It was easy, for instance, to accuse of weakness the amiable sentimentality of the Marquis Gustavo Cavour, who evoked Padre Cristoforo from Manzoni's Promessi Sposi to plead for his fellow friars; but there was no destroying the force, so far as it went, of Count Solaro's question, Were they Catholics, or were they not?
'Scusi, signore, I no understand. 'Just sit down, Gustavo, it makes me nervous to see you standing all the time. I can't be comfortable, you know, unless everybody else is comfortable. Now pay strict attention and see if you can grasp my meaning. Gustavo dubiously accepted the edge of the indicated chair; he wished to humour the signore's mood, however incomprehensible that mood might be.
'Ze signora and ze signorina zay come two days before zay are expect. And he was clearly aggrieved by the fact. Constance's mystification increased; she saw not the slightest connexion. 'I suppose, Gustavo, you can find them something to eat even if they did come two days before they were expected?
Constance dropped into one of the little iron chairs and bowed her head on the back and laughed. 'Perhaps you can explain? There was a touch of sharpness in Nannie's tone. 'Don't ever ask me to explain anything Gustavo says; the man is not to be believed under oath. 'But what's become of Jerry? 'Oh, he'll turn up. Constance's tone was comforting. 'Aunt Hazel, she called. Miss Hazel and Mrs.
It was close upon four of a July day, when Gustavo, his inseparable napkin floating from his arm, emerged from the cool dark doorway of the house and scanned the burning vista of tables and chairs.

An indefinable something about his manner informed Gustavo that he was privy to the entire conversation. Gustavo, a picture of guilty remorse, searched his memory for the words he had used. Why, oh why, had he not piled up adjectives? It was the opportunity of a lifetime, and he had wantonly thrown it away. But to his astonished relief the young man appeared to be bearing no malice.
Constance nodded and laughed. 'You have reason! We all know Gustavo may we go right up? The jailoress called the jailor. They talked aside; the two-franc piece was produced as evidence. The jailor with a great show of caution got out a bunch of keys and motioned them to follow.
'Sicuramente, in zat rose-colour villa wif ze cypress trees and ze terrazzo on ze lake. His daughter, la Signorina Costantina, she live wif him ver' young, ver' beautiful' Gustavo rolled his eyes and clasped his hands 'beautiful like ze angels in Paradise and she spik Italia like I spik Angleesh. Jerymn Hilliard, Jr., unfolded his arms and sat up alertly.
'You have seen ze Signorina Costantina? 'Yes, I saw her. 'And is it not as I have said, zat she is beautiful as ze holy angels? 'Yes, Gustavo, she is and just about equally remote. You may make out my bill. The waiter's face clouded. 'You do not wish to remain longer, signore? 'Can't stand it, Gustavo; it's too infernally restful.
