Will you take me?" I never loved her so well as at this moment when I said, "Madam, I dare not do it." She blushed, I know she was mute with astonishment. I thought old Nonna would have torn my eyes out. "Dog!" she called me, "son of a dog." "I dare not go with you, madam," I repeated. "I love you too well.
Pepe kept his own counsel and confided to no one save old Nonna what he knew. She, too, had learned to be discreet and consequently did not repeat his confidences even to the duchess, who had enough to bear without that additional burden. How pale her darling seemed to her when she saw him in the glass!
When they drew him out from under the blocks and stones he was unconscious, and the Major-domo, who had been attracted by the cries of George's companions, carried him into the prince's room, laid him on the bed, and watched by him until the physician was called. The old nurse, Nonna, aided the Majordomo, and these two faithful souls confided their anxiety to one another.
Why wasn't it finished, and why must he go on climbing again and again that frightful scaffolding? "Nonna, Nonna, you must look, I can stand it no longer," she cried one day after she had been regarding the glass for a long time. "Hold me he is going to jump. Nonna, is he safe? I can no longer see." And the glass shook in her hand.
"You, and that she-wolf over there what have you to say?" "I say," said Nonna, "that the young gentleman is out of his wits." Aurelia said, "I am wretched. He was very foolish." "You have deceived me," he thundered at her, "made a fool of me at your ease. You spoke your wheedling words, and he was in there to listen, and to laugh, by my soul!
Is he dead?" she groaned. But Nonna, despite her gout, sprang up and ran to her mistress with the mirror in her hand and stammering, half laughing and half crying, like one drunk yet possessed of his senses: "George, our George, look. Our prince has the grey lock. Here, before my very eyes I saw it grow."

"You shall call me nothing else, "said I then; but she shook her head, and hung it down as she whispered softly, "I like best Francesco," and then, so low as to be hardly audible, "Checho," the Sienese diminutive for my name of Francis. Old Nonna came in to hound me from the room. That night it was my last but one Aurelia came to the door with me, and let me kiss her two hands again.
Impossible!" After this the duchess permitted no one save old Nonna to look into the glass; she, however, spent many hours each clay in following the miserable experiences of her unfortunate child.
I was frightened Nonna popped him in the cupboard how he got out, how you found him there, I know not. But he has done me no harm nor you neither, Porfirio. That I swear before the saints in Heaven." The doctor glared at her then took her by the wrist. "Lies, lies, woman!" he said furiously. "He convicts you himself. He came out of the cupboard of his own act."
