Gustavo had been hanging about the gate looking anxiously up the road as if he expected something to happen. His brow cleared suddenly as a boy on a bicycle appeared in the distance. The boy whirled into the court and dismounted; glancing dubiously from one to the other of the group, he finally presented his telegram to Gustavo, who passed it on to Nannie.
'The omnibus? Tony stared. 'Oh! he laughed shortly. 'I was just joking, Gustavo. Gustavo bowed and turned down the corridor; there was a look on Tony's face that did not encourage confidences. He had not gone half a dozen steps, however, when the door opened again and Tony called him back.
But saner second thoughts prevailed; he decided to postpone the reunion until he should have changed from the picturesque costume of Tony to the soberer garb of Jerry Junior. He skirted the dining-room by a wide detour, and entered the courtyard at the side. Gustavo, who for the last hour and a half had been alertly watchful of four entrances at once, pounced upon him and drew him to a corner.
And if Bellini wanted to adopt him, treat him as his son indeed, kissing him on the cheek when he came back just from a day's visit to Mestre, whose business was it? Oho! Besides that, his name isn't Giorgione it is Giorgio Barbarelli. And didn't this Giorgio Barbarelli, and Tiziano from Cadore, and Espero Carbonne, and that Gustavo from Nuremberg, and the others paint most of Gian's pictures?
'Scusi, signorina. You you acquaint wif him? 'Yes, certainly. I have known him for six years. Don't forget to deliver the note; it's important. They raised their parasols and departed, while Gustavo stood in the gateway bowing. The motion was purely mechanical; his thoughts were labouring elsewhere.
'I'm sorry that the Hotel du Lac has guests that use such language; it's very shocking. 'Si, signorina. 'By the way, Gustavo, how does it happen that that young American man who left last week is still here? Gustavo nearly dropped the eggs. 'I just saw him in the garden with a book I am sure it was the same young man. What is he doing all this time in Valedolmo?
The plot was carried out to the letter. When Huerta put Gustavo Madero under arrest, still sitting at the table where Huerta had been his guest, Huerta sought to palliate his action by claiming that Gustavo Madero had tried to poison him by putting "knock-out" drops into Huerta's after-dinner brandy.
I hope she doesn't spend her time chasing over the map of Europe making appointments with you to meet her in unheard of little mountain villages where the only approach to Christian reading matter is a Paris Herald four days old, and then doesn't turn up to keep her appointments? Gustavo blinked. His supple back achieved another bow. 'Sank you, he murmured.
The young man raised his head and eyed his companion gloomily. 'Gustavo, have you a sister? 'A sister? Gustavo's manner was uncomprehending but patient. 'Si, signore, I have eight sister. 'Eight! Merciful saints. How do you manage to be so cheerful? 'Tree is married, signore, one uvver is betrofed, one is in a convent, one is dead, and two is babies.
'You mean to tell me that you had an American family up your sleeve all this time and never said a word about it? His tone was stern. 'Scusi, signore, I have not known zat you have ze plaisir of zer acquaintance. 'The pleasure of their acquaintance! Good heavens, Gustavo, when one shipwrecked man meets another shipwrecked man on a desert island must they be introduced before they can speak?
