There is an extra butler to be obtained when the function is a sufficiently grand one to warrant the expense, but as he wears carpet slippers and Pina flirts with him from soup to fruit, we find ourselves no better served on the whole, and prefer Cecco, since he transforms an ordinary meal into a beguiling comedy. "What does it matter, after all?" asks Salemina.
"Something!" echoed Mullins. "What of Cecco?" demanded Noodler. "He's as dead as Jukes," said Hook shortly. His reluctance to return to the cabin impressed them all unfavourably, and the mutinous sounds again broke forth. All pirates are superstitious, and Cookson cried, "They do say the surest sign a ship's accurst is when there's one on board more than can be accounted for."
"He gave us laws he rid the Campagna of robbers filled the streets with merchants, and the shops with wares defeated the boldest lords and fiercest soldiery of Italy " "And now wants to tax the people! that's all the thanks we get for helping him," said the grumbling Cecco. "What would he have been without us? we that make, can unmake."
Is that all we are fit for?" "Hark to Cecco del Vecchio!" "No, no; not now," growled the smith. "Tonight the artificers have a special meeting. We'll see we'll see!" A young man, muffled in a cloak, who had not been before observed, touched the smith. "Whoever storms the Capitol the day after tomorrow at the dawn," he whispered, "shall find the guards absent!"
"Well, what have you?" growled the Giant. Gigi presented the tambourine with the few pennies rattling around somewhat lonesomely. "Humph!" snarled Cecco. "Less than last time. Is that all?" "A beating you get!" roared the Giant. Gigi shivered. "No, not all," he said. "Here is a silver piece," and he held out the coin which the kind woman had given him.
I have written to Cecco to say that there is no one so witty." "And witty." "No, indeed!" said the Major. "It was the Contessa, Miss Mapp, who has been so entertaining." "I'm sure she would be," said Miss Mapp, with an enormous smile. "And, oh, Major Benjy, you'll miss your tram unless you hurry, and get no golf at all, and then be vexed with us for keeping you.
No shout of gratulation welcomed these sturdy strangers; it was evident that their aspect cast a chill over the assembly. "Shame!" growled Cecco del Vecchio, audibly. "Has the people's friend need of the swords which guard an Orsini or a Malatesta? shame!" No voice this time silenced the huge malcontent. "His only real defence against the Barons," thought Adrian, "if he pay them well!
The Cherub!" Gigi had fallen from the top of the pyramid. He fell on his shoulder, and for a moment lay still. But presently he was on his feet, kissing his hand prettily to the crowd, and trying to pretend that he had fallen on purpose, as he had been taught. The Giant and Cecco were also quickly on their feet, and the three bowed, side by side, as a sign that the show was over.
"Why, they say it would have been more than enough in a noble; but you, being raised from the people, and having such gifts and so forth, might do yet more. It is now three weeks since they have had any new thing to talk about; but Orsini's execution today will cheer them a bit." "Well, Cecco, well," said the Tribune, rising, "they shall have more anon to feed their mouths with.
"Approach, my friend," said Rienzi, after a moment's pause; "I know all that thou hast done, and wouldst do, for Rome! Thou art worthy of her best days, and thou art born to share in their return." The smith dropped at the feet of Rienzi, who held out his hand to raise him, which Cecco del Vecchio seized, and reverentially kissed.
