did not drop an inch. At this the Banker was sorely disquieted. "Good St. Michael! think again.
