What are you giving for it?" "Certina, mostly." Dr. Surtaine looked at him sharply, but the Italian's face was innocent of any sardonic expression. "As well that as anything," muttered its proprietor. "By the way, you might get testimonials from any of 'em that get well. Can you find O'Farrell?" "Yes, sir." "Tell him I want to see him at my office at two o'clock." "Ver' good.
But he was known to detest the Italian's music before he started heavenward: his taste must then have grown en route. But he was a good-hearted man, and, though he would not delay for his own amusement, he could not refuse to stop when fellow-pilgrims asked him for assistance.
He was to be lured to the house in Horace Street, and to leave it as a lunatic in charge of a doctor and keepers. But Macari ruined the plot. He was in love with Pauline, and Anthony had spoken contemptuously of such a match for his sister. A few insolent words at the house in Horace Street, and the passionate Italian's knife had found its way into the young man's heart.
Plenty of other lads might no doubt be had on as reasonable terms as Lenny Fairfield; but the moment Lenny presumed to baffle the Italian's designs upon him, the special acquisition, of Lenny became of paramount importance in the eyes of Signor Riccabocca.
Then he turned to his slim young wife, who with the boy was standing behind him, and presented her to the old housekeeper: "The dearest treasure that I won in Italy! I commend her to your love." Frau Schimmel raised the beautiful Italian's hand to her lips and lifted the little boy and hugged him.
A few amongst them the Emperor were aware of the meaning of the red net about the Italian's neck it shone so frequently through the smoke and dust of hourly conflict as to have become a subject of general observation yet in the common opinion he was only the lady's knight; and his battle cry, For Christ and Irene Now! did but confirm the opinion.
Perceiving it, and not thinking of his own danger, Francesco gave him a push, and losing his balance the captain fell over the edge, a distance of sixty feet, upon the jagged rocks beneath. But not alone! Still retaining his fierce clutch upon the Italian's throat, the murderer, too, fell with him, and both were stretched in an instant, mangled and lifeless, at the bottom of the precipice.
Did you see him right in the path Robert Redmayne?" But the other only stared at Giuseppe and peered forward. "I saw nothing," he said; whereupon like lightning, the Italian's manner changed. His concern vanished and he laughed aloud. "What a fool what a fool am I! It was the shadow of the shrine!" "You've got the red man on your nerves, I guess. I don't blame you. What did you think you saw?"
The theatre was closed for a week; and when it reopened, so great was the magnificent Italian's power over the audience that, though they came prepared to condemn, they received her with the loudest demonstration of applause.
Nothing, to speak truth, can exceed the agreeableness of a well-bred Italian's address when speaking to a lady, whom they alone know how to flatter, so as to retain her dignity, and not lose their own; respectful, yet tender; attentive, not officious; the politeness of a man of fashion here is true politeness, free from all affectation, and honestly expressive of what he really feels, a true value for the person spoken to, without the smallest desire of shining himself; equally removed from foppery on one side, or indifference on the other.
