She had made him an allowance to get rid of him, and he lived on it at Rome. "And where is Cesarino?" "In this town. You can see him whenever you like." "Are you happy?" "Quite. People say that I have a lover, but it is not true; and you can see me at any time with perfect liberty."
"Mercy!" cried poor Trenta, putting his hands to his ears. "For pity's sake the palace will fall about your ears! Remember your niece is present." And again he pointed to Enrica, whose head was bent down over her work. "Ha! ha!" was all the reply vouchsafed by the marchesa, followed by a scornful laugh. "I shall say what I please in my own house. Poor Cesarino! You are very ignorant. I pity you!"
We spent the time by talking with interest on various topics till Cesarino and the husband came back. The dear child finished his conquest of me at supper; he had a merry random wit, and all the Neapolitan vivacity. He sat down at the clavier, and after playing several pieces with the utmost skill he began to sing Neapolitan songs which made us all laugh.
"And you have rendered all this, which would have made me happy, an impossibility." "The fates decided so; we will say no more about it. On the death of the duke I left Naples, leaving Cesarino at the same boarding school, under the protection of the Prince de la Riccia, who has always looked upon him as a brother.
Your income is greatly reduced. Enrica is therefore portionless." "No, no, not altogether." The marchesa moved nervously in her chair, carefully avoiding meeting Trenta's steely blue eyes. "I have saved money, Cesarino I have indeed," she repeated. The marchesa was becoming quite affable. "I cannot touch the heirlooms. But Enrica will have a small portion." "Well, well," replied Trenta.
I took the opportunity of handing over to Greppi Canano's cheque, and he gave me a receipt for it. Therese asked us to supper for the ensuing evening, and said, "There will be four of us in all." Greppi seemed curious to know who the fourth person could be, but I right guessed it would be my dear son Cesarino.
He told me yesterday that Cesarino might be my brother on the mother's side, but not on my father's; as he had seen his father in the theatre, but that he could not possibly be my father, too. If I have children by Palesi all I have will go to them, but if not Cesarino will be my heir. My property is well secured, even if the Prince de Riccia were to die."
"Is it permitted to enter?" he asked, smiling blandly at the marchesa, as, leaning upon his stick, he made her a ceremonious bow. "Yes, Cesarino, yes, you may enter," she replied, stiffly. "I cannot very well send you away now but you deserve it." "Why, most distinguished lady?" again asked Trenta, submissively, closing the door, and advancing to where she sat.
