Colonel Ferrari, the military Governor at Brisighella, is uncle to the officer that Rivarez wounded; he's a vindictive sort of brute and won't give up a chance to spite an enemy." "You think he will try to keep Rivarez here?" "I think he will try to get him hanged." Martini glanced quickly at Gemma. She was very pale, but her face had not changed at the words.
"You have been quick about it." "There's no time to lose. Gino went into Brisighella at once; and some of the plans we already had. That list of hiding-places was made by Rivarez himself; you can see by the handwriting." "What sort of men are the soldiers of the guard?"
"Very well, it doesn't matter." He went into the alcove, and, kneeling down, kissed the feet and pedestal of the crucifix, whispering softly: "Lord, keep me faithful unto death." When he rose, the officer was standing by the table, examining Montanelli's portrait. "Is this a relative of yours?" he asked. "No; it is my confessor, the new Bishop of Brisighella."
Of course I must bow to the committee's decision, but I continue to think that it has pared its wit o' both sides and left M-mon-signor M-m-montan-n-nelli in the middle." "Montanelli?" Gemma repeated. "I don't understand you. Do you mean the Bishop of Brisighella?" "Yes; the new Pope has just created him a Cardinal, you know. I have a letter about him here. Would you care to hear it?
He began to wander through the streets in an aimless way, brooding miserably over the scene of the morning, and wishing that he had never consented to Domenichino's plan of holding the meeting in Brisighella. If at the beginning he had declared the project too dangerous, some other place would have been chosen; and both he and Montanelli would have been spared this ghastly, ridiculous farce.
"That we have not been able to find out yet; the Cricket has only just come to the place, and knows nothing about the other men." "We must find out from Gino what the Cricket himself is like. Is anything known of the government's intentions? Is Rivarez likely to be tried in Brisighella or taken in to Ravenna?" "That we don't know.
"If you put it that way, of course I shall be very grateful for your guidance." "Then you will come to me next month? That's right. And run in to see me, my lad, when you have time any evening." Shortly before Easter Montanelli's appointment to the little see of Brisighella, in the Etruscan Apennines, was officially announced.
He had now been three weeks in the fortress, and the authorities of Brisighella were heartily sick of their bargain. They had subjected him to interrogation upon interrogation; and after employing, to obtain admissions from him, every device of threat, persuasion, and stratagem which their ingenuity could suggest, remained just as wise as on the day of his capture.
