"But you can you will, you must!" cried Orsino laying a hand on the old man's thin arm. "She must not go " "Better that she should, after all. Of what use is it for her to stay? She is quite right. You cannot marry her." "Cannot marry her? Why not? It is not long since you told me very plainly that you wished I would marry her.
"Are you sure of what you are telling me?" Orsino asked the question in a low voice, and his brow contracted. "One can hardly have better authority than the clerk's own statement." "And he distinctly told you this, did he?" "Most distinctly." "He must have had an object in betraying such a confidence," said Orsino.
There was no mistaking the tone in which the threat was uttered. Spicca meant what he said, though not one syllable was spoken louder than another. In his mouth the words had a terrific force, and told Orsino more of the man's true nature than he had learnt in years.
Sebastian assented to this proposal; and when the marriage ceremony was over, he left his lady for a short time intending to go and tell his friend Antonio the good fortune that he had met with. In the meantime Orsino came to visit Olivia: and at the moment he arrived before Olivia's house, the officers of justice brought their prisoner, Antonio, before the duke.
"There are sketches on each of my fingers, Madame principally, of tigers." "Good-bye then consider your hand shaken. Are you going, Prince?" Orsino had taken his hat and was standing beside her. "You will allow me to put you into your carriage." "I shall walk." "So much the better. Good-bye, Monsieur Gouache." "Why say, Monsieur?" "As you like you are older than I."
"Del Ferice is far too clever a man to ruin Orsino," answered Corona. "Exactly. That is the trouble. That is what makes me feel that though Orsino has worked hard and shown extraordinary intelligence and deserves credit for that yet he would not have succeeded in the same way if he had dealt with any other bank. Del Ferice has helped him.
"For Heaven's sake, do not distress yourself about such trifles," said Orsino, earnestly. "There is nothing to forgive." "Thank you." Orsino looked at him, pondering on the peaceful ending of the strange life, and wondering what manner of heart and soul the man had really lived with.
"I think you are threatening me, Count Spicca," said Orsino, flushing slowly but meeting the other's look with unflinching coolness. "No. I am not. And I will not let you quarrel with me, either, Orsino. I have a right to say this to you where she is concerned a right you do not dream of. You cannot quarrel about that." Orsino did not answer at once.
"What a charming idea!" laughed the countess. It Was tolerably evident that the remark was beyond her. "She is stupid," thought Maria Consuelo. "I fancied so from the first. I will ask Don Orsino about her. He will say something amusing. It will be a subject of conversation at all events, in place of that endless tiger I invented the other day.
"Frankly, no," answered Orsino, meeting the steady glance without wavering. "Then I do not see any reason whatever for telling you the truth," returned Spicca quietly. "But I will give you a piece of general information. If harm comes to that lady through any man whomsoever, I will certainly kill him, even if I have to be carried upon the ground."
