The little nest of talkers at Gouache's studio in the Via San Basilio was soon discovered, and proved to be harmless enough. Del Ferice was then allowed to go on his way unobserved. But the half-dozen words in which Saracinesca had described Ugo's scheme for hindering Giovanni's marriage had set the Cardinal thinking, and the Cardinal seldom wasted time in thinking in vain.
"Since it ascribes to you so much that is good, it cannot be wrong," replied Del Ferice. Donna Tullia laughed, and took his hand to descend from her carriage. Monsieur Gouache's studio was on the second floor.
Believe me, Madame, art is easier than, nature, and painting is simpler than theology." Maria Consuelo listened to Gouache's extraordinary remarks with a smile. "You are either paradoxical, or irreligious, or both," she said. "Irreligious? I, who carried a rifle at Mentana? No, Madame, I am a good Catholic." "What does that mean?" "I believe in God, and I love my wife.
I have watched you often during the last month. My advice begins with a question. Do you love her?" Gouache's first instinct was to express the annoyance he felt at this interrogation. He moved quickly and glanced sharply at Corona's velvet eyes.
"There is a charming speech. I like that better than Gouache's flattery." "And yet you admit that the portrait is like you," said Gouache. "Perhaps I flatter you, too." "Ah! I had not thought of that." "You should be more modest." "I lose myself " "Where?" "In your eyes, Madame. One, two, three, four are you sure a tiger has only four claws? Where is the creature's thumb what do you call it?
Orsino wondered what part he was expected to play in the trio, and wished himself away in spite of the interest he felt in the situation. Maria Consuelo began to talk in a careless tone which reminded him of his first meeting with her in Gouache's studio. She told Spicca that Orsino had promised her his architect as a guide in her search for a lodging.
It was therefore Gouache's intention to arrive so early as to be sure that Faustina had not yet come, and he trusted to luck to be there at the right time, for he was obliged to visit the temporary barrack of his corps before going to the church, and was also obliged to attend mass at a later hour with his battalion.
Since I am here, shall I sit for you? You might almost finish to-day." "Not so soon as that. It is Don Orsino's hour, but as he has not come, and since you are so kind by all means." "Ah! Is he punctual?" "He is probably running after those abominable dogs in pursuit of the feeble fox what they call the noble sport." Gouache's face expressed considerable disgust."
Caterina Ranucci somehow felt as though she could express her feelings in no better way than by singing the queer words to herself in her cracked old voice. Possibly she thought that the neighbours would not suspect her good fortune if they heard her favourite song. Sant' Ilario walked home from Gouache's lodgings.
His eyes were open and met hers with an expression of mingled interest and gratitude which she did not forget. Then he was carried away and she did not see him again. The Montevarchi household was conducted upon the patriarchal principle, once general in Rome, and not quite abandoned even now, twenty years later than the date of Gouache's accident.
