We came very slowly down the path along the river Carita, and rested often beside it, for surely, I thought, the rising of the spring had sent a little more water down its dry bed, and some of it must flow on to the city. So it was almost evening when we came back to the streets.
One of them, when he fell into the hands of the police, exclaimed, as they led him away, "Ho fatto pitt carita!" "I have given away more in charity than any three convents in these provinces." And the fellow spoke truth. In Lombardy, the people cherish the memory of two notorious robbers, who flourished about two centuries ago under the Spanish government.
Speak out!" he cried, advancing a step towards the old creature. "If you lie to me, I will kill you! She was here do not deny it." "Yes yes," answered the woman, cowering back in some terror. "Per carita! Don't murder me I tell you the truth." With a sudden movement Giovanni turned on his heel and entered Gouache's sitting-room.
"Just think what a good time we're going to have with Uncle Cliff; and it's only a little while until the tenth of June. Why, the time will just fly after Easter, and oh, my dear, be thankful that you have a mother to go to suppose " But Carita had turned suddenly and gathered Blue Bonnet in a loving embrace. "How selfish I am," she said, between sobs.
Rub-a-dub-dub! Rub-a-dub-dub like that. Everybody must try to represent her instrument. Carita, you're a fiddle. Pretend to handle a bow. Isabel, you're a piano. Run your hands up and down as if you were playing a scale. "Watch me. I beat the drum. When I stop beating and imitate one of your instruments suppose it is the fiddle then you stop playing the fiddle, Carita, and begin to beat the drum.
Peggy thinks that she will change the spelling of it though. She thought some of 'Jerrushia. It is much more foreign sounding, isn't it?" "It's much more ridiculous," Blue Bonnet said with some impatience. "You children must lie awake nights thinking up these weighty subjects. Jerrushia! Really, Carita, I am amazed at you!" Which showed that Blue Bonnet was advancing, both in taste and wisdom.
But the investiture of the lily of Florence with scarlet is a symbol, unintentional, observe, but not the less notable, of the recovery of human sense and intelligence in this matter. The reign of war was past; this was the sign of it; the red glow, not now of the Towers of Dis, but of the Carita, "che appena fora dentro al fuoco nota."
The dining-room at Miss North's was not large, but it was cheerful and inviting. There were some five or six tables and at the head of each sat a teacher. Miss North met Blue Bonnet and Carita at the door and took them to her own table. When the meal was over she assigned them to their regular places, and again Blue Bonnet found to her dismay that she and Carita were separated.
"To Washington, to school. He prepares there for West Point. He has a trying period before him, and much hard work. Be sure to put on rubbers and big coats. It is very cold to-day." Blue Bonnet and Carita were off in a trice. Alec met them at the stile. "Was just coming over to see you," he said, shaking hands. "All right. We'll go back." "No, come along. Grandfather is expecting this visit."
Gaines at the tea and the incident during the seance when Carita Belleville had betrayed her annoyance over some remark by Errol. The dancing by Edith Gaines had given a flash of the jealous nature of the woman. Had it been interest in Errol that had led her to visit the laboratory? Kennedy was weaving a web about some one, I knew. But about whom?
