According to Vasari, Cimabue died in 1300, and was entombed in the church of S. Maria del Fiore at Florence. The following epitaph, composed by one of the Nini, was inscribed on his monument: "Credidit ut Cimabos picturæ castra tenere Sic tenuit, vivens, nunc tenet astra poli."
"You were brought up near Nevers?" Angelique, red with anger that she could not prevent them from reading, had fallen into a sullen silence. But at last she opened her mouth to speak of her nurse. "Ah! you may be sure that Maman Nini would have beaten you. She always took my part against others, she did, although sometimes she struck me herself.
Doretta rests upon her laurels, playing with her doll Nini. She dresses Nini in her best gown, and takes her to call on the cat, Melanio. The cat, Melanio, who is dozing with half-open eyes, is somewhat bored by these attentions. Raising himself on his four paws, he arches his flexible body, and then rolls himself up into a ball, turning his back upon his visitor.
We were silent also, as the picture of that transfigured daughter of the house flitted across our own mental vision. "The village?" suddenly broke in the old mere. "Dieu de Dieu! that reminds me. I must go, my children, I must go. Loisette is waiting; la pauvre enfant perhaps suffering too how do I know? And here am I, playing, like a lazy clout! Did you know she had had un nini this morning?
"Women can," said the other, "don't you make any mistake. Good-bye." She watched the carriage drive away, and turned to meet the spiteful chaff of Nini and her German friends. "Now," said Mr. Temple, as soon as the wheels began to revolve, "perhaps you will tell me how you come to be out in Paris alone at this hour." Betty stared at him coldly.
I was thus certain that though they might feel hungry they, would not die for want of food or water during the short time I intended to be gone. This done, I went to the kitchen where I found Nini, who had obeyed orders not to move but who had presence of mind enough to lay out bread and jam and wine for the famished youth who had brought the message.
