'I believe I was deceiving myself, she went on. 'I've got so accustomed to living this sort of half life I've become almost abrutie, as you would say. I didn't realise how much I cared for him. Now I know I always adored him. 'But you were quite contented. 'Because I made myself so; because I resolved to be satisfied. But, after all, there's something in what he says, Landi.
He'd find somebody someone who would look after him, perhaps, and make him quite happy and comfortable. You're shocked? 'Ca ne m'etonne pas. It's the reaction, said Landi, nodding. 'How wonderful of you to understand! I haven't seen him again, you know. I've just been thinking. In fact, I'm surprised at myself.
'Very likely he will be now. 'And she she adores Aylmer. Will she fall in love with Valdez out of gratitude? 'C'est probable. C'est a esperer.... Enfin-mais toi, mon enfant? 'And where is Madame Frabelle? asked Landi. Edith looked at the postmark. 'Apparently she's at Liverpool, of all places; but she may be going somewhere else. I haven't got her address. She says she'll write.
All the women present imagined that he was making love to them, while each man felt that he, personally, was making love to his ideal woman. Such was the effect of Landi's music. It made the most material, even the most unmusical, remember some little romance, some tendresse, some sentiment of the past; Landi seemed to get at the soft spot in everybody's heart. All the audience looked dreamy.
Of an admirable description of the Italians, with their various pursuits and characteristics, though in a few words and with special stress laid on the Lucchese, to whom the work was dedicated, we can give only the title: Forcianae Questiones, by Ortensio Landi, Naples, 1536. Leandro Alberti is not so fruitful as might be expected in his description of the character of the different cities.
Indeed, she had begun at once laying down the law in a musical voice but with a determined manner that gave those who knew her to understand only too well that she intended to go steadily on, and certainly not to stop to breathe before the ices. Sir Tito Landi, fixing his eyeglass in his bright blue eye, took in Madame Frabelle in one long look, and smiled at her sympathetically.
Mr Mitchell belonged to an exceptionally large number of clubs and was a favourite at all. His laugh was the chief cause of his popularity there. 'Il est fou, said Landi quietly to Edith. 'Quel monde! I don't think there are half-a-dozen sane people at this table. 'Oh, Landi! 'And if there are, they shouldn't by rights be admitted into decent society.
'But, Edith, oh, remember, before, said Landi taking her hand, 'even when Bruce ran away with another woman, you couldn't bear the idea of divorce. 'I know. But I may have been wrong. Besides, I didn't care for him as I do now. And I'm older now. 'Isn't this rather sudden, my dear? 'Only because I've let myself go let myself be natural! Oh, do encourage me give me strength, Landi!
Would the world blame her so very much? That Bruce would let her take the children Landi had no doubt. He would never stand the bother of them; he wouldn't desire the responsibility; his pride might be a little hurt, but on the whole Sir Tito shrewdly suspected, as did Edith herself, that there would be a certain feeling of relief.
For Ridolfo Landi he executed a picture of Charity, which could not be more lovely than it is; and for Simone Corsi, likewise, he painted a picture of Our Lady, which was much extolled. For M. Donato Acciaiuoli, a knight of Rhodes, with whom he always maintained a particular intimacy, he executed certain little pictures that are very beautiful.
