"When I think of what she is suffering now, what you say sounds cruelly irreverent. Jack, I know, feels as I do." "Yes, he does," said the young man. He got up now and stood, very tall, in the middle of the room looking down at Mary. "I must be off. I'll bring you those books to-morrow afternoon though I don't see much good in your reading d'Annunzio."
All the way from the Piazza Tritone to the Borghese Gardens, even to the Villa Malta where Prince von Buelow lived, the crowd packed, in the hope of hearing some words from the poet.
