I adore 'abroad. Have you people like us in America?" "You're not all alike, you interesting three or, counting Dolcino, four surely, surely; so that I don't think I understand your question. We've no one like your brother I may go so far as that." "You've probably more persons like his wife," Miss Ambient desolately smiled.
She observed us a moment, her candle in her hand, and then said to her husband that as she supposed he hadn't gone to bed she had come down to let him know Dolcino was more quiet and would probably be better in the morning.
Then suddenly, without transition, she said to me, "It's quite a mistake about Dolcino being better. I have seen him, and he's not at all right." "Surely his mother would know, would n't she?" I suggested. She appeared for a moment to be counting the leaves on one of the great beeches. "As regards most matters, one can easily say what, in a given situation, my sister-in-law would do.
Mark paid no attention to the summons but Dolcino turned and looked at her in shy appeal, "Can't I go with papa?" "Not when I ask you to stay with me." "But please don't ask me, mamma," said the child in his small clear new voice. "I must ask you when I want you. Come to me, dearest." And Mrs. Ambient, who had seated herself again, held out her long slender slightly too osseous hands.
I could but envy him the force of that passion, and it was at any rate through the receipt of this impression that by the time we returned I had gained the sense of intimacy with him that I have noted. Before we got up for the homeward stretch he alluded to his wife's having once or perhaps more than once asked him whether he should like Dolcino to read "Beltraffio."
Before we got up for the homeward stretch, he alluded to his wife's having once or perhaps more than once asked him whether he should like Dolcino to read Beltraffio. I think he was unconscious at the moment of all that this conveyed to me as well, doubtless, of my extreme curiosity to hear what he had replied.
And Mark does n't make love to other people, either. I assure you he does n't! All the same, of course, from her point of view, you know, she has a dread of my brother's influence on the child on the formation of his character, of his principles. It is as if it were a subtle poison, or a contagion, or something that would rub off on Dolcino when his father kisses him or holds him on his knee.
"I'm very strong," was her last word as she passed into the house, her slim flexible figure bent backward with the filial weight. So I never laid a longing hand on Dolcino. I betook myself to Ambient's study, delighted to have a quiet hour to look over his books by myself.
It may have come partly, too, from a certain compunction at having breathed to me at all harshly on the cool fair lady who sat there a desire to prove himself not after all so mismated. Dolcino continued to be much better, and it had been promised him he should come downstairs after his dinner.
The expulsion of M. Gallenga, the Times correspondent, was in reality no exception to this policy. It was not as the correspondent of an English newspaper, but as an ex-Mazzinian revolutionist and the author of Fra Dolcino, that this gentleman was obnoxious to the Papal authorities.
