It was late in the afternoon when she reached a part of the river that was familiar to her, and with a start she realized that she was still a good three miles from Cellino. She was very tired and very hungry, but she sat down to consider the best plan to follow.
The value of the biography consists in its picturesqueness, its brilliant and faithful colouring, and its unconscious self-revelation of an energetic character. With regard to his pedigree Cellini tells a ridiculous story about a certain Fiorino da Cellino, one of Julius Caesar's captains, who gave his name to Florence. For the arms of the Cellini family, see lib. i. cap. 50.
Cellino was not sufficiently important to appear in the guide books, but it boasted of two possessions above its neighbors, a beautiful old church opposite the market place, and a broad stone wall that dated back to the days of Roman supremacy.
"Nonsense," Lucia spoke shortly. There was an angry gleam in her big eyes and her cheeks flushed a dark red. "Leave Cellino, indeed! The very idea! Since when must Italians make way for Austrians, I'd like to know?" "But if the enemy are advancing as they say," Maria protested nervously, "we will either have to leave, or be shelled to death by those dreadful guns."
Lucia looked down it, and could hardly believe her eyes; for there, far below, was a silver stream glistening in the sunshine, and she realized with a sense of thankfulness that it could be no other than the little river that flowed below the west wall of Cellino, and right under the windows of the Convent.
"And only think, Lucia, if you had not destroyed the bridge and warned the Captain of the beggar man, we might have been taken by surprise, and Cellino would be an Austrian village. Oh, I tell you the ward rings with your praise. The men talk of nothing else." "Nonsense, I did not do it alone. How about your Roderigo? He is the one who deserves the praise.
Another shake of the small black head, and an expressive shrug. "You live in Cellino, so why not say so? Come, no more sulking. If you won't answer me of your own free will, you must be made to answer." "No, Señor," Lucia smiled provokingly. "No what in thunder do you mean?" "No, Señor," there was not a trace of impertinence in her face. The officer looked at her in despair.
