And the Segretario Reale went out from the presence, his soul revolting at the absolutism that forced him to accept; and he despised himself.
"Then, Messer Segretario," said the young sculptor, "it seems to me Fra Francesco is the greater hero, for he offers to enter the fire for the truth, though he is sure the fire will burn him." "I do not deny it," said Tito, blandly. "But if it turns out that Fra Francesco is mistaken, he will have been burned for the wrong side, and the Church has never reckoned such victims to be martyrs.
"Of course I am among the admirers of the inspired orator," he said, smilingly; "but, unfortunately, I shall be occupied with the Segretario till the time of the procession." "I am going into the Duomo to look at that savage old man again," said Piero. "Then have the charity to show him to one of the hospitals for travellers, Piero mio," said Tornabuoni.
