In this place we met Mr Lange, and the king, whose name was A. Madocho Lomi Djara, attended by many of the principal people. We told them that we had in the boat goods of various kinds, which we proposed to barter for such refreshments as they would give us in exchange, and desired leave to bring them on shore; which being granted, they were brought ashore accordingly.
"Had he made no attempt, then, to discover Nanina?" "Oh, yes! He had searched for her himself, and had set others searching for her, but to no purpose. Four days of perpetual disappointment had been enough to bring him to his senses. Luca Lomi had written him a peace-making letter, asking what harm he or his daughter had done, even supposing Father Rocco was to blame.
Maddalena Lomi had met him in the street, and had looked resignedly away from him, as if she expected him to pass her. He was silent and sentimental enough at first, and shockingly sulky and savage with the priest " "I wonder Father Rocco ventured within his reach." "Father Rocco is not a man to be daunted or defeated by anybody, I can tell you.
Having looked over this extraordinary statement, the doctor addressed himself again to Luca Lomi. "I agree with you," he said, "that no useful end is to be gained now by mentioning your brother's conduct in public always provided, however, that his ecclesiastical superiors do their duty.
Luca Lomi himself opened the door. He drew Father Rocco hurriedly into the studio toward a single lamp burning on a stand near the partition between the two rooms. "Have you heard anything of our poor child?" he asked. "Tell me the truth! tell me the truth at once!" "Hush! compose yourself. I have heard," said Father Rocco, in low, mournful tones.
Maddalena Lomi and I are as nearly as possible the same height, I hear the difference between us being that I have a good figure and she has a bad one. I have offered to sit, through a friend who is employed in the studio.
A thread-paper of a girl like that, who has no manner, no talk, no intelligence; who has nothing to recommend her but an awkward, babyish prettiness! Dangerous to me? No, no! If there is danger at all, I have to dread it from the sculptor's daughter. I don't mind confessing that I am anxious to see Maddalena Lomi. But as for Nanina, she will simply be of use to me.
After the first shock of the bereavement was over, Luca Lomi declared that it would be impossible for him to work in his studio again for some time to come at least after the death of the beloved daughter, with whom every corner of it was now so sadly and closely associated.
"Are you going to the studio to-day?" Some of the color that Nanina's cheeks wanted began to steal over them as she answered "Yes." "Don't forget my message, darling. And if Master Luca Lomi asks where I live, answer that you are ready to deliver a letter to me; but that you are forbidden to enter into any particulars at first about who I am, or where I live."
The first, as I said, that Fabio was really in love with the girl the second, that Maddalena Lomi was really in love with him. You may suppose I looked at her attentively while the disturbance was going on, and while nobody's notice was directed on me. All women are vain, I know, but vanity never blinded my eyes. I saw directly that I had but one superiority over her my figure.
