The Adjutant took from his pocket a silver watch worth about ten crowns, and noticing that Fortunato's eyes sparkled at the sight of it, said, holding the watch by the end; of its steel chain: "Rascal! you would like to have such a watch as that hung around your neck, wouldn't you, and to walk in the streets of Porto-Vecchio proud as a peacock?
She had just discovered the watch-chain, the end of which was hanging out of Fortunato's jacket. "Who gave you that watch?" demanded she in a severe tone. "My cousin, the Adjutant." Falcone seized the watch and smashed it in a thousand pieces against a rock. "Wife," said he, "is this my child?" Giuseppa's cheeks turned a brick-red. "What are you saying, Mateo? Do you know to whom you speak?"
"Very well, this child is the first of his race to commit treason." Fortunato's sobs and gasps redoubled as Falcone kept his lynx-eyes upon him. Then he struck the earth with his gun-stock, shouldered the weapon, and turned in the direction of the mâquis, calling to Fortunato to follow. The boy obeyed. Giuseppa hastened after Mateo and seized his arm.
