His scowl grew so black that I saw he believed me, and I went on more cheerily: "This was manufactured by Johannes Bogaerts I can give you his address, and you can make inquiries yourself by special permission of the then owner, the late Leone Montanaro." I couldn't give it up. It fascinated me. I toyed with it, I caressed it. I made it display its different tones of color.
"It is a terrible position." "It is. My co-trustee died lately. I have never dared to have another appointed. I am bound to hand over the sapphire to my daughter on her marriage, if her husband consents to take the name of Montanaro." The bishop's face was ghastly pale, and the moisture started on his brow. I racked my brain for some word of comfort. "Miss Panton may never marry."
The dear bishop gone!" screamed Lady Carwitchet from the central ottoman where she sat, surrounded by most of the gentlemen, all apparently well entertained by her conversation. "And I wanted to talk over old times with him so badly. His poor wife was my greatest friend. Mira Montanaro, daughter of the great banker, you know.

She was furious because her husband refused to let her wear the great Valdez sapphire. It had been in the Montanaro family for some generations, and her father settled it first on her and then on her little girl the bishop being trustee. He felt obliged to take away the little girl, and send her off to be brought up by some old aunts in the country, and he locked up the sapphire.
I went to him, and he told me at once that he had been allowed by Montanaro to copy the Valdez setting and all for the Paris Exhibition. I showed him this, and he claimed it for his own work at once, and pointed out his private mark upon it. You must take your magnifier to find it; a Greek Beta. He also told me that he had sold it to Lady Carwitchet more than a year ago."
"We'll be glad to go with you," said Mr. Wilkie. Mary and her friends first visited Itu, where they met Colonel Montanaro, who had first taken Mary to Itu. Then they went to Akani Obio. Here Chief Onoyom had a big party for them. "Ma, when are you going to come and stay a long time with us?" he asked. "I want you to bring the Gospel to me and to my people." "I hope it will be soon," said Mary.

The next week when she again made the trip to board the boat, Colonel Montanaro who commanded the government soldiers in that part of the country, was on the boat. "I will be happy to have you travel with me and my soldiers," said the colonel. "You will be safer that way. I am going to Arochuku." "That is just what I would like to do," said Mary. "Now I see why God did not let me travel last week.
When she reached the Mission House tired and weary, she assured Miss Wright that all was well God had not meant her to travel that day, and she must have been kept back for some purpose. Next week she set out again, and when she joined the launch at Ikunetu, Colonel Montanaro, the Commander of the Forces, was on board on his way up to Arochuku.
