The odd note in her voice brought that faithful giant up the stairs, two steps at a time; the beams of the house, even the marble steps of the stair, seemed to quiver under his tread. She had him try the door. He agreed that it was bolted. "Can you break it in?" she queried. Guntello laughed. "Without half trying, little Mistress," he replied. Brinnaria's voice came hard and sharp.
"Throw him out, Guntello," said Brinnaria. When Guntello returned he cheerfully inquired, with the easy assurance of an indulged favorite. "Shall I kill Tranio, Mistress?" "No!" said Brinnaria viciously. "I wouldn't have a toad killed on the word of that contemptible scoundrel. Give Tranio a moderate beating and hand him over to Olynthides to be sold at auction without a character."
"You in that room!" she called, "unbolt that door and come out, or it will be the worse for you. I'll count ten and then order the door burst open." She began to count. She heard the bolt shot back. She nodded to Guntello. He gave the door a push. Before them stood Calvaster, his attitude and countenance expressing cringing cowardice, cloaked by ill-assumed effrontery.
And they'll be after me the moment they run over the lists and find no one else is in town." She stood a moment, considering, then she called Guntello, and a lean Caledonian slave called Intinco.
That faithful Goth, stil huge, mighty and terrific, came, mild as a pet bulldog. "Go kill him!" she commanded. "Certainly, Little Mistress," he acquiesced, "but whom am I to kill?" She explained. Guntello, always parsimonious, asked a moderate sum for the purchase of a sabre and for road-money. She gave him ten times as much.
Calvaster kept his lips pressed tight together. "March him downstairs, Guntello," Brinnaria commanded. Calvaster winced and made. as if to dodge. Big as he was Guntello was wonderfully quick. In a flash he had the intruder by the neck. Utterly helpless Calvaster was marched down the stairs. In the courtyard Brinnaria had brought before her the half dozen slaves who had charge of the empty house.
