'Don't let it bother you, Dad; I assure you I won't do anything of the sort. I should think it my duty to learn the subjunctive mood, and that is impossible. Gustavo came hurrying back with a tray. He arranged the glasses, the ice, the sugar, the cakes, with hovering, elaborate obsequiousness. The signorina examined the ice doubtfully, then with approval. 'It's exactly right to-day, Gustavo!
The wall as Gustavo had pointed out was broken; it was owing to this fact that he had been so easily able to climb it. Now, as he stealthily turned, preparing to re-descend in the direction whence he had come, the loose stone beneath his foot slipped and he slipped with it. Five startled pairs of eyes were turned in his direction.
The young steers that had been driven in for the roasting-pits were trampling uneasily about the little corral where they had been put to fatten; and Gustavo walked with his head thrown back upon his shoulders that he might read that open page which was the sky, and to any anxious ones who asked, he had but one answer and that a comforting one: "The day will be a day of sunshine, with linnets singing in the trees and the smallest breeze to cool the cheek."
You mustn't say that; it is very, very bad. Nice men don't say it. Gustavo held his ground. 'Si, signorina, zat yong American gentleman say it dam slow, no divertimento. 'He's just about right, Gustavo, Mr. Wilder broke in. 'The next time a young American gentleman blunders into the Hotel du Lac you send him around to me. 'Si, signore.

'But, signore, you have paid for your ticket. 'True, Gustavo, but there is no law compelling me to use it. To tell the truth I find that I am fonder of Valedolmo than I had supposed.
Apparently she already knew or divined what it was that was disgraceful, but the accusation did not appear to bother her much. Mr. Wilder proceeded grumblingly. 'It's bad enough with those five deluded officers, but they walked into the trap with their eyes open and it's their own affair. But look at Gustavo; he can scarcely carry a dish without breaking it when you are watching him.
The young man rose, removed the sugar bowl, and sauntered on toward the road. Gustavo pocketed the notes and gazed after him. 'Dio mio, he murmured as he set about gathering up the glasses, 'zese Americans! At the gate the young man paused to light another cigarette. 'Addio, Gustavo, he called over his shoulder, 'don't forget the earrings!
Neither of the two prisoners ever had a chance to defend themselves against these charges, for Gustavo Madero on the night following his arrest was shot to death by a squad of soldiers in the garden of the Citadel, and President Madero met a similar fate a few nights afterward.
Ver' helful; ver' diverting. I find guide. 'You needn't bother. Your guide would be Italian, and it's too much of a strain to talk to a man all day in dumb show. He folded his arms with a weary sigh. 'A week of Valedolmo! An eternity! Gustavo echoed the sigh. Though he did not entirely comprehend the trouble, still he was of a generously sympathetic nature.
