More especially did she understand at this time that life may be compared to a stream, for she was vaguely conscious of drifting she knew not whither. Fitz had come suddenly into her life; Captain Bontnor had come into it; and now this man, Cipriani de Lloseta, seemed to be asserting his right to come into it too. And she did not know quite what to do with them all.
The Count met his eyes and nodded gravely. With a little nod and a sudden pleasant smile the other returned to the perusal of his evening paper. Cipriani de Lloseta drew forward a deep chair, and with a courteous gesture invited Fitz to be seated. He took a similar chair himself, and then leant forward, cigar-case in hand. "You know Mallorca," he said. Fitz took a cigar.
For this was Cipriani de Lloseta de Mallorca, a great man in Barcelona, if he wished it, a greater in his own little island of Majorca, whether he wished it or not. Leading out of this same fascinating Rambla, to the left, up towards the impenetrable fortress of Juich impenetrable excepting once, and then it was the pestilent Englishman, as usual leading then to the left is the Calle de la Paz.
In 1860 the site of Edith Road was, according to Crofton Croker, to be let on building lease. In it, Croker says, "once stood the house of Cipriani." Cipriani lived in England from 1755 to 1785, and his works were largely engraved by Bartolozzi, who also had a house at North End.
"I thought you had bad news," she said. And Cipriani de Lloseta knew that this was a woman whose heart was at sea. "No," he answered; "I merely came to quarrel." He drew forward a chair, and Eve sat down. "We shall always quarrel," he went on, "unless you are kind. Let us begin at once and get it over, because I want to stay to lunch.
The leading part taken by a number of Italian revolutionaries, especially Cipriani, afterwards the leader of the Apennine Anarchists, in the Commune of 1871, contributed very considerably to promote Socialist demagogy in the revolutionary centres of Italy, in the Romagna, and the Marches. Closer contact with Bakunin proved to be the decisive touch.
Can you guarantee that the public interest, being aroused by these articles, may not ask for further details, which details might easily be given elsewhere, in something less respectable than the Commentator?" "My dear sir, one would think you had a crime on your conscience." Cipriani de Lloseta smiled such a smile as John Craik had never seen before. "I have many," he answered. "Who has not?"
As an old friend of your father's, and one who moved and lived in neighbourly intercourse with him before your birth, and before the deplorable death of your mother, I now waive ceremony, and beg that you and your uncle will come and take tea with me this afternoon at my humble abode in the 'Calle de la Paz. Believe me, dear Miss Challoner, yours very sincerely, "CIPRIANI DE LLOSETA DE MALLORCA."
The steamer has loosed its moorings, is slowly picking its way out of the crowded harbour, and it will pass the pier-head by the time that Cipriani de Lloseta reaches that point. The man walks slowly, cloaked to the mouth, for the evening breeze is chilly. He gravely descends the steps and begins to walk on the little path around the circular tower at the end of the pier.
It would not be truthful to say that she came on tiptoe, her build not warranting that mode of progression. Agatha watched her without surprise. Mrs. Ingham-Baker always moved like that in her dressing-gown. Like many ladies, she put on stealth with that garment. "How beautifully the Count plays!" said the mother. "Beautifully!" answered Agatha. And neither was thinking of Cipriani de Lloseta.
