"The fact is," said old Orsola, after a few moments of rapid reflection as to the expediency of telling her trouble to the porter, and a decision prompted by the good-natured manner of the man, and by the poor woman's extreme need of some one to tell her trouble to, "the fact is, that I wanted to ask the advice of the Signor Marchesino about a young friend of mine, the Signora Paolina Foscarelli, who went out of the city early this morning to go to St.
"Jacopo and Paolina Foscarelli, who lived in the little house at the corner of the Campo di San Pietro and Paolo," rejoined the monk, speaking in a dreamy far-away kind of manner. "I have truly heard that they lived there," said she; "but I was only four years old when they died, one very soon after the other, and since that I have lived with a friend of my mother's, Signora Steno."
But I don't quite see how the behaviour of the prima donna on the stage could have had anything to do with the circumstance of the Marchese Ludovico's engagement to the Signorina Foscarelli," said the lawyer, with the most demure innocence of manner. "You don't see it, Signor Dottore. Perhaps you were not in the theatre that night. If you had been you would have seen it fast enough.
"And yet, you know, you were up and well yesterday morning, when you were with the young girl who came to copy the mosaics, you know, on the scaffolding in the church?" said the lawyer. "Yes; I was with the girl Paolina Foscarelli, a Venetian on the scaffolding. Was it yesterday?" "Yesterday it was that she was here. Yesterday morning.
At the same time, that such a person as this Paolina Foscarelli should pass out of the city at such an hour in the morning, was sufficiently out of the ordinary course of things to make it very unlikely that it should not be remembered by the officials.
Why naturally, you know But in what direction eh? do the suspicions that is, the opinions you, yourself, Signor Giovacchino who do you think now could have done the deed?" said the Marchese, finishing his sentence with an apparent effort. "My notion is," said the lawyer, speaking strongly and distinctly, "that the murder was committed by the Venetian girl, Paolina Foscarelli.
The girl's name was Paolina Foscarelli. It is probable that in due time and season the reader may become better acquainted with Paolina.
It is quite certain that Paolina, if the question, whether it was in anywise on the cards that the Marchese Ludovico di Castelmare had conceived, or was likely to conceive, any project of marrying her, Paolina Foscarelli, had suggested itself, or had been suggested, to her at any time during those eight months, would at once have replied to her own heart or to any other person, that such an idea was utterly preposterous and out of the question.
"The lady is the Signorina Paolina Foscarelli, a Venetian artist sent here to make copies of some of our mosaics, and recommended to my uncle the Marchese Lamberto." "With whom you had no acquaintance previous to her bringing that recommendation?" "None whatever." "But since that time you have become intimate with her?" "It is true." "Signor Marchese, this is a most lamentable and unhappy affair.
"The child of Jacopo and Paolina Foscarelli," said the monk, in the same dreamy tone, and pressing his thin emaciated hands before his eyes as he spoke; "and you have come here to find me?" "Nay, father, not to find you. I knew not that the padre guardiano of St. Apollinare was a Venetian. I came only to copy these pictures for my employer." "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful are the ways of God!
