"Turned Zouave!" exclaimed Madame Mayer and Del Ferice in a breath. "Turned Zouave!" "Well?" said Gouache, raising his eyebrows and enjoying their surprise. "Well why not?" Del Ferice struck a fine attitude, and, laying one hand upon Donna Tullia's arm, whispered hoarsely in her ear "Siamo traditi we are betrayed!" he said. Whereupon Donna Tullia turned a little pale.
Del Ferice smiled softly. "That is quite another matter," he answered. "If you had asked me whether you could make a fortune at this time, I would have told you that it was quite impossible without enormous capital. Quite impossible. Understand that, if you please.
This formality being accomplished, the foils were carefully compared, and Giovanni was offered the first choice. He took the one nearest his hand, and the other was carried to Del Ferice. They were simple fencing foils, the buttons being removed and the points sharpened there was nothing to choose between them.
It had soon become known that Del Ferice had escaped by the very pass which Gouache was patrolling, and the young Zouave had felt the bitterest mortification in losing so valuable and so easy a prey.
In the first place, it was confidently asserted by one party, represented by Valdarno and his set, that Giovanni had taken offence at Del Ferice for having proposed to call him to be examined before the Duchessa d'Astrardente in regard to his absence from town: that this was a palpable excuse for picking a quarrel, because it was well known that Saracinesca loved the Astrardente, and that Del Ferice was always in his way.
If I had not found the man myself, there would have been trouble. Now besides this, Del Ferice is known to hold Liberal views " "Of the feeblest kind," interrupted the statesman, who nevertheless became very grave. "Those he exhibits are of the feeblest kind, and he takes no trouble to hide them. But a fellow so ingenious as to imagine the scheme he practised against us is not a fool."
Not much could be said for the veracity of either of the statements which the two men were pleased to make to each other, but Orsino had the small advantage of being nearer to the letter, if not to the spirit of the truth. Each, however, was satisfied with the other's tact. "And so, Don Orsino," continued Del Ferice after a short pause, "you wish to try a little operation in business. Yes.
When Del Ferice had ascertained her position, he went about his business, which was manifold dancing frequently, and making a point of speaking to every one in the room. At the end of an hour, he joined the group of men around the Duchessa and took part in the conversation. It was an easy matter to make the talk turn upon Giovanni Saracinesca.
To involve Giovanni in some Liberal conspiracy, and then by betraying him to cause him to be imprisoned or exiled from Rome, was a plan which pleased Del Ferice, and which he desired earnestly to put into execution.
I do not know whether you individually would support it or not. But frankly, how would you regard such a revolutionary change as you suspect me of desiring?" "I have no objection to telling you that. I would simply make the best of it." Del Ferice laughed at the ambiguous answer, affecting to consider it as a mere evasion.
