Olive, thinking that perhaps they might have gone up to the fountain of Neptune, began to climb the hill. She asked an old man who was coming down from there if he had seen two young ladies, one dressed in red. "No, signorina." She hurried back to the arena and spoke to a woman there. "Have you seen a young lady in red with black curls?" She answered readily: "Sicuro!
Che cuore deve avere! says she: What a heart he must have! Io non mene fido sicuro: I shall take care not to trust him sure.
"God is merely man's idea of himself at his best, and the devil is his idea of other people at their worst," he concluded. "Would you spend a night alone in this haunted house?" "Sicuro!" "Perhaps you will have to if your master takes the place. He has gone to look at it." Vincenzo gulped down the last of his coffee.
Sicuro!" Olive looked up at the window where the Menotti should have been, and saw strange faces there. They had not come then. They had not, and Astorre could not. Astorre was very ill ... the times were out of joint. Her cousin's shame and sorrow and her friend's pain seemed to come near again, and to be once more a part of her life, and she saw "gold tarnished, and the grey above the green."
Shylock's astonishment at getting four times what he would have taken was equalled only by his regret that he had not asked twice as much. "Can you pack it so that I can take it to New York safely?" "Sicuro, signor," and Shylock agreed to have the precious object boxed with all possible care and despatch, and delivered at the hotel that afternoon.
"Sgridi ancora una volta," says I, in the purest lingua Toscana, "e la lascero qui to get out of this mess as best you can cosi sicuro che il mio nome e Jenkinsono!" To my great relief she began to laugh. Immediately afterward, however, she sat down on the shingle and began to cry. It was too vexatious: what on earth was I to do? "Do you understand English?" I asked, despairingly.
"Ah, that was a sorrow!" said the Countess. "There's not a day that I don't weep for her. But che vuole? She's a saint its paradise." "Sicuro," I answered; and I looked some time at the ground. "But tell me about yourself, dear lady," I asked at last, raising my eyes. "You have also had the sorrow of losing your husband." "I am a poor widow, as you see. Che vuole?
I rang the small silver bell on the long table, and the mute steward appeared. Was this the steamer for Venice? Sicuro! All that I could do in comment was to sit down; and in the mean time the steamer trembled, groaned, choked, cleared its throat, and we were under way. "The other passengers have all gone to bed, I suppose," I argued acutely, seeing none of them.
'Per la lingua Italiana, sono sicuro ch'ella n'e adesso professore, a segno tale ch'io non ardisca dirle altra cosa in quela lingua se non. Addio'. LONDON, April 26, O. S. 1756. MY DEAR FRIEND: As your journey to Paris approaches, and as that period will, one way or another, be of infinite consequence to you, my letters will henceforward be principally calculated for that meridian.
A light shone in one of the upper windows; the great man was there and he came down the creaking wooden stairs himself to open the door. "Who is it? Rosina? I have put away the Anthony canvas for a month and I will let you know when I want you again." "But, signorino, I have brought you a type." "What!" he said eagerly, in his execrable Italian. "Fresh, sweet, clean?" "Sicuro."
