Restored by the pressure, she drew a long breath and said in a low voice: "One way or another, things will come to a head to-night. This Jewish intriguante and the old fox her father are going away by the railway at nine o'clock, and Felix will escort them. Antonino will be alone here, and I mean to make him my assistant as he has been my husband's."
We withdrew furious to the heights again, where we found honest Antonino, who did us the pleasure to yell to his fellow-scoundrels on the beach, "You had better take these signori for a just price. They are going to the syndic to complain of you." At which there arose a lamentable outcry among the boatmen, and they called with one voice for us to come down and go for a franc apiece.
We have nobody here for you to try graces upon except Mademoiselle Rebecca's papa and he being a Jew, you must not go near him, fresh from the confessional." Madame Clemenceau seemed to be musing. "I forgot there's young M. Antonino," continued the servant. Césarine made a contemptuous gesture, expressive of the conquest being too easy.
The stroke confirmed my subjection to Antonino, and I took his boat without further parley, declining even to feel the muscle of his boatmen's arms, which he exposed to my touch in evidence that they were strong enough to row us swiftly to Capri.
'I cannot teach or preach or govern men, he said, 'I can but use my gift of painting for the glory of God. Let me rather be as I am, for it is safer to obey than to rule. But though he would not take this honour himself, he told the Pope of a friend of his, a humble brother, Fra Antonino, at the convent of San Marco, who was well fitted to do the work.
But something held her back, as one is held back from disturbing the slumber of a tired child, and she returned to the sitting-room, wrote out the following telegram: "Shall start for Kairouan at once; wire me Tunisia Palace Hotel, Tunis, MADAME DELAREY." and sent Antonino with it flying down the hill.
"Yet you gave him the telegram that explained all?" "Yes, madame; but not until some time after your departure and when master had returned from a promenade alone. I know he was alone, because M. Antonino was racing about to show him some of his wonderful experiments." Beyond a doubt, it was Clemenceau who had stood witness to the tragedy in the meadow.
"But what is to become of me during your absence and of M. Daniels? Remember that I have nobody to understand me, sympathize with me, become endeared to me, and aid me!" "I, alone?" repeated the Italian, affected by the melancholy tone common to the man of one idea who must, to concentrate his thoughts, set aside other ties of union with his race. "Do you doubt it?" Antonino felt no doubt.
He turned away and deliberately took half-a-dozen salted sprats from a keg behind the counter and laid them in a dish preparatory to cleaning them for his own supper. The man who had spoken to him seemed annoyed, but only shrugged his shoulders impatiently and went on eating and drinking. Antonino took a jug of water and went outside to wash his fish.
Antonino, the saintly head of the monastery, having suggested to Cosimo that he should apply some of his wealth, not always too nicely obtained, to the Lord, Cosimo began literally to squander money on S. Marco, dividing his affection between S. Lorenzo, which he completed upon the lines laid down by his father, and this Dominican monastery, where he even had a cell reserved for his own use, with a bedroom in addition, whither he might now and again retire for spiritual refreshment and quiet.
