He would also tell them that the credit balance of their account current would not be at their disposal until their acceptances were met. Orsino would probably at last believe that the situation was serious, though he now looked so supremely and scornfully indifferent to events. They waited some time.
There are other things " she stopped suddenly and looked away. "What other things?" But Maria Consuelo did not answer. Orsino knew that she was thinking of all that had once passed between them. He wondered whether, if he led the way, she would press him as she had done at their last meeting. If she did, he wondered what he should say. He had been very cold then, far colder than he was now.
On the following morning, by appointment, he went with a heavy heart to meet Del Ferice at the bank. The latter had always preferred to see Orsino without Contini when a new contract was to be discussed. As a personal acquaintance he treated with Orsino on a footing of social equality, and the balance of outwardly agreeable relations would have been disturbed by the presence of a social inferior.
Del Ferice was not very subject to that sort of forgetfulness. When Corona had finished speaking, Giovanni was silent for a few moments. "Is it not splendid?" Corona asked enthusiastically. "Why do you not say anything? One would think that you were not pleased." "On the contrary, as far as Orsino is concerned, I am delighted. But I do not trust Del Ferice."
Orsino resumed his position and scowled at Anastase with a good will. "Not quite such a terrible frown, perhaps," suggested the latter. "When you do that, you certainly look like the gentleman who murdered the Colonna in a street brawl I forget how long ago. You have his portrait. But I fancy the Princess would prefer yes that is more natural. You have her eyes.
Within a week the business was concluded, the buyer took over the mortgage as Orsino and Contini had done and paid the difference in cash into the bank, which deducted the amounts due on notes of hand before handing the remainder to the two young men. The buyer also kept back a small part of the purchase money to be paid on taking possession, when the house was to be entirely finished.
To Cesario Orsino confided the whole history of his love for the lady Olivia.
Then she sprang to her feet, pushing him back violently as he rose with her, and turning her face from him. "Go go!" she cried wildly. "Go let me never see you again never, never!" Before he could stop her, she had passed him with a rush like a swallow on the wing and was gone from the room. Orsino was not in an enviable frame of mind when he left the hotel.
The room was large, and he paced the floor beside her, looking down at her bent head. "Will you stay if I ask you to?" The question came in a lower and softer tone than she had used before. "I will go with you," answered Orsino as firmly as ever. "Will you do nothing for my asking?" "I will do anything but that." "But that is all I ask." "You are asking the impossible."
The two others were kept alive until it should be known if the pope had arrested Cardinal Orsino, archbishop of Florence and lord of Santa Croce; and when the answer was received in the affirmative from His Holiness, Gravina and Orsina, who had been transferred to a castle, were likewise strangled.
