The Bravi were already there indeed, but he did not see them at once, and as Vespers were over and the Benediction was about to begin, he selected a spot a little apart from the common herd and knelt down to his devotions, for it was of no use to waste time that could be so profitably employed.

They have earned the reputation of being conscientious in carrying out their engagements, and intrepid in danger. Pignaver had listened attentively, and at once asked for the names and the address of the Bravi.

A woman more or less makes no difference, but there is only one Stradella! 'I will do my best, Trombin answered, 'but you cannot have everything. The Bravi and Stradella supped in a room apart for greater privacy, because a large party of noisy Bolognese merchants had arrived on their way to Venice, and were eating in the dining-room.

'Cucurullo should not have gone to them without asking his master's consent, said Ortensia, not altogether pleased. 'Do you know what Don Alberto told me? He said that Count Trombin and Count Gambardella are Bravi, the most famous in Italy! 'It is not possible, replied Pina, shaking her head. 'I do not believe it!

The dining-room was spacious and airy, having two large grated windows that overlooked the square, and there were several small tables besides the long one at which the 'ordinary' was served every day at noon. The Bravi were now the only guests, and were installed near one of the windows, for the day was warm.

She had told him of the step Cucurullo had taken, and he had not blamed his man; on the contrary, the thought that the two Bravi were perhaps near her now was comforting, and he wished that he were quite sure of having seen them. As he took his place at the desk to direct, he glanced to his right again, but the singing men close to him hindered him from seeing the body of the church.

The consequence was that they did not reach Ferrara till Wednesday afternoon, having spent a night in Padua and another in Rovigo; and they were of course persuaded that Stradella and Ortensia were by that time already in Florence, if they had taken that direction. So far, the Bravi had only spoken of their business when it was necessary to compare notes about the information they gathered.

The Bravi had now parted company, and Trombin had quietly gone out of the church, leaving Gambardella alone.

And conscience counts for so little, these bravi have so little value for their own words, that they will loudly praise in the greenroom the work they tear to tatters in print. Nay, men have been known to transfer their services from one paper to another without being at the pains to consider that the opinions of the new sheet must be diametrically antagonistic to those of the old.

'I am going to the apothecary's for some camomile, she said quietly, and the old man merely nodded as he opened the street door for her. The Bravi had cared very little whether Pina was at home or not when Cucurullo came to get the objects for which Stradella had sent him at Gambardella's suggestion.
