If the man's story was borne out by facts, not only would Italy receive a handsome sum from a colony which had hitherto been a drain on her resources, but he, Marchetti, would reap some share of the credit, not to mention the bonus promised for his assistance. His instructions from headquarters were clear. He had acted within his rights in arresting von Kerber and detaining Mr.
I guessed at once what was the matter, and felt no surprise when I saw the woman Marchetti and her daughter. His excellency asked me if I knew them. "I must know them, monsignor, as one of them will become my wife when she has convinced me by her good conduct that she is worthy of that honour." "Her conduct is good, she lives with her mother at Lusia; you have deceived her.

You see, rumor is apt to exaggerate." "I think you are taking a very reasonable and proper view, your Excellency. It will be best for all parties if we try to regard the incident in that light." Marchetti was vaguely conscious of a too complete agreement in the lady's tone. But he seized the apparent advantage. "Then that is settled," he said cheerfully.
But three months having elapsed without my having paid any visit to Lusia, or having answered the letters written to me by the damigella Marchetti, and without sending her the money she claimed of me, she made up her mind to take certain proceedings which might have had serious consequences, although they had none whatever in the end.
She concluded her letter by saying that, in case I entertained honest intentions towards her, I had only to speak to her mother, Jeanne Marchetti, who resided in Lusia, a city thirty miles distant from Venice. This letter piqued my curiosity, and I even imagined that she had written it in concert with the abbe.
Charming woman that you are, I cannot compliment you on either of your present suitors. My advice Is, go back to England, and help me tomorrow in persuading Signor Fenshawe to let matters rest where they are." As one walking in a dream, Mrs. Haxton accompanied Marchetti to the courtyard. There she found von Kerber, who ran to meet her. "So it is you," he cried in English.

Marchetti paid heed to these things, and interpreted them as evidences of timidity.
It was not enough that Italian law should be misused to further his ends, but the scum of the bazaar is enlisted under his banner, and he is supported by the authorities in an act that would be reprobated by any half-savage state in existence." "I pray you calm yourself, signora," exclaimed Marchetti, now fully alive to the dangers confronting him.
