This discovery occasioned her an emotion of doubtful joy; for it was matter of joy and comfort to know, that a person, of a mind so gentle, as that of Signora Livona seemed to be, was near her; yet there was something so extraordinary in her being at this castle, circumstanced as it now was, and evidently, by the gaiety of her air, with her own consent, that a very painful surmise arose, concerning her character.

She now directs a company of her own, and has been succeeded in her former position by the estimable Signora Piamonti, whom Salvini declares to be one of the most versatile artistes he has ever known, equally good in the highest tragedy or the liveliest farce.

Let us fly, signora." "Which way did he go?" "Straight down through the wood beneath us." "Did he recognize me, Assunta? Did he seem to know me? I dared not look a second time." Assunta partially followed the question. "No. He did not look either. He stared out over the lake and his face was like a lost soul's face. Then you cried out and still he did not look but disappeared. He was not angry."

Only only you looked at me as if something were the matter. Do I look ill?" She asked the question with a forced lightness, with a smile. He answered, bluntly: "Si, Signora. You look very ill." She put up her hand to her face instinctively, as if to feel whether his words were true. "But I'm perfectly well," she said. "You look very ill, Signora," he returned. "I'm a little bit tired, perhaps."

"It is not for me to want, Signora." "I don't think the Signorina would like to go, Gaspare. She hates the idea of leaving the island." "The Signorina is not every one," he returned. Habitually blunt as Gaspare was, Hermione had never before heard him speak of Vere like this, not with the least impertinence, but with a certain roughness. To-day it did not hurt her.

Maurice looked up from the letter and met Gaspare's questioning eyes. "There's something for you," he said. And he read in Italian Hermione's message. Gaspare beamed with pride and pleasure. "And the sick signore?" he asked. "Is he better?" Maurice explained how things were. "The signora is longing to come back to us," he said. "Of course she is," said Gaspare, calmly. Then suddenly he jumped up.

Many boys of the upper primary, with their mothers, all holding candles, and five or six teachers and several neighbors were already collected in the courtyard. The mistress with the red feather and Signora Delcati had gone inside, and through an open window we beheld them weeping. We could hear the mother of the child sobbing loudly.

She rose too, pale as death, and said, "Ere thou leavest me so, know thy fate; outside that door are armed men who wait to slay thee at a word from me." "But you will not speak that word, signora." "That word I will speak.

We know too what storms of passion even celestial minds can yield. As Juno may have looked at Paris on Mount Ida, so did Mrs Proudie look on Ethelbert Stanhope when he pushed the leg of the sofa into her train. 'Oh, you idiot, Bertie! said the signora, seeing what had been done, and what were the consequences.

Nothing now stood in the way of the execution of this terrible deed, which was fixed for the 8th of September, the day of the Nativity of the Virgin; but Signora Lucrezia, a very devout person, having noticed this circumstance, would not be a party to the committal of a double sin; the matter was therefore deferred till the next day, the 9th.
