Long after Andrea de Ferrara's time, the Scotch swords were famous for their temper; Judge Marshal Fatten, who accompanied the Protector's expedition into Scotland in 1547, observing that "the Scots came with swords all broad and thin, of exceeding good temper, and universally so made to slice that I never saw none so good, so I think it hard to devise a better."
Decidedly the situation was a delicate one; the wrong kind of interference the tactless kind might merely render it worse. It would be awfully difficult, if not impossible, to explain to Myra. But was she to be allowed to continue these visits? Should he have permitted her to enter Ferrara's rooms? He reflected that he had no right to question her movements.
Vin Ferrara's dark eyes gleamed, for agua blanco means "white water" in the Spanish tongue. The Terminal Fish Company's new coolers were yawning for fish when the first blueback run of commercial size showed off Gray Rock and the Ballenas. All the Squitty boats went out as soon as the salmon came.
The clocks had been chiming the quarter after eleven as he had entered Antony Ferrara's chambers, and some had not finished their chimes when his son, choking, calling wildly upon Heaven to aid him, had fallen in the midst of crowding, obscene things, and, in the instant of his fall, had found the room clear of the waving antennæ, the beady eyes, and the beetle shapes.
"Marston," he said to the man who presently came, "you must be very tired, but Dr. Cairn will be here within an hour. Tell him that I have gone to Sir Michael Ferrara's." "But it's after twelve o'clock, sir!" "I know it is; nevertheless I am going." "Very good, sir. You will wait there for the Doctor?" "Exactly, Marston. Good-night!" "Good-night, sir." Robert Cairn went out into Half-Moon Street.
Aye, Prince, you have a brother Orazio. The Duke he'll scourge you. Marcello. Nay, the second, sir, Who, like an envious river, flows between Your footsteps and Ferrara's throne.... Orazio.
He declared that the remission of Ferrara's tribute would, if paid for in money, require not less than two hundred thousand ducats, and that the officials of the chancellery had demanded between five and six thousand ducats merely for preparing the bulls.
A taxi-cab was passing at that moment, and he hailed it, giving Sir Michael Ferrara's address. He could scarcely trust himself to think, but frightful possibilities presented themselves to him, repel them how he might. London seemed to grow dark, overshadowed, as once he had seen a Thames backwater grow. He shuddered, as though from a physical chill.
But when the cab ahead, having passed the park, continued on past the lane in which the house was situated, he began to search for some other solution to the problem of Ferrara's destination. Suddenly he saw that the cab ahead had stopped. The driver of his own cab without slackening speed, pursued his way. Cairn crouched down upon the floor, fearful of being observed.
"The situation of Ferrara's hiding-place?" cried his son, excitedly. "I understand! Of course; you are right, sir." "I will leave the inquiry in your hands, Rob. Unfortunately other duties call me." Robert Cairn entered a photographer's shop in Baker Street. "You recently arranged to do views of some houses in the West End for a gentleman?" he said to the girl in charge.
