She asked me where I was staying and how long I should be in Florence, and then, expressing a hope that we should meet again, I bowed and left her. I had accomplished one step towards ascertaining the identity of the girl I had seen dead in London. Several days passed, during which I kept a good look out in the streets for sight of Doctor Moroni's fair companion. But I was not successful.
On the Monday morning Phineas called at Moroni's Hotel at ten o'clock, but in spite of Lady Laura's assurance to the contrary, he found that Lord Chiltern was out. He had felt some palpitation at the heart as he made his inquiry, knowing well the fiery nature of the man he expected to see.
"Oswald is in London. He was here not an hour before you came in." "Where is he staying?" "At Moroni's. He goes down on Tuesday, I think. He is to see his father to-morrow morning." "By agreement?" "Yes; by agreement. There is a new trouble, about money that they think to be due to me. But I cannot tell you all now. There have been some words between Mr. Kennedy and papa.
And now when Moroni had said these words, Zerahemnah retained his sword, and he was angry with Moroni, and he rushed forward that he might slay Moroni; but as he raised his sword, behold, one of Moroni's soldiers smote it even to the earth, and it broke by the hilt; and he also smote Zerahemnah that he took off his scalp and it fell to the earth.
Freemantle's dinner in Eaton Place, dull and heavy though it might probably be, to the chance of Lord Chiltern's companions at Moroni's. Whatever might be the faults of our hero, he was not given to what is generally called dissipation by the world at large, by which the world means self-indulgence.
But Lady Laura's request overrode everything with him. She had asked him to oblige her, and of course he would do so. Had he been going to dine with the incoming Prime Minister, he would have put off his engagement at her request. He was not quick enough to make an answer without hesitation; but after a moment's pause he said he should be most happy to dine with Lord Chiltern at Moroni's.
She was a Piedmontese, for in her hair she wore several of those large pins with round heads of silver filigree placed in a semicircle at the back of her head, until they formed a kind of halo. "The Signore Dottore is at home," was her reply in Italian. "Be pleased to enter." And she showed me along a narrow hall to what was evidently Moroni's waiting-room.
"Mr. Finn is such a thorough politician that he will never forgive you," said Lady Laura. "Yes, I will," said Phineas, "and I'll convert him some day. If he does come into the House, Lady Laura, I suppose he'll come on the right side?" "I'll never go into the House, as you call it," said Lord Chiltern. "But, I'll tell you what; I shall be very happy if you'll dine with me to-morrow at Moroni's.
"Great Akinetoses! You know Orion," said Phineas. "Mr. Kennedy is not an Akinetos," said Lady Laura. "He holds a very proud position," said Phineas, ironically. "A very proud position indeed," said Lady Laura, in sober earnest. The dinner at Moroni's had been eaten, and Phineas had given an account of the entertainment to Lord Chiltern's sister.
But I won't talk about it. You would find Oswald at Moroni's at any hour before eleven to-morrow." "Did he say anything about me?" asked Phineas. "We mentioned your name certainly." "I do not ask from vanity, but I want to know whether he is angry with me." "Angry with you! Not in the least. I'll tell you just what he said.
