"Considering the state of affairs I would like to see Del Ferice before speaking with any of the others." "Those men are all involved with Prince Montevarchi," observed Contini, watching the group of which the head clerk was the central figure. "You can see by their faces what they think of the business. The short, grey haired man is the steward the big man is the architect.
"An expensive affair, doubtless," remarked San Giacinto, gravely, in spite of his desire to laugh. "Yes. Five scudi at least," answered Montevarchi, impressively. "Let us by all means be economical." "The Holy Church is very strict about these matters, and you may as well keep the money." "I will," replied San Giacinto, rising to go. "Do not let me detain you any longer.
It chanced that the former librarian of the Montevarchi died at that time and that the prince was in search of a learned man ready to give his services for a stipend about equal to the wages of a footman. Meschini presented himself and got the place. The old prince was delighted with him and agreed to forget the aforesaid disgrace he had incurred, in consideration of his exceptional qualities.
Thereupon, in accordance with the Roman practice of that day, the prefect had announced his determination of taking Faustina into custody. The law took it for granted that the first piece of circumstantial evidence which presented itself must be acted upon with the utmost promptitude. A few questions had shown immediately that Faustina was the last person who had seen Montevarchi alive.
But because you begin with the Del Ferice in a very uncompromising way, it would take a long time for you to know the Montevarchi, for instance." "Who told you that I was a foreigner?" asked Maria Consuelo, rather abruptly. "You yourself " "That is good authority!" She laughed. "I do not remember ah! because I do not speak Italian? You mean that?
The cardinal's voice recalled him to himself. "If you doubt what I tell you, you need only go to the Palazzo Montevarchi and inquire. Donna Faustina will return with the Princess Sant' Ilario. I am sorry that circumstances prevent me from showing you the man who has confessed the crime. He is in my apartments at the present moment, separated from us only by two or three rooms."
Montevarchi thought there was something wrong with his friend, but inasmuch as he had received the papers, he asked no questions and presently departed with them, hastening homewards in order to lose no time in satisfying his curiosity. Two hours later he was still sitting in his dismal study with the manuscripts before him.
Nearly a week elapsed before his efforts met with any success. He was in the club one afternoon at an early hour, reading the papers, and not more than three or four other men were present. Among them were Frangipani and Montevarchi, who was formerly known as Ascanio Bellegra.
In his eagerness to accomplish his purpose, the nobleman never suspected that the offer would be refused by a fellow who had narrowly escaped being convicted of forgery in his youth, and whose poverty was a matter concerning which no doubt could exist. Montevarchi scarcely hesitated before going to the library.
Go and tell her to give you a title, a name for men to call you by! Go into the market and see whether you can find a name for your father! Go and hire a house for us to live in, when that Neapolitan devil has brought Mavia Montevarchi to live in the palace where your mother died, where you were born poor Giovanni! Not that I pity you any more than I pity myself.
