But just at that moment Carlino's voice was heard in the hall. "Not now," replied Noemi. "To-night."
It was a quarter to five, and at half-past four it was daily her duty to prepare Carlino's medicine. III. Half an hour before she reached the Grand Hôtel Giovanni and Maria Selva arrived there. Young di Leynì arrived at the same time. He also had come to inquire for Signora Dessalle, and expressed his satisfaction at this meeting; but he was far from cheerful.
It is too difficult to write here. The mist is rolling down from the uplands high above the spring, and a cold west wind is blowing. I must be careful of my health on Carlino's account, and this is another sacrifice, for I hate my health! Later. Noemi, could you not contrive to let the enclosed half-sheet of paper, upon which I have written in pencil, fall into his hands?
Jeanne was in her salon next to Carlino's room, where he was accompanying Chieco's violoncello on the piano. She came forward to meet her friends with a smile that, combined with the music antique Italian music, simple and peaceful made their hearts ache. She seemed rather surprised to see di Leynì, from whom she had not expected a visit.
I made a great sacrifice for Carlino's sake when I returned to Vena after an absence of three years. I have always loved him, but the message from Jenne would make me face far greater sacrifices than this for him, make me face them willingly, though conscious of having lost all merit in them. I am not satisfied with your letters; I will tell you why sometime, but not now.
Towards noon on Saturday Jeanne received a note from Signora Albacina. The wife of the Under-Secretary of State was expecting Jeanne at her own home at two o'clock. It was in consequence of this invitation that Jeanne drove away shortly before two, regardless of Carlino's protests.
Jeanne, her head aflame, her heart and her pulse in a tumult, went on without answering. It seemed to her she was being borne through the darkness towards him, on the tide of an unknown sea. Towards him, towards him. Towards his God also? The mighty wind confused her, roaring above and around her. Noemi's words, Carlino's words were rending her soul in a violent struggle. Towards his God also?
