"Not at all: young and slight, with dark eyes and rather a finely-cut face. Calls himself Dino Vasari or some such name." Hugo started: a yellowish pallor overspread his face. For a moment he stopped short in the street: then hurried on so fast that Percival was left a few steps behind. "What's the matter? So you know him?" said Heron, overtaking him by a few vigorous strides. "A little.
"I heard a voice that called me," said Dino. Then he looked at Hugo, and pressed his shoulder somewhat heavily with his hand. "What were you doing there? For whom were you waiting?" "For nobody," muttered Hugo. "Are you sure of that? I could almost believe that you were waiting for me; and should I be far wrong?
He would be told again that he was not fit to be a monk. And the desire to be a monk curious as it may seem to us had grown up with Dino as a beautiful ideal.

"Yes, I promise; and here is my hand!" said Dino, giving the little girl a hearty handshake.
On his return he entered the tiny slip of a room which Dino occupied, fearing lest his movements should have disturbed the sleeper. But Dino had not stirred.
