Thus spoke my mentor and did not wholly remove my doubts. But I must now go back to the earlier date, when this strange family were newly come to our neighbourhood. All of the family appeared proud of their strangeness and of the reputation of their fighting brother, their protector and chief.
Over and over again, since they met the boys, had they regretted that they had not gone back to watch over them; but the fact that Rose might be weeks before she was able to stand, and that, as their protector had said, the presence of Europeans near them might be detected, and would be a source of constant danger, convinced them that they had taken the proper course.
I look upon myself as the protector of the Holy See, and by this title I have occupied Ancona.
