'Was the wound serious? asked Edith, who had turned pale. 'They were anxious at first. Now he's out of danger. But, poor chap, I'm afraid he won't be able to move for a good while. His leg is broken. I hear he's got to be kept lying down two or three months. 'Qu'est ce qu'il y a, Edith? asked Landi, who joined her. 'I've just heard some bad news, she said, 'but don't speak about it.
'Than you would after hours with Landi, or Bruce, or Byrne Fraser, or young Coniston, suggested Edith. 'That's what I mean. He's difficult to talk to. 'I have no doubt you're right, said Edith. 'Well, she generally is, said Bruce. 'The only thing is she's so infernally deep sometimes, she sees things in people that nobody else would suspect. Oh, you do, you know!
'I don't know why, but Spain seems always to remind me of something ridiculous. Onions or guitars. 'Well, I shouldn't mind her nearly so much as anyone else. 'You don't mind her, said Landi. 'Vous savez qu'il ne l'epouse pas? What would you dislike him to do most? 'I think I couldn't bear anyone else to take my place exactly, admitted Edith.
Well, my advice is this. If he has a secret alliance with Spain, you should assume the Balkan attitude. 'Good gracious! What's that? 'We're talking politics, said Landi, across the table. 'Politics, and geography! Fancy, Meetchel, Mrs Ottley doesn't know anything about the Balkans! 'Ha, very good, said Mitchell. 'Capital. What a fellow you are! He gave his hearty, clubbable laugh.
It was not in her to tromper her husband while pretending to be a devoted wife, and it was equally unlike Aylmer to be a false friend. Landi was too much of a man of the world to have been particularly shocked, even if he had known they had both deceived Bruce. Privately, for Edith's own sake he almost wished they had.
Many scions of the old ejected families recovered their authority in the subject towns. We hear again of the Scotti at Piacenza, the Rossi and Correggi at Parma, the Benzoni at Crema, the Rusconi at Como, the Soardi and Colleoni at Bergamo, the Landi at Bobbio, the Cavalcabò at Cremona.
How Madame Frabelle loves Bruce! he went on, watching her. 'Really, Landi, I assure you you're occasionally as mistaken as she is. And she thinks I'm in love with our host. 'That's because elle voit double. I don't. 'What makes you think.... 'I read between the lines, my dear between the lines on Madame Frabelle's face. 'She hasn't any.
"Why," he explained, not only to me but to others whose brows had also been knit, "first 'Plac' stands for Placentia where he will meet his doom; and then it contains the initials of the four chief movers in this undertaking Pallavicini, Landi, Anguissola, and Confalonieri." "You force the omen to come true when you give me a leader's rank in this affair," said I.
"The Worlds" of DONI, and the numerous whimsical works of ORTENSIO LANDI, and the "Circe" of GELLI, of which we have more than one English translation, which, under their fantastic inventions, cover the most profound philosophical views, have been considered the precursors of the finer genius of "The Persian Letters," that fertile mother of a numerous progeny, of D'Argens and others.
I say this for your and his own good. Don't be angry with him or anybody. Never think me wanting in gratitude and friendship. 'Truly, I am still your affectionate friend, What a strange letter. How like her to lay down the law about Bruce! It irritated Edith a little, also it made the future seem harder. About four o'clock Landi called unexpectedly.
