Nothing much a soup, some rye bread, peas, and lettuce, but, if they would condescend, he, Fabiani, would be highly honored. Hermia accepted with alacrity. She was hungry again. Markham smiled and glanced up at the smiling heavens, unfastened Clarissa's pack, and brought out a roasted chicken cold, a loaf of bread, a new tin pot, and a bag of coffee, which he brought to the fireside.
In "Marie Tudor," I have made Fabiani answer under similar circumstances, "No, a Jew." Cournet, who probably had not read "Marie Tudor," answered, "No, a police spy." Then he resumed, "I have killed a police spy to save three men, one of whom was myself." Cournet was right.
"It seems a pity," said Hermia, smiling. Fabiani shrugged his shoulders and raised his brows to the sky, with the resignation of the fatalist. "It is life voil tout." The soup was of vegetables, for which the Fabiani family had not paid, but it was none the less nourishing on that account.
Here," and he pointed to the others, "is Signor Luigi Fabiani, the world's greatest acrobat; there Signora Fabiani, world famous as a juggler and hand balancer; Signorina Stella Fabiani, the child wonder of the twentieth century."
At Mortagne, which they had reached upon the second day, Philidor and Yvonne had a first view of a public performance of the Fabiani family, for, the conditions being agreeable, Cleofonte had pitched their camp within the limits of the town, and a crowd, augmented by Yvonne and her orchestra, had made their visit profitable.
He recited this rapidly and with much more assurance than his ordinary command of French had indicated, giving complexion to the thought, as did his gestures, that this was his public confession. Hermia bowed. As for himself, he was Monsieur Philidor, the lightning portrait artist, of Paris. Likenesses, two francs soldiers, ten sous. Signor Fabiani was glad. Madonna mia!
The animals fed and watered, Markham settled down by the fire with his newly found friends and lit a pipe. In a moment Luigi had fallen back on his blanket and was asleep. Markham was conscious that Fabiani still talked, but he had already learned that it was not necessary to make replies, and so he sat, nodding or answering in monosyllables.
If I had I shouldn't have fled from the roulotte of the Fabiani family yesterday when you were looking for me. You traced us from Alenon, of course " "I? Why should I follow you?" "I haven't the slightest idea unless your conversation a moment ago with John Markham explains it." "You heard that!" "Oh, yes, didn't you want me to? I'm not deaf. But you needn't be at all worried about it."
The cap, the earrings, the mole upon his cheek everything was as like as possible. Si, Monsieur Philidor was a great artist a very great artist. He, Cleofonte Fabiani, said so. But when Philidor took the sketch from his pad and presented it to Cleofonte with his compliments, the athlete's delight knew no bounds.
