Can this be the decree of Heaven or is it nothing but the blind justice of chance?" He looked upward, doubtingly, to the lustrous sky above him, and sighed. Nanina's eyes still followed his mechanically. He seemed to feel their influence, for he suddenly looked down at her again. "What keeps you silent? Why are you afraid?" he said.
"Are you going to the studio to-day?" Some of the color that Nanina's cheeks wanted began to steal over them as she answered "Yes." "Don't forget my message, darling. And if Master Luca Lomi asks where I live, answer that you are ready to deliver a letter to me; but that you are forbidden to enter into any particulars at first about who I am, or where I live."
The dog was Scarammuccia, returning from one of his marauding expeditions The lady was Brigida, on her way to Luca Lomi's studio. Some minutes before nine o'clock the priest took his post in the street, opposite Nanina's window. It was open; but neither she nor her little sister appeared at it.
You need not bring them to my rooms; I will come and see you this evening, when I am going my rounds among my parishioners, and will take the mats away with me. You are a good girl, Nanina you have always been a good girl and as long as I am alive, my child, you shall never want a friend and an adviser." Nanina's eyes filled with tears.
Think how bitter it would be for him to bear that contempt to see you shunned by proud women, and carelessly pitied or patronized by insolent men. Yet all this, and more, he would have to endure, or else to quit the world he has lived in from his boyhood the world he was born to live in. You love him, I know " Nanina's tears burst out afresh. "Oh, how dearly how dearly!" she murmured.
As soon as he had done, Nanina ventured on the confession that she should feel rather nervous in a grand dress that did not belong to her, and that she doubted very much her own capability of waiting properly on the great people at the ball. The steward, however, would hear of no objections, and called peremptorily for Marta Angrisani to make the necessary statement as to Nanina's character.
