"I did not speak to you, sir," said Moretti, turning upon him angrily. "I know you did not. I spoke to you," answered the young man coolly, "I have as much right to speak to you, as you have to speak to me, or to be silent if you choose. You say the Church is a system of moral government. Well, look back on the past, and see what it has done in the way of governing.
Clint had to suppress a smile. "Yes, I've heard it often, Durkin. It did have a good tone; nice and and clear." "There isn't a better instrument made than a Moretti," said Penny sadly. "I can have it fixed so it won't show, but it won't ever be the same." He laid the violin back in the case very tenderly and spread the white silk handkerchief across the strings.
Moretti had stood immovable during this speech, his dark face rigid, his eyes downcast, listening to every word, but now he raised his hand with an authoritative gesture. "Enough!" he said, "I will hear no more! You know the consequences of this at the Vatican?" "I do." "You are prepared to accept them?"
Came down by train and beat the steamer in." Donald nodded his comprehension. "What did Moretti say about your voice?" "The usual thing. My Seattle teacher had almost ruined my voice, he declared, but, for all that, he was very enthusiastic and promised me a career within five years if I would place myself unreservedly in his hands.
That is the sole explanation. My history has made me not myself." There was a dead pause. At last Moretti spoke. "I have no place here!" he said, biting his lips hard to keep them from trembling with rage, "This house which I thought was the abode of a true daughter of the Church, Donna Sovrani, is apparently for the moment a refuge for heretics.
With a strong effort the Pope raised himself and looked into the pleading Angel-face. With his sudden movement, Gherardi and Moretti also stirred from their frozen attitudes of speechless amazement, and would have approached, but that the Pope signed them away with so fierce and impatient a gesture that they shrank back appalled.
"This is a busy morning with us," said Moretti, without looking up, "The excommunication of Denis Vergniaud will be pronounced to-day, and, what is even more important, Cardinal Bonpre is summoned by His Holiness's command to wait upon him this afternoon, bringing the boy, that boy who is always with him "
His wisdom will be put to the test to-day!" said Moretti coldly, "Do you not think it strange" here he raised his eyes from his papers, "and somewhat incriminating too always supposing the miracle is a case of conspiracy that no trace has been discovered of the man Claude Cazeau?" Gherardi had moved to a book-case, and was standing close to it, turning over a vellum-bound manuscript.
Moretti pushed aside his papers, and leaning his head on one hand frowned meditatively at the amethyst light which streamed radiantly through the jewel-like window above him. "Yes or Christianity, if you like!" he said, "For Christianity pur et simple, WOULD be eccentricity. In its primitive simplicity it is an impossible creed.
Much as Signor Moretti has of Peruginesque in the treatment of his art, his figures, especially his male figures, are free from the faults that have been signalized. There is a robust simplicity about them that is far removed from affectation of any kind.
