To her father in his distress and anxiety Luigi seemed like a guardian angel, and he called to him hastily, "Help us to get out of this, Luigi;" and Luigi applied himself to the task with vigour. It was a matter of some difficulty, and once or twice both Amanda and her father were in actual danger, so that the young man felt that he was acting quite an heroic part.
He returned like one distraught to his wife, leaving the worthy mason, and also the neighbors who heard him to gather a few things for the needs of so terrible a want, hitherto unknown, for the two Corsicans had carefully hidden it from a feeling of pride. Luigi had cast his gold upon the floor and was kneeling by the bed on which lay his wife.
The hapless Luigi, comprehending suddenly that his wife was starving, was seized with the fever which consumed her. He shuddered, and went out, pretending that some business called him; for he would rather have drunk the deadliest poison than escape death by eating that last morsel of bread that was left in his home.
"That is all very well, as far as Angelo is concerned," said Luigi, "but what am I to eat?" "I do not see that there is anything the matter with you," the doctor answered, "you may, of course, eat what you please." "And also drink what I please, I suppose?" "Oh, certainly at present.
Blowing down the walls of Jericho with rams' horns wa'n't as difficult, in my opinion." "And that is not all," said Angelo. "A thing that is even more marvelous, perhaps, is the fact that the change takes note of longitude and fits itself to the meridian we are on. Luigi is in command this week.

He indicated the long, littered work-table. "They must see it." "They will see it, Luigi," said Miss Thorne gently. "And now, how are you? Are you well? Are you comfortable? It's such a dreary old place here." "I suppose so," he replied, and he met the solicitous blue-gray eyes for an instant. "Yes, I am quite comfortable," he added. "I have no time to be otherwise with all the work I must do.
The Signora insisted on preparing the meal, so Markham filled his pipe and helped Hermia to amuse the bambino. "You will pardon?" said Fabiani. "But this is the hour of practice, while the supper is preparing. Luigi, Stella, we will go on if you please."
If you ask me for how many years I have been sole owner of this stretch of water I must refer you to Loretta, who had lived just five summers when my big gondolier, Luigi, pulled her dripping wet from the canal, and who had lived eleven more sixteen, in all when what I have to tell you happened. And yet, Loretta's little mishap, now I come to think of it, does not go back far enough.
It is too much to pay for being a duchess, to lose all I want in life." "But many duchesses must do that, you know. I never have asked such a sacrifice, though, God knows, I have wanted it." "You have never asked, Luigi, and that makes me all the more happy to give. I will tell you when to come." With an ardent embrace the two parted. She stepped inside the tree and closed the door.
