They separated here, some to go up to the higher part, while others were to go down in the same direction as Annetta. The girl looked up at the doctor's windows, and her small eyes flashed viciously. It would be a pleasant ending to the two days' holiday to have a look at her work. Now that he was getting well, as Dalrymple told her, she was glad that she had not killed him.
Cousin Annetta said she could hardly eat anything. 'You know, Uncle Abraham, she said, in a very affected, fine-young-lady voice, 'I really hardly eat enough to keep a bird alive. Mother says she wonders how I continue to exist. And she picked and pecked until Grandfather King declared he would like to throw something at her.
"Is that you, my good Annetta?" said the voice of the duke. Eugene emerged from the alcove, and entered the sitting-room. There, in an arm-chair, before a table laden with viands, fruits, and rare wines, sat the expiring patient that had made his will in the morning. The duke was in the act of raising a glass of wine to his lips.
"Whenever you like," answered her father gruffly, but already sorry for what he had done. He turned his back, and went out into the night. It was now almost quite dark, and Annetta stood still by the chair, listening to his retreating footsteps. Then she slowly turned and gazed at the flaring wicks of the lamp.
I did not recognize you," said the old woman. "I will ask." Still holding the door almost closed, she drew in her head and spoke with Sor Tommaso. Annetta could hear his answer. "Of course!" he said, in a voice still weak, but singularly oily with the politeness of his intention. "Let her favour us!" The door was opened, and Annetta went in.
"I thought you had gone out," he said carelessly, to Annetta. The girl turned her head quickly. "I?" she cried. "And alone? Without even Gigetto? When do I ever go out alone at night? Will you have some supper, Signore?" "I have just eaten, thank you," answered Dalrymple, seating himself. "Three hours ago. It was not yet an hour of the night when you ate. Well at your pleasure.
The woman showed her the little tablet erected in memory of Maria Addolorata, and she told the story as she had heard it, and dwelt upon the funeral services and the masses which had been said. "At least, she is in peace," said Gloria, in a low voice, staring at the tablet. Vol. "Poor Annetta used to say that Sister Maria Addolorata sinned in her throat," said Nanna. "But you see.
"Is the beefsteak of mutton ready?" inquired the Scotchman, cheerfully, with his extraordinary accent. Annetta ran past him, and returned almost before he was seated, bringing the food. The girl sat down at the end of the table, opposite the street door, and watched him as he swallowed one mouthful of meat after another, now and then stopping to drink a tumbler of wine at a draught.
"Nothing," answered Annetta, looking down and arranging the knives and forks symmetrically on the clean cloth she had laid. "I might have killed him just now in hot blood, when the Englishman came in," said Stefanone, reflectively. "But now my blood has grown cold. I shall do nothing to him." "So much the better for him." She still spoke in a low voice, as she turned away from the table.
He watched them as they fell, one by one, without looking up at his daughter, who began to arrange the plates for Dalrymple's meal. "I will teach you to make love with the Englishman," he said slowly, still watching the dropping wine. "Me!" cried Annetta, with real or feigned astonishment, and she tossed a knife and fork angrily into a plate, with a loud, clattering noise.
