Upstairs, Masin was inclined to be friendly with his fellow-craftsman, and gave him dry clothes to sleep in, and bread and cheese and wine in his own room. In spite of his experiences, Masin had never known how to be suspicious. But as Malipieri looked once more at the man's stony face and indistinguishable eyes, he thought differently of his prisoner.
"It is said," resumed the other, "that Father Rodin made answer to his Eminence Cardinal Malipieri, who came to persuade him to die in an exemplary manner, worthy of a son of Loyola, our blessed founder" at these words, the three Jesuits bowed their heads together, as if they had been all moved by the same spring "it is said, that Father Rodin made answer to his eminence: 'I do not need to confess publicly; I WANT TO LIVE, AND I WILL LIVE."
"Certainly," Malipieri answered, with considerable coolness. "Thank you. I have been much interested by your discoveries in Carthage, and if you would allow me to ask you one or two questions " "Pray come in." "Thanks. After you." "After you," insisted Malipieri, standing aside. They went in. Before shutting the postern, the porter looked out into the street. It was almost deserted.
For my own part I do not think the building is in any danger." "Perhaps not," said Malipieri, suddenly looking bored. "I only carry out the Senator's wishes," he added, as if with an afterthought. "It is my business to find out whether there is danger or not."
Malipieri felt as if he were going to have brain fever, as his eye ran along the lines. "Masin," he said, when he had finished, "did you ever kill a man?" "No, sir," answered Masin. "You have always believed that I was innocent, though I had to serve my seven years." "I did not mean that," said Malipieri.
Then Malipieri asked him for the address of Pompeo Sassi, and wrote it down in his pocket-book, and went out. That was on the morning after he had dined at the Baron's house, for it was not his habit to waste time when he wanted information.
Thus mollified the porter at once made a remark about the atrocious weather and proceeded to ask how the work was progressing. "I have explored a good deal," answered Malipieri. "The Senator is coming to-morrow, and you had better sweep carefully. He looks at everything, you know."
Either Malipieri or his man must have seen her." "She is here!" cried the Baroness in a loud tone, something of the truth flashing upon her. "I know she is here!" Volterra's mind worked rapidly at the possibility, as at a problem. If his wife were not mistaken it was easy to explain Malipieri's flat refusal to let any one enter the bedroom. "You may be right," he said, rising.
"But I have asked Malipieri to stay to luncheon. If I tell him that my husband is not coming, perhaps he will not stay after all." "Perhaps not," echoed Sabina with great calmness. "You do not seem to care," said the Baroness. "Why should I?" "I thought you liked him. I thought it would amuse you if he lunched with us." Sabina looked at her with some curiosity.
There were marks on the bright surface of the metal which had not been there when he had looked at it in the afternoon; there were patches of dust, and there were several small scratches, which might have been made by the nails of heavy shoes. "You were right after all," said Malipieri, withdrawing the lantern and setting it down beside him. "The man is here."
