After a few minutes he entered the apartment, to discover who wanted to see him; and, on recognising Sophia, was disconcerted and abashed. She was surprised at seeing him splendidly dressed, as if for some extraordinary occasion. Then he was not ill! She read confusion and terror in his countenance. 'My own Edoardo, said she, after some moments of silence; are you quite recovered?
Many times she went out with the intention of selling it, but her heart could not resolve to do so, and she returned penitent and sorrowful. Meanwhile, Edoardo was involving himself more and more in debt.
You have positively learned nothing all the time you have been seeing me make flowers. A servant entered the room, saying, 'There is no post to Venice either to-day or to-morrow: the Signor Edoardo cannot set out before Friday. 'Friday! exclaimed Sophia, 'vile day! and with a clouded countenance she silently resumed her self-imposed task. Edoardo, on the contrary, seemed glad of the delay.
Go, then, Edoardo; I have need of calm I have need of not seeing you. Suffer me to fulfil my duties, that I may be more worthy of you. When you are far away, I shall have full faith in you. But if your father should refuse his consent to our union? 'Leave those sad thoughts. My father wishes only to please me, and it will be sufficient for me to ask his consent to obtain it.
Tell me that you have only wished to put my affection to the proof that you love no other woman none but me alone! Oh, do not drive me from this house, Edoardo; do not give yourself to another woman! 'Sophia, if I could help it, do you think I would make you weep thus? 'If you could help it? What prevents you? Nothing nothing. 'Honour, Sophia. 'Honour!
It will have been born, as it were, and have grown with our love; it will have remained to me in memory of you when you were obliged to leave me for a time; it will have spoken to me of you when absent; will have a thousand times sworn love to me for you. I shall have consulted, and kissed it a thousand times, till that day in which I shall be yours! Do you hear that word, Edoardo?
To Sophia it was as clear as the sun that expressions of affection did not abound, because they had now at command what she and Edoardo had so long hoped and looked for; that the letter did not dwell on particulars, precisely because great joy is not talkative, and because the illness of Edoardo prevented it.
'No matter; but, he added, 'is not this a trick of yours a plot concocted by you and Luigia to prevent me from leaving Padua? 'You mistake, Edoardo; I would wish rather to hasten your departure. 'I am very much obliged to you, replied Edoardo, half vexed. 'What do you mean? If you do not explain your words I shall be very angry.
A young girl alone in the house of a family she does not know! 'Oh, Edoardo, you kill me! Explain yourself more clearly. This a house I do not know? Am I not to be mistress in this house? Am I not to be your wife? 'But without any previous announcement of your coming, it would not be well if my father were to find you here so unexpectedly.
Alas! there is no reproach more bitter than this: "You are a bad daughter!" And this my conscience reproaches me with being a thousand times. Thus, Edoardo, I am wanting in my duties. I am a weak creature: a powerful, and too sweet sentiment threatens to take entire possession of me, to the detriment of the other sentiments that nature has implanted in our heart.
