I thanked Don Emilio very kindly, but was, of course, too young then to entertain any thought of marrying. I was really sorry to disappoint him, as he seemed to have formed a genuine attachment for me and was seriously grieved by my refusal. Rumor spreads its vagaries faster among illiterate people than among the enlightened and educated.

Instead, therefore, of agreeing with Vere, she said, in rather an off-hand way: "It's all right, Ruffo. Thank you very much. But we must not keep Don Emilio listening to my supposed good deeds forever. So that's enough." Vere reddened. Evidently she felt snubbed.

As Emilio had not taken her hand, the Duchess pushed her fingers through his hair that the singer had kissed. Then she perceived that Emilio's hand was clammy and his brow moist. "What ails you?" she asked, in a voice to which tenderness gave the sweetness of a flute. "Never till this moment have I known how much I love you," he replied. "Well, dear idol, what would you have?" said she.

Emilio Aguinaldo, of the result thereof and of the number of the force with their arms and ammunition, in order to ascertain whether they would be sufficient to prevent the invasion of the enemy and whether there is any necessity of sending reinforcements of arms to said Islands for this purpose.

"The Signorina is on the terrace, Signora with Don Emilio." He looked up at her very seriously in the gloom. She thought of the meeting at the Festa, and longed to wring from Gaspare his secret. "Don Emilio is here?" "Si, Signora." "How long ago did he come?" "About half an hour, I think, Signora." "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I am positive you none of you can." "It does not matter whether it is a man or a woman. We must do something with our hands. We have got to.

The boy was already in it, and they saw him strike a match and light one of the cigarettes. Then he lay back at his ease, smoking, and staring up at the moon. "A girl of sixteen is not a child, and I am sure the Signorina is sixteen. But that is not all. Emilio, you do not know the Signorina." Artois repressed a smile. The Marchesino was perfectly in earnest. "And you do you know the Signorina?"

You were absent how long you were absent! If you could know the heaviness of those days of his waiting for you. And it was I who kept him here! I must have omitted a prayer, for he would have been at Vercelli now with Luciano and Emilio, and you might have gone to him; but he met this woman, who has convinced him that Piedmont will make a Winter march, and that his marriage must be delayed."

Emilio was sitting on the same sofa, on which he had been rubbed; the doctor had prescribed him medicine and recommended 'great discretion in avoiding strong emotions' as being a subject of nervous temperament with a tendency to weakness of the heart.

But no; unless she chose they would both be shot. At last she chose Diego. Afterwards she went mad, and was constantly heard wailing: 'I have killed my grandson Emilio.
