What does anything matter now that you are safe!" For fully half an hour they sat talking in this wise, both knowing that the situation could not last, but neither willing to speak the word which must end it. Gouache, indeed, was in a twofold difficulty.
"That is the third time within the last few days that I have been compared to a sphynx by you or Gouache. It lacks originality in the end." "I was not thinking of being original. I was too much interested. Your riddle is the problem of my life." "The resemblance ceases there. I cannot eat you up if you do not guess the answer or if you do not take my advice.
Gouache had heard the gossip, and had immediately made a lively sketch on the back of a half-finished picture, representing Donna Tullia, in her bridal dress, leaning upon the arm of Del Ferice, who was arrayed in a capuchin's cowl, and underneath, with his brush, he scrawled a legend, "Finis coronat opus." It was nearly six o'clock in the afternoon of the 23d of September.
Then we will go back to first principles. A garret to live in, bread and salad for dinner. Of course what do you expect? That need not prevent us from living in a palace as long as we can." Thereupon Anastase Gouache hummed a very lively little song as he squeezed a few colours from the tubes. Orsino's face betrayed his discontentment. "I was not in earnest," he said.
He spoke in Italian, with a foreign accent, but in a tone of voice and with a manner which proclaimed him a gentleman. There was a look of half comic discomfiture in his face that amused Gouache, who carefully extracted the steel from the wound, and offered to help his prisoner to his feet. The latter, however, found it hard to stand.
"Willingly," answered the other, looking instinctively at his watch, to be sure that he had time to spare. Sant' Ilario walked a few yards up the street, before speaking, Gouache keeping close to his side. Then both stopped, and Giovanni turned sharply round and faced his enemy. "It is unnecessary to enter into any explanations, Monsieur Gouache," he said.
We passed the castle on its rocky island, with the domed church which has been so often painted in gouache pictures through the last two centuries, and soon after noon we came to Casamicciola. Casamicciola is a village on the north side of the island, in its centre, where the visitors to the mineral baths of Ischia chiefly congregate.
"Good heavens, Gouache!" cried Del Ferice, starting back, as he caught sight of the artist's grey trousers and yellow gaiters. "What is the meaning of this comedy?" "What?" asked Gouache, coolly. Then, glancing at his legs, he answered, "Oh, nothing. I have turned Zouave that is all. Will you sit down, Donna Tullia? I was waiting for you."
Come out to the Villa and look at those young thoroughbreds, and afterwards we will drop in at the club before dinner. Then there is that reception at the old Principessa Befana's to-night, and the Duchessa della Seecatura is also at home. That is my life, Monsieur Gouache. There you have the question, the answer and the result. Admit that it is not gay."
This resulted in a lively discussion of Garibaldi's probable movements, which lasted several minutes. Corona in the meantime had taken Orsino back to his nurse, and had bidden her maid let her know when the visitor in the drawing-room was gone. The woman went to the hall, and when Giovanni rang the bell, returned to inform her mistress of the fact, supposing that Gouache would go at once.
