'A sham dragon, shamming sleep, has destroyed more virgins than all the heathen emperors, says old Hans Aepfelmann of Duesseldorf. Margarita's foot was tapping quicker. 'Speak, Dietrich! she said. Dietrich declared to the Club that at this point he muttered, 'We love you. Margarita was glad to believe he had not spoken of himself.
There is the Kaiser's, the late Kaiser's, the Czar's, Umberto's, Margarita's, who loves music, more than most and toute la boutique. Then there are also those of all the musicians, and but you will see to-morrow." He had brought his violin-case upstairs, and now opened it and took out his Amati. "I will play for you, ma chère fille," he declared. And he played. Brigit watched him, amazed.
Farina was at Margarita's feet offering them in return. 'Wilt thou? said Margarita, with softer stress, and slight excess of bloom in her cheeks. Farina put the purple cluster to his breast, and clutched them hard on his heart, still kneeling. Margarita's brow and bosom seemed to be reflections of the streaming crimson there. She shook her face to the sky, and affected laughter at the symbol.
What could have been Margarita's motive for telling this lie? But Felipe had too many serious cares on his mind to busy himself long with any thought of Margarita or her fibs. She had said the first thing which came into her head, most likely, to shelter herself from the Senora's displeasure; which was indeed very near the truth, only there was added a spice of malice against Alessandro.
So mused Farina with his arms folded and his legs crossed in the shadow of Margarita's chamber. Gradually he fell into a kind of hazy doze. The houses became branded with silver arrows.

She was a frail- fashioned little lady, with a face betokening the perpetual smack of lemon, and who reigned in her brother's household when the good wife was gone. Margarita's robustness was beginning to alarm and shock Aunt Lisbeth's sealed stock of virtue. 'She must be watched, such a madl as that, said Aunt Lisbeth. 'Ursula! what limbs she has!
In the simple life of such a household as the Senora's, it was not strange that this was possible; nevertheless, it argued and involved untiring vigilance on Margarita's part.
All unconscious, equally of Margarita's heart and her own, Ramona proceeded to Felipe's room. Felipe was sleeping, the Senora sitting by his side, as she had sat for days and nights, her dark face looking thinner and more drawn each day; her hair looking even whiter, if that could be; and her voice growing hollow from faintness and sorrow.
'Shameful! exclaimed Margarita. 'I will speak to Berthold as he descends. I hear him coming. He shall do what I wish. 'Call it dreadful, Grete! Dreadful it was. If Berthold would like to sit and hear Ah! she is gone. A good girl! and of a levity only on the surface. Aunt Lisbeth heard Margarita's voice rapidly addressing Berthold. His reply was low and brief.
