"Would that your words were true, signor!" "What a heavy sigh, Julio. You excite my fears. Is your master ill?" The servant felt the importance of self-control, if he would not arouse the gentleman's suspicions. He therefore said, in a careless manner: "Nothing is the matter, signor. My master is very well, and to-day is in a good humor.
His head and limbs fell as though he had been struck by death; but the heaving of the chest and the deep scarlet of the cheeks proved that he was in a heavy sleep. Simon quietly contemplated him for a while longer with a smile of satisfaction. Then he arose, approached his servant, shook him violently, and cried out: "Julio, Julio, wake up!" Julio did not stir.
Chico is in superb health; he is I tell you every time a revelation in the animal kingdom. More than this, he is a bird of heart; he feels for me, feels intensely, in this dark time. Only yesterday he bit old Julio severely; I am persuaded it was his love for me that prompted the act. Julio is a Spaniard of the Spaniards, the slave of Concepcion.
ROMANO. He, my lord, is simply a painter, by name Julio Romano, who lives by theft and counterfeit of Nature's charms. FIESCO. Give me your hand, Romano! I love the mistress of your soul with a holy fire. Art is the right hand of Nature. The latter only gave us being, but 'twas the former made us men. What are the subjects of your labor? ROMANO. Scenes from the heroic ages of antiquity.
He had surprised Marguerite motionless behind them, pallid with surprise, and fixing her gaze earnestly on the soldier who was separating himself from her. Don Marcelo read in her eyes admiration, love, all of the past that was suddenly surging up in her memory. Poor woman! . . . He felt for her a paternal affection as though she were the wife of Julio.
"From Africa from a blind woman," answered Geronimo, almost unintelligibly. "In Africa? And the woman's name?" said Julio, beside himself with impatience. "Mostajo. Teresa Mostajo!" "Teresa Mostajo! You are then the liberator of my poor blind mother!" "Then you will spare my life! God of mercy, I thank thee, there is still hope!" But Julio heeded not the words of the young man.
At the station entrance, while she was kissing her brother for the last time, she had an encounter, a great surprise. "He" had approached, also clad as an artillery officer, but alone, having to entrust his valise to a good-natured man from the crowd. Julio shot her a questioning look. Who was "he"? He suspected, but feigned ignorance, as though fearing to learn the truth.
Stab Bernardo, and throw him into the sewer above the body of Geronimo." "Oh, signor, murder Bernardo!" exclaimed Julio, in horror. "And do you suppose that he would not defend himself? that he would not give the alarm? In that case, your servant would be recognized, and thus they would put them on the track of the criminals. Your mind wanders."
Julio drew his knife from the scabbard and stammered, in a voice indistinct from intoxication: "Wait awhile, signor. Wine, good wine has dulled my senses. You want to kill me? It would be very fortunate for one of us to die here the executioner would have less work. But which of us must first render our account before the supreme tribunal, my knife and your dagger will decide. I am ready."
In vain his Romantica transfigured by maternity, improved all opportunities for putting her child in his way, calling him loudly by name: "Julio . . . Julio!" "They want that brat of a singing gringo, that carrot top with a face like a skinned kid to be my grandson? . . . I prefer Celedonio's."
