'Scusi, signore, I no understand. 'Just sit down, Gustavo, it makes me nervous to see you standing all the time. I can't be comfortable, you know, unless everybody else is comfortable. Now pay strict attention and see if you can grasp my meaning. Gustavo dubiously accepted the edge of the indicated chair; he wished to humour the signore's mood, however incomprehensible that mood might be.

They knew him. Some of them had been to the fishing with him. Oh, they were sorry! They all began to speak and to try to " "Diavolo! They could only make things worse! If the breath of life was in the signore's body they would drive it out. Per Dio!" "But the signora stopped them. She told them to be silent and to carry the signore up to the Casa del Prete.

I was going to the fishing when I heard dreadful cries in the water by the inlet you know, by Salvatore's terreno!" "In the water?" "Si, signore. I went down quickly and I found Gaspare, the signore's " "I know I know!" "Gaspare in a boat with the padrone lying at the bottom, and the signora standing up to her middle in the sea." "Z't! z't!" exclaimed the doctor, "the signora in the sea!

He tore the handkerchief from his eyes and blinked. The hall was so dimly lighted that he could see nothing distinctly. "The signore's coat and hat." He passed over these articles, shook the wrinkles from his trousers, smoothed his chin, and stood at attention. The maid eyed him with abundant approval, then knocked timidly on the door leading to the drawing-room.

But it seemed to me that, while she sang in Italian, she herself was not wholly of that race." "Buonissima!" Giovanni struck a noiseless brava with his hands. "Have I not always said that the signore's ears are as sharp as my own? No, the voice was very beautiful, but it was not truly Roman. It was more like they talk in Venice. And yet the sound of the voice decided me.

"Are the public admitted to the private apartments," Anthony doubted, holding back. "No, Signore," said the old man. "But I think, if the Signore will pardon me, that the Signore's Excellency will be a connection of the family." Anthony all but jumped. "Why on earth should you think that?" he wondered. "It's the persistent feature," said Adrian, in English, with a chuckle.

He rocked on his heels and toes, and ran his palm over his blue-white chin in search of a possible slip of the razor. Giovanni came in to announce that he had telephoned, and that the signore's brown mare would be at the park entrance precisely at half-after eight. Giovanni still marveled over this wonderful voice which came out of nowhere, but he was no longer afraid of it.

"Gaspare!" Hermione said, suddenly getting up. "Signora?" "I it's odd the signore's not coming." The boy answered nothing. "Perhaps perhaps there really has been an an accident." She tried to speak lightly. "I don't think he would keep me waiting like this if " "I will go down to the sea," the boy said. "Signora, let me go down to the sea!" There was a fury of pleading in his voice.

The consort of the Conte who was Conte when I had the honour of entering the family, nearly sixty years ago, was a Crahforrdi of England, a lordessa. Moreover it is in the Signore's face. If the Signori will favour me, it will give me great pleasure to show them what they will think is the Signore's own portrait."

The old woman's filmy eyes suddenly twinkled in the gloom. The sound of the crisp pieces of paper was delightful to her ear. "Well," she said after a moment's hesitation, "if a beautiful lady does come here, that is the Signore's affair. It is none of my business." Giovanni thrust the notes into her palm, which was already wide open to receive them. His heart beat wildly.
