"Dino does not correspond," said Cornelli quickly. She had not quite understood her father's words, but felt them to be an attack on her friend. "Climb up there, Cornelli, and pull the bell-rope!" he commanded. "When the door is open I'll probably find room to stand there, too." Cornelli obeyed.
The other party which was at this time in power, as I have said, was named Raspanti, which is to say graspers, and of them Dino della Rocca was head. In the midst of this disputing Raniero died, and the Raspanti were accused of having murdered him, among others by Gambacorti. Every sort of device to heal these wounds was resorted to; marriages and oaths all alike failed.
You couldn't, either, if you had the trouble I have," replied the little girl. "Oh, yes, I could. There is nothing in the world I couldn't tell," Dino asserted. "If you can't confide in other people, you can always tell your mother, for she can always smooth everything out for you. Just go to her and tell her about it. That will relieve you and everything will come right."
"Then you can be here till summer time and we two can go back to Iller-Stream together, for it is quite settled that I am going again to our good old Martha." "And I'll go, too," Mux said with conviction. "Do you know, Cornelli," he whispered into her ear, "I'll stay with you all the time in your own house and Dino can go alone to old Martha." Agnes was simply enchanted with this new prospect.
Dino looked quite frightened; he had never intended to make Cornelli sad and he could not understand what she had said. But he remembered that she had no mother and so he could understand her tears, for that was dreadfully sad. That seemed more cause for tears than that she was an only child. The thought filled him with deep compassion for her, and he said softly: "Come, Cornelli!
If you stood in your old position, even I could not persuade him to dispossess you; but you have voluntarily given it up. Your property has gone to your cousin, and Dino has now no scruple about claiming his rights. Now that Vincenza Vasari's evidence has been obtained, it is thought well that he should make the story public, and try to get his position acknowledged.
"But I am glad you don't think I neglected you on purpose, Dino. I had not forgotten those pleasant days at San Stefano." Dino smiled, too, but did not seem inclined to speak again.
"Go on, sir!" he thundered, looking at Dino from beneath his knitted brows. "Tell me the rest as quickly as you can." "He met with an English family," Dino continued, watching with keen interest the effect of his words. "They were kind to him: they took him, without character, without recommendations, and allowed him to teach their children.
She was not so blind to Hugo's inherited proclivities to passion and revenge as she pretended to be. She knew that he was a dangerous enemy, and that Dino had incurred his hatred. She must send servants after him at once, to guard him as he went upon his way. She heard her maid in the next room. Should she call Janet, or should she ring the bell?
"I will make him eat dust," he said to himself, out of his real vexation and disappointment, as he looked vengefully at Dino, who was lying face downwards on the ground, weeping with all the self-abandonment of his nature. "He must never rebel again." The Prior knew that his measures were generally effectual: he meant to take strong ones now.
