As she met the penetrating glance she knew of old, now softened by the fascination of his winning smile, she came again under the old personal charm. "I cannot be friends with a man whom I do not respect," she stammered. "But you shall respect me," with dogged determination, "and then...."
"Rise up, and remember that you are a man," said Don Silverio; and the youth, gazing upwards keenly into his face, suddenly lost all hope, seeing no ray of hope on that weary countenance. "You cannot save us?" he cried, with a scream like a wounded hare's. "I cannot, my dear son," answered Don Silverio.
In the silence that followed, there came again to them, clear through the stillness, and haunting in its persistence, the crying of the beast that sought its meat from God.
