I asked you all here to-night, as you know, to honor me by your presence and to give a welcome to our mutual friend, Signor Guido Ferrari." Here I was interrupted by a loud clapping of hands and ejaculations of approval, while Ferrari himself murmured affably between two puffs of his cigarette. "Tropp' onore, amico, tropp' onore!"
"Oh! tropp' onore, signor tropp' onore!" and thus I left him, standing still bareheaded on the deck of his little vessel, with a kindly light on his brown face like the reflection of a fadeless sunbeam. Good-hearted, merry rogue!
"You are such an old friend of the family, conte, that perhaps you will not mind sitting at the head of the table?" "Tropp' onore, signora!" I answered, bowing gallantly, as I at once resumed my rightful place at my own table, Ferrari placing himself on my right hand, Nina on my left.
"Tropp' onore!" he murmured, as he kissed the little hand she held out to him in the Sicilian fashion of gallantry "I fear I am perhaps too early?" "Oh no! We were about to go in to luncheon I know the hour by the bell of the monastery down there you hear it?" A soft "ting-ting tong" rang from the olive and ilex woods below the Palazzo, and Morgana, listening, smiled.
