"Why, I don't believe he's done it, you know." "Oh, I didn't mean Mr. Belsky. I meant Mr. Gregory. For telling Mr. Belsky?" "Certainly not. Men always tell those things to some one, I suppose. Nobody was to blame but Belsky, for his meddling."
"Surely," asked Gregory, in an anguish for what he now dreaded, "you haven't spoken to her of me?" "Not by name, no. I could not have that indiscretion " "The name is nothing. Have you said that you knew me Of course not! But have you hinted at any knowledge Because " "You will hear!" said Belsky; and he poured out upon Gregory the story of what he had done. "She did not deny anything.
Immortality alone offers a solution for these mysteries. "After death cometh the judgment." The Christian bishop, Joseph, and Ivan Belsky, the regent, in cordial coöperation, endeavored in all things to promote prosperity and happiness. Again there was a coalition of the Tartars for the invasion of Russia.
He came the next morning long before Clementina expected visitors, and he was walking nervously up and down the room when she appeared. As if he could not speak, he held toward her without speaking a telegram in English, dated that day in Rome: "Deny report of my death. Have written. "Belsky." She looked up at Gregory from the paper, when she had read it, with joyful eyes.
The day that followed, Belsky haunted the hotel where Gregory was to arrive with his pupil, and where the pupil's family were waiting for them. That night, long after their belated train was due, they came; the pupil was with his father and mother, and Gregory was alone, when Belsky asked for him, the fourth or fifth time. "You are not well," he said, as they shook hands. "You are fevered!"
A tawny deluge rolled down from the mountains through the bed of the Arno, and kept the Florentine fire-department on the alert night and day. "It is a curious thing about this country," said Mr. Hinkle, encountering Baron Belsky on the Ponte Trinita, "that the only thing they ever have here for a fire company to put out is a freshet.
Belsky leaned over the parapet and looked down into the eddies and currents as the fitful light revealed them. He had a fantastic pleasure in studying them, and choosing the moment when he should leap the parapet and be lost in them.
"If he gets left on the Grossetto line, he can go back and come up by Orvieto, no?" "He can, if he isn't in a hurry," Hinkle assented. "It's a good way, if you've got time to burn." Belsky did not attempt to explore the American's meaning. "Do you know," he asked, "whether Mrs. Lander and her young friend are still in Florence? "I guess they are."
They can't try him for suicide, but as I understand the police, here, a man can't lose his hat over a bridge in Florence with impunity, especially in a time of high water. Anyway, they're identifying Belsky by due process of law in Rome, now, and I guess Mr. Gregory" he nodded toward Gregory, who sat silent and absent "will be kept under surveillance till the whole mystery is cleared up."
I don't know what I'm doing-saying. What will she think what will she think of me!" He had ceased to speak to Belsky; he collapsed into a chair, and hid his face in his arms stretched out on the table before him. Belsky watched him in the stupefaction which the artistic nature feels when life proves sentient under its hand, and not the mere material of situations and effects.
