The scene which met my sight made me recoil with a feeling very different to what I expected. "A priest was at the altar a stranger, whom I knew not; and before him stood my young sister Nina, her hand clasped in that of the man whose life I had saved of whom I had now so many dark suspicions, Argiri Caramitzo. I rushed forward with a cry of rage, and would have borne Nina off from him.
"`Oh! injure him not, Paolo, he is my husband my life; till me, if I have done wrong; but he would have it so. "`She speaks truly, said the priest. `She is the wedded wife of Signor Argiri Caramitzo, or by whatever name this signor is known. "`I can bear much from you, Paolo, said Caramitzo, speaking to me for the first time; `but you must not interfere in a case of this sort.
"Lady," she at length exclaimed, "I have wronged you I feel I know you cannot be the base, the cruel being I have believed you. You would not seek to estrange the affections of a husband from one who lives for him alone. Say you do not love Argiri Caramitzo, the chief of this island you do not wish to win his love."
Had I indeed been able to arouse the other inmates of the castle, it would have been of no avail, for it was now completely in the power of Caramitzo, as I have hitherto called him for under that name I then knew him; though I need scarcely tell you that he was no other than the pirate Zappa.
I could not expect her crew to act otherwise than they were doing towards me; and the true character of Caramitzo now appearing more evident, I felt that there was greater reason to rescue my betrayed sister from his power; and I thought that the only way of so doing would be to affect no hesitation even in joining them.
There was thus no longer any disguise nor could they, should they be conquered, expect any mercy at the hands of the pirate. We must now go back to the day on which our story commences, or rather, at an early hour on the following morning, when the young Greek, Argiri Caramitzo, and his Italian companion, Paolo Montifalcone, left the ball-room of the Auberge de Provence.
