Don Loris might affect to consider them disgraced because they hadn't cut his throat. Hoddan had to take care of the matter. And there was Nedda.... Fani came into the story somehow, too. Hoddan's grandfather grunted, at the end. "We'll go down and talk to this Don Loris," he said pugnaciously. "I've dealt with his kind before.
He attempts to stab her, but is prevented by Beppe, and the act closes with the final preparation for the show, the grief-stricken husband donning the motley in gloomy and foreboding silence. The second act opens with Tonio beating the big drum, and the people crowding to the show, among them Silvio, who manages to make an appointment with Nedda while she is collecting the money.
War against injustice; sympathy with suffering; chivalry! Yes! But not quite to the point whence they recoiled on his daughter, his family, himself! The situation was impossible! He was fast resolving that, whether or no they saved Derek from this quixotry, the boy should not have Nedda. And already his eyes found difficulty in meeting hers.
And the music and the festivity was in the house in which Nedda dwelt. She was having a party, on the very night of the day in which he'd been framed for life imprisonment. It was a shock. Then there was a rush of vehicles, and police trucks were disgorging cops before the door. They formed a cordon about the house, and some knocked and were admitted in haste. Then Hoddan nodded dourly to himself.
Stop that awful haunting and keep him from all this!" Kirsteen had listened, with one foot on the hearth in her favorite attitude. When the girl had finished she said quietly: "I'm not a witch, Nedda!" "But if it wasn't for you he would never have started. And now that poor Tryst's dead he would leave it alone. I'm sure only you can make him lose that haunted feeling." Kirsteen shook her head.
The comedy of this scene, if there be comedy in the face of grief, was for the moment lost on Felix. 'It's come, he thought. 'What now? Derek had flung himself down at the table and was burying his head in his hands. Sheila went up to him. "Don't be a fool, Derek." However right and natural that remark, it seemed inadequate. And Felix looked at Nedda.
Nedda raised her face. "Dad, I mean to do something with my life!" Felix answered: "Yes. That's right." But long after Nedda had fallen into dreams that night, he lay awake, with his left foot enclosed between Floras', trying to regain that sense of warmth which he knew he must never confess to having lost.
He was old and anxious-looking, with a gray beard and deep folds in his red cheeks. "Poultry!" she said. "Please, am I right for the Tottenham Court Road?" The old man answered: "Glory, no, miss; you're goin' East!" 'East! thought Nedda; 'I'd better take him. And she got in. She sat in the four-wheeler, smiling. And how far this was due to Chardonnet she did not consider.
The cheeks of his square-cut face had fallen in, the eyes had sunk back, and the prominence thus given to his cheek and jawbones and thick mouth gave his face a savage look only his dog-like, terribly yearning eyes made Nedda feel so sorry that she simply could not feel afraid. "The children are such dears, Mr. Tryst. Billy seems to grow every day. They're no trouble at all, and quite happy.
Nedda rose to her feet, having an inclination to seize his hand, or stroke his head, or something. She subsided again with a fervid sigh, and sat exchanging with him a happy smile. At last she said: "Mr. Cuthcott, is there any chance of things like that changing?" "Changing?" He certainly had grown paler, and was again lightly thumping the table. "Changing? By gum! It's got to change!
