Then, making him hold his head down, and puffing harder than ever, he cropped his thin hair, and managed to make a tolerably respectable tonsure. But the whole operation had consumed half an hour at the least, and Del Ferice was trembling still. Temistocle thrust the clothes into his bag. "My watch!" objected the unfortunate man, "and my pearl studs give them to me what?
"No, I had not seen you: of course I did not want to implicate you. I said I would show them the papers tomorrow at the same hour." "And then you came to see me," said Del Ferice. "That was very rash. You might have seriously compromised yourself. I would have come if you had sent for me." "But they said you had gone to Naples.
She had a sudden vision of new trouble. "Yes. Why not? I will go to him and tell him that I would rather wind up my son's business with him, as our former relations were not of a nature to make transactions of mutual profit either fitting or even permissible between any of our family and Ugo Del Ferice." "For Heaven's sake, Giovanni, do not do that." "And why not?"
He was surprised at her evident distress. "For my sake, then do not quarrel with Del Ferice it was different then, in the old days. I could not bear it now " she stopped, and her lower lip trembled a little. "Do you love me better than you did then, Corona?" "So much better I cannot tell you." She touched his hand with hers and her dark eyes were a little veiled as they met his.
You intend to impose another and probably a larger piece of work on me, which I shall be obliged to undertake on the same terms as before, because if I do not accept it, it is in your power to ruin me at once. And this state of things may go on for years. That is the enviable position of Andrea Contini and Company." Del Ferice assumed an air of injured dignity.
Society saw, and speculated, and gossiped, after its fashion; but its gossip was more subdued than of yore, for men began to ask who was safe, since the harmless Del Ferice had been proscribed. Old Saracinesca said little.
The hurrying crowd of social life filled up the place occupied by old Astrardente and the beautiful Duchessa, and they were soon forgotten, for they had not had many intimate friends. On the last night of Carnival, Del Ferice appeared once more.
If, as you say, any other bank would do as much, then let him go to another bank. If he owes Del Ferice money at the present moment, we will pay it for him." "You forget that he has bought the buildings he is now finishing, from Del Ferice, on a mortgage." Giovanni laughed a little. "How you have learned to talk about mortgages and deeds and all sorts of business!" he exclaimed.
Del Ferice remained some time in conversation with Donna Tullia. The magnitude of the scheme fascinated her, and instead of thinking of breaking her promise to Ugo as she had intended doing, she so far fell under his influence as to name the wedding-day, Easter Monday, they agreed, would exactly suit them and their plans.
Instead of crushing him to the ground as she had expected, the letter seemed to fill him with boundless delight. He paced the room in wild excitement, chattering like a madman. In spite of herself, however, her own spirits rose, and her anger against Del Ferice softened. All was perhaps not lost who could fathom the intricacy of his great schemes?
