Down with the traitors!" repeated a gallant young man with whom we were not acquainted, and who was sitting next to Carini. With the exception of this young man, the whole omnibus seemed seized with terror! "Hold your tongues!" exclaimed these poor frightened people; "you will cause us all to be massacred."
Ices were handed round none the less because it was bitterly cold and cakes and comfits. Old Contessa Carini, who had a grandchild at home, and no money to buy bonbons with, emptied half a plateful of them into her handkerchief,.the old servant who handed them helping her; and the Cardinal, who happened to be standing by, smilingly telling her to give the little one his benediction with them.
To see him thus with his dauntless gesture, his handsome head, pale and calm, his fervent expression, his beard and his long chestnut hair, one seemed to behold the radiant and fulminating face of an angry Christ.

"Gemma has been quite jealous of the unknown owner, but she says it is much larger than any of hers." The girls' eyes met but neither spoke, and Orazio babbled on, unheeding: "Her feet are carini, and I can span her ankle with my thumb and forefinger; but you are small made too, signorina." Carolina poked her head in at the door.
