Should any little dispute arise as will be on occasion the cavaliere's sword is at the disposition of the gentleman offended. He is something of a marksman, too, as you cannot fail to have heard if you are a traveller. He has killed a man and undone a couple of ladies in every Court of Europe. He has been under the leads at Venice, and out again, deuce knows how.
Gioiachino, a cat's-meat man, waits upon the Cavaliere Aquamorta on behalf of his friend Francesco, a journeyman carpenter!" This made me more angry than I had any business to be, for she was perfectly right from the cavaliere's view of the thing. I said, "Virginia, my condition in this world has never been hidden from you.
His toilet completed, she called out to the abate to go below and see that the cavaliere's chocolate was ready; and as the door closed she turned and kissed Odo on the lips. "Oh, how red you are!" she cried laughing. "Is that the first kiss you've ever had? Then you'll remember me when you're Duke of Pianura Mirandolina of Chioggia, the first girl you ever kissed!"
"Tell me what?" demanded the marchesa, sternly. Her breath came short and quick, her thin face grew set and rigid. Like a veteran war-horse, she scented the battle from afar! "Ah! if you only knew all!" And a great spasm passed over the cavaliere's frame. "You must prepare yourself for the worst." The marchesa laughed a short, contemptuous laugh and shrugged her shoulders.
To perform punctiliously his mysterious duties toward the two ladies, and to elude or to baffle observation on his own merits this seemed the Cavaliere's modest programme. Rowland perceived that Mrs. Light, who was not always remarkable for tact, seemed to have divined his humor on this point.
Luckily for us, one of the officers was a kind of cousin of Rendel's, and came from Baltimore as well, so, as he had visited at the Cavaliere's place, we were soon invited to do the same.
"O Gesù!" cries Pipa in a loud voice, starting back, forgetting his injunction "is it not about the signorina?" "Hold your tongue, Pipa, or I will tell you nothing." Pipa's head is instantly close to the cavaliere's, her face all eagerness. "Yes, it is about the signorina the countess. She is gone!"
And with Rowland's promise to present himself on the morrow at Casa Light, he shortly afterwards departed. He left Rowland revolving many things: Christina's magnanimity, Christina's perversity, Roderick's contingent fortune, Mary Garland's certain trouble, and the Cavaliere's own fine ambiguities.
Baldassare had proposed walking to the church of San Frediano, which, in consideration of the cavaliere's wishes, they were to visit first. "No one would think of driving such a short distance," he insisted. "The sun was not hot, and the streets were all in shade."
These subjects are too grave to interest you. What are you thinking about?" An anxious look came into her eyes, and she glanced hastily round, as if to assure herself that no one was near. "Oh! I am thinking of such strange things!" She stopped and hesitated, seeing the cavaliere's glance of surprise. "I should like to tell you all, dear cavaliere I would give the world to tell you "
