I, that have defiled His sanctuary, and taken the Body of the Lord into polluted hands, He has been very patient with me, and now it is come. MR. JAMES BURTON did not at all like the idea of his young step-brother "careering about Switzerland" with Montanelli.
Breakfast had not long been on the table, however, when he came tearing into the room, hatless, with a tiny peasant girl of three years old perched on his shoulder, and a great bunch of wild flowers in his hand. Montanelli looked up, smiling. This was a curious contrast to the grave and silent Arthur of Pisa or Leghorn. "Where have you been, you madcap?
Montanelli looked him over deliberately, almost as if he had been inspecting a new and disagreeable animal. Fortunately, however, the Governor was fingering his sword-belt, and did not see the look.
To take a hammer and smash things seems so easy. It's that now only it's I that am under the hammer. As for you, there are plenty of other people you can fool with lies and they won't even find you out." "As you will," Montanelli said. "Perhaps in your place I should be as merciless as you God knows. I can't do what you ask, Arthur; but I will do what I can.
They have shot him." "INTROIBO ad altare Dei." Montanelli stood before the high altar among his ministers and acolytes and read the Introit aloud in steady tones. All the Cathedral was a blaze of light and colour; from the holiday dresses of the congregation to the pillars with their flaming draperies and wreaths of flowers there was no dull spot in it.
He folded up the paper, directed it to Montanelli, and, taking another sheet, wrote across it: "Look for my body in Darsena." Then he put on his hat and went out of the room. Passing his mother's portrait, he looked up with a laugh and a shrug of his shoulders. She, too, had lied to him.
The Governor, with a hasty glance into the looking glass, to make sure that his uniform was in order, put on his most dignified air, and went into the reception room, where Montanelli was sitting, beating his hand gently on the arm of the chair and looking out of the window with an anxious line between his brows.
"Stand bark a little, friends," Montanelli said, turning to the crowd; "I want to speak to him." The people fell slowly back, whispering to each other, and the Gadfly, sitting motionless, with teeth clenched and eyes on the ground, felt the gentle touch of Montanelli's hand upon his shoulder. "You have had some great trouble. Can I do anything to help you?" The Gadfly shook his head in silence.
"Are you busy this afternoon, Arthur?" he said after a moment. "If not, I wish you would stay with me for a while, as you can't come to-night. I am a little out of sorts, I think; and I want to see as much of you as possible before leaving." "Yes, I can stay a bit. I am due at six." "One of your meetings?" Arthur nodded; and Montanelli changed the subject hastily.
He took out of his portmanteau a framed picture, carefully wrapped up. It was a crayon portrait of Montanelli, which had come from Rome only a few days before.
