"It is a little difficult to know how to address the Abbe to-day, is it not, Monsignor? For of course he is no longer an Abbe no longer a priest of Holy Church! Helas! When anybody takes to telling the truth in public the results are almost sure to be calamitous!" Moretti turned upon her with swift asperity.
We were talking, as I have said, of Perugino and his works, apropos of the spirit in which those of Signor Moretti have been conceived, and our friend Signor Adamo Rossi was present.
One other reason besides the object of directing the attention of the lovers of art to the works of a real and genuine artist has led me to think it desirable to make Signor Moretti and his workshop known to American and English readers.
And I owe him much for in saving me, he also saved Cyrillon from something worse than death." "Naturally you must be very gratefu," retorted Moretti satirically, "The affection of a son you have denied for twenty-five years must be exceedingly gratifying to you!" He paused then said, "Does this boy belong to the Church?" "No," said Manuel, answering for himself, "I have no Church."
"And with all this clamour and appeal their writer is willing to become a murderer!" said Moretti satirically. Young Vergniaud sprang forward. "Monsignor, in the name of the Master you profess to serve I would advise you to set a watch upon your tongue!" he said, "Granted that I was willing to murder the man who had made my mother's life a misery, I was also willing to answer to God for it!
We have no right, if we follow Christ, to do anything that may injure or cause trouble to any other creature. We have no right to be hasty in our judgment, even of sin." "Sin is sin, and demands punishment " interrupted Moretti. "You quote the law of Moses, Monsignor! I speak with the premise 'if'. IF we follow Christ; if we do not, the matter is of course different.
"As prepared as any of the truth-tellers who were burned for the love of Christ by the Inquisition," replied Vergniaud deliberately. "The world is wide, there is room for me in it outside the Church." "One would imagine you were bitten by the new 'Christian Democratic' craze," said Moretti with a cold smile, "And that you were a reader and follower of the Socialist, Gys Grandit!"
"Yes the whole business looks as black as murder!" he said. Moretti looked at him sharply. "Murder? You suppose " "That Claude Cazeau has been murdered? Certainly I suppose it! It is more than a week now since we heard that he had mysteriously disappeared, and still there is no news. What can it be but murder? But I do not for a moment suppose that our good Saint Felix is concerned in it!"
" and Moretti broke off to consider this new point- "He rants of the honour of Italy, and would not let his finger ache for her cause! And he professes to love the 'Sovrani' while all Rome knows that Pon-Pon is his mistress!" Gherardi wisely held his peace.
"You you " stammered Moretti, retreating from him as from some loathsome abomination, "You Gys Grandit!" "You, Cyrillon! you! you, my son!" and the Abbe almost lost breath in the extremity of his amazement, while Cardinal Bonpre half rose from his chair doubting whether he had heard aright.
