She had a fixed idea that he would kill her. Monsignor Catinari was indeed much provoked when the signora told him the true story of the little novice. "Just see what creatures girls are!" he exclaimed. "How are we to know if they have a vocation or not? That girl professed herself both willing and desirous to be a nun."

"Did you see your mother?" Petersen asked.
Only the quiver of her lowered eyelids and a slight shiver told that she knew he was addressing her. Matteo went out, and the signora, at her wits' end, undertook to encourage Silvia. There was no time to see Monsignor Catinari or to appeal to any authority; and if there were, it would have availed nothing perhaps.
