With her exquisite features, oval face, and somewhat fantastical head-dress, anything more lovely could not be conceived; and the Roman people crowded round her in undisguised admiration of "la bella monaca Inglese." Her charm of manner and her brilliant conversation will never be forgotten by those who knew her. To my mind, Mrs. Norton was the most beautiful of the three sisters.
"I shall never see you again, Signer Inglese," she said, with a sigh; "for Croppo says it is not safe, after what happened the night before last, to stay another hour. Indeed he went off yesterday, leaving me orders to follow to-day; but I went first to put your sketch-book under the bush where the donkey fell, and where you will find it."
"You're a brave one," she said, with a little laugh; "there is not another man in all Ascoli who would dare to pay me a visit without an escort of twenty soldiers. But I am too grateful for your amiability to let you run such a risk. Addio, Signer Inglese.
"Suan no hurry; shild no hurry; master no hurry: come last of all." "I tell you, Suan, I want to see him. And I am not accustomed to be kept waiting. My dear father insisted always But oh, Suan, Suan, he is dead I am almost sure of it." "Him old man quite dead enough, and big hole dug in the land for him. Very good; more good than could be. Suan no more Inglese."
He took them, turned them over, wiped his glasses, and replaced them; then examined each bar again. "Pure metal, I think, senor?" I said, smiling. "The purest, Senor Inglese," he replied with another bow. Then, placing the ingots in the balances, he recorded each one's weight as he went on, to find them, with a few grains variation more or less, six ounces each.
As for the Portuguese pilot, he being desirous to see the court, we gave him his passage, that is to say, bore his charges for his company; and to use him as an interpreter, for he understood the language of the country, and spoke good French and a little English; and, indeed, this old man was a most useful implement to us every where; for we had not been above a week at Pekin, when he came laughing: "Ah, Seignior Inglese," said he, "I have something to tell you, will make your heart glad."
And as Maurice had set a limit to his sinning his insincerity to Hermione, his betrayal of her complete trust in him, nothing more so Salvatore now, while he sat at meat with the Inglese, mentally put a limit to his own complaisance, a complaisance which had been born of his intense avarice. To-day he would get all he could out of the Inglese money, food, wine, a donkey who knew what?
The Venosta ran on in praise of Paris and the Parisians; of Louvier and his soiree and the pistachio ice; of the Americans, and a certain creme de maraschino which she hoped the Signor Inglese had not failed to taste, the creme de maraschino led her thoughts back to Italy. Then she grew mournful. How she missed the native beau ciel!
"Have you ever dined with a cardinal?" he asked. "No, Signorino," that patient sufferer replied. "Well, I'm in the very dickens of a quandary son' proprio nel dickens d'un imbarazzo." he informed her. "Dickens ?" she repeated. "Si Dickens, Carlo, celebre autore inglese. Why not?" he asked. Marietta gazed with long-suffering eyes at the horizon.
It has been stated to me, as coming from the most experienced pilot of our haven, that your lugger has not altogether the appearance of a vessel of the Inglese, while she has many that belong to the corsairs of France; and a prudent caution imposes on me the office of making certain of your nation.
