'You have every claim, my good soul, to resent a reflection cast upon your husband, he began. 'I may even say that I respect you for speaking so warmly in his defence. At the same time, remember, that I am bound, in such a serious matter as this, to tell you what is really in my mind. I can have no intention of offending you, seeing that I am a total stranger to you and to Mr. Ferrari.
How could he compel this haughty and obstinate young woman to listen to him? Then an idea came to him. "If Miss Jacobi is so unapproachable," he said quietly, "perhaps the Countess Ferrari will not refuse to listen to me?" Leah stopped suddenly as though she had been shot, and her face grew white. "What do you mean? How dare you call me that do you want to kill me!"
Inside the building they were led through a long corridor, and thence to a room which they were motioned to enter. Inside stood a tall, stout man attired in full military uniform. "General Ferrari, I guess," Chester whispered to his friend. Hal nodded in assent. It was indeed General Ferrari, and he came forward. "What have we here?" he demanded, addressing the officer.
The weapons were now loaded and the marquis, looking about him with a cheerful business-like air, remarked: "I think we may now place our men?" This suggestion agreed to, Ferrari left his place near the tree against which he had in part inclined as though fatigued, and advanced to the spot his seconds pointed out to him.

"We'll go along, and who knows, perhaps we may have a chance to help Uncle John, too." "Good!" agreed Chester. "What do you say, colonel?"
And yet the works of few really great painters and among the really great we place Ferrari leave upon the mind a more distressing sense of imperfection. There is stuff enough of thought and vigor and imagination to make a dozen artists. And yet we turn away disappointed from the crowded, dazzling, stupefying wilderness of forms and faces on these mighty walls.
Ferrari, unless you have some more extraordinary news for me, I think I shall wish you good-morning too. 'I can provide you with proof, sir if that is all you want, said Mrs. Ferrari, with great dignity. 'I only wish to know, first, whether the law justifies me in doing it.
"You are such an old friend of the family, conte, that perhaps you will not mind sitting at the head of the table?" "Tropp' onore, signora!" I answered, bowing gallantly, as I at once resumed my rightful place at my own table, Ferrari placing himself on my right hand, Nina on my left.
Look again at Gaudenzio Ferrari, or the "Danse des Paysans," by Holbein, to which I ventured to call attention in the Universal Review.
