"We'll have Miss Fabrizi b-by all means," Bernie chattered. "You stay here and talk to her while I go," Norvin suggested, quickly. "And, Myra Nell, I'll fetch you a lot of chocolates. I'll fetch you anything, if you'll only cheer up." "Remember, It's against my wishes," the girl said. "But she's not at the hospital now; she's living in the Italian quarter."
It had occurred to Fabrizi and a few other leading Florentines that this was a propitious moment for a bold effort to reform the press-laws. "Of course," the dramatist Lega had said, when the subject was first broached to him; "it would be impossible to start a newspaper till we can get the press-law changed; we should not bring out the first number.
"Its gravity may be understood when you know that I have been marked for the same fate as Chief Donnelly." The old man started. "My labors have taken me into many quarters. I seek information through many channels. It was upon this business, in a way, that I came to see Miss Fabrizi." "I do not follow you." "She is a Sicilian. She knows much which would be of value to the Committee and to me.
That was the terrible part of it all I had to pretend I was nearly killed, just to take Bernie's mind off the hat. I stayed in bed for the longest time I was afraid to get up and he got Vittoria Fabrizi to wait on me. So that's how I met her. You can't linger along with your life in a person's hands for weeks at a time without getting attached to her.
"I'm taking Italian lessons from Myra Nell's nurse, Miss Fabrizi. She's a very superior woman, for a nurse, and she knows all about the Mafia. Quite an inspiration, I call it, thinking of her. I'm working her for informa for a clue." He winked one eye gravely, and Norvin gasped. Bernie suddenly seemed very secretive, very different from his usual self.
Within were a newspaper reporter, a doctor, the Chief of Police, the Mayor of the city, while outside a curious throng was gathered. Seeing Miss Fabrizi, she ran toward her, sobbing nervously. "Where is he, Vittoria? Tell me that he's safe!" Some one answered, "He's safe and resting quietly." "T-take me to him."
"What a strange creature that is; and what an odd affection for mountebanks!" said Riccardo, coming back to his visitors. "Case of a fellow-feeling, I should think," said Martini; "the man's a mountebank himself, if ever I saw one." "I wish I could think he was only that," Fabrizi interposed, with a grave face. "If he is a mountebank I am afraid he's a very dangerous one."
He glanced at the door as if expecting an interruption. "I am she." "Contessa!" "Hush!" She laid her fingers upon his lips. "I am no longer the Contessa Margherita. I am Vittoria Fabrizi." "Then you have been here in New Orleans for a long time?" "More than a year." "Impossible! I You It's inconceivable! Why have we never met?" "I have seen you many times." "And you didn't speak?
La Branche clung to him like a drowning man; his business affairs called him repeatedly to the telephone; Myra Nell appropriated him with all the calm assurance of a queen, and Madame La Branche insisted upon seeing personally to his every want. The only person of whom he saw little was Vittoria Fabrizi.
She was clad as he often remembered her, in a dress which partook of her favorite and inseparable color, her hair shone with that unforgettable luster; her face was the face he had dreamed of, and there was no shock of readjustment in his recognition of her. Rather, her real presence made the cherished mental image seem poor and weak. "I came to see Miss Fabrizi. Why are you here?"
