I'll run and tell him, Lu;" and, without waiting for a reply, he sprang up and went. "What's he going to tell?" asked the girl who had brought the news about Signor Foresti. "That's our private affair," replied Lulu, coloring. "Oh! is it indeed?" and she walked off with an offended air. Lulu was too much agitated by contending emotions to care whether she had given offence or not.
Each of the two had a talk with Lulu before she went to bed that night, using all their powers of argument and persuasion; but in vain: she stubbornly persisted in her resolve never again to be taught by Signor Foresti. Violet was almost in despair. She was alone with the little girl in her dressing-room.
"What do you say, grandpa, grandma, and mamma," she wound up, "shall we insist on her taking music-lessons of Signor Foresti?" "Yes," said Mr.
Here, too, the most affecting reunions of long-severed kindred and friends took place; their relatives hastened hither to embrace them. Foresti used to relate many anecdotes illustrative of the sympathy and respect felt and manifested by strangers during this interlude between prison and exile. One deserves record here.
Foresti was born at Conselice in the Ferrarese. Few American travellers linger in Ferrara. Fresh from the more imposing attractions of Florence or Venice, this ancient Italian city offers little in comparison to detain the eager pilgrim; and yet to one cognizant of its history and alive to imaginative associations, this neglect might increase the charm of a brief sojourn.
In Crespino, in the province of Rovigo, in the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom, Foresti was made Praetor under the Emperor's warrant.
"Lulu's not coming home with us to-night; she's going to board at Oakdale, she says," sobbed Grace. "Is that so? What for?" asked Max, looking at Lulu. "Because Grandpa Dinsmore says I must, if I won't take lessons of Signor Foresti." It was news to Evelyn, Rose, and Walter as well as to Max, they having heard nothing of it before.
"I know the consequences of giving up and taking lessons again from Signor Foresti would be very unpleasant," she retorted. "Leave the room!" he commanded, with a stamp of the foot that sent Lulu's heart up into her throat, though she tried to appear perfectly calm and unconcerned as she silently rose and obeyed the order.
Pellico, through an indulgent guard, sent Foresti verses on his birthday; Maronchelli sounded on the wall the intimation of his continued existence after his leg was amputated; and when marshalled for a walk or convened on Sunday in the chapel, the devoted band had the melancholy satisfaction of beholding each other, though the different groups were not permitted to communicate.
As Hillard had written him the night before, he was expected. He had been a pupil of Foresti's, and the veteran was glad to see him. Merrihew saw some interesting bouts, and at length Foresti prevailed upon Hillard to don the mask against an old pupil, a physician who had formerly been amateur champion of Italy.
