When once one is off the road anything may happen, from a crumpled mud-guard to the car on the top of you. And there was his forty miles an hour spurt with the great and gifted Delphine Marquise for whom he was to have written a play and been a perfect Annunzio. Until Willersley appeared very like the motor-cyclist buzzing in the opposite direction. And then had ensued angers, humiliations....
We all know of the conflict now raging in Russia, and the amazing rebellion of De Annunzio in Fiume, and the er as I was saying, the possibility of the Kaiser seizing his bloody throne and calling upon his minions to ah er renew the gigantic struggle. The history of the world records no such stupendous sacrifice of life on the cruel altars of greed and avarice and er ambition.
Talking with Don Annunzio himself that evening, Rita found him far less guarded than his wife in his expression of patriotic zeal. He echoed her saying, that every Mambi in the country knew where to come when he wanted anything; and he went on to draw lurid pictures of what he would do to the Gringos if he but had the power. "See, señorita!" he said, in his wheezy, asthmatic voice.
The door was locked and barred, but they were smashing the window-shutters with the butts of their carbines. He glanced along the passage. Inside the door stood Don Annunzio, in his vast white pajamas, firing composedly through a wicket; beside him his wife, as quietly loading and handing him the weapons.
If I shut my eyes to one or two things, it was delightful. I liked it. But my father would have stood a painter as my husband almost as cheerfully as he would a man of colour. I made a fool of myself, as people say, about Caston. Well when the war came, he talked in a way that irritated me. He talked like an East Side Annunzio, about art and war.
I found, however, in a deserted rancho, this! and he held up a delicate comb of tortoise-shell." "My side-comb!" cried Rita. "I wondered where I had lost it. Go on, pray, Don Annunzio." "He questioned me again, this colonel, on whom may the saints send a lingering disease. I can swear that there is no young lady in the house? but assuredly, I can, and do swear it, with all earnestness.
This evening, when the coolness falls, Don Carlos, with a chosen escort, will conduct you to the residence of Don Annunzio. There, I rejoice to think that you will find, not luxury, but at least some few of the comforts of ordinary life.
