Was he to act for Salvatore, to save Salvatore from justice? He would not have minded doing that, he would have wished to do it, if afterwards he could have sprung upon Salvatore and buried his knife in the murderer of his padrone. But the padrona? She was not to know. She was never to know. And she had been the first in his life.
"Gaspare," Maurice said, "I must leave some one with the padrona. Salvatore might come still. I may miss him going down. Whom can I trust to stop Salvatore, if he comes, but you? You see?" "Va bene, signorino." The boy seemed convinced, but he suffered and did not try to conceal it. "Now I must go," Maurice said. He shook Gaspare's hand. "Have you got the revolver, signorino?" said the boy. "No.
Don Luis is said to have been degraded to the rank of ensign on account of some wild escapades, and who knows what has become of the poor, beautiful signorina. The padrona sometimes sent money to her in Italy, by way of Florence, through Signor Lamperi but I have heard nothing of her during the last few months."
"And whom do you call the most unfortunate of all?" I asked him. He looked at me as he uttered these curious words. "The most unfortunate of all, sir," he said, "are they that have to pretend to love when they do not feel it. And theirs is the class of which our Madonna is the patroness." Padrona degli Sventurati, Helper and Friend of those who must serve Love without loving!
It was in the reign of the late King Francis, and you doubtless know that this great Prince was a very gallant gentleman, who was said to have broken as many hearts as lances. My padrona, who in those days was very beautiful, belonged to the ladies of his court, and King Francis especially distinguished her.
Casa Alvisi is directly opposite the high, broad-based florid church of S. Maria della Salute so directly that from the balcony over the water-entrance your eye, crossing the canal, seems to find the key-hole of the great door right in a line with it; and there was something in this position that for the time made all Venice-lovers think of the genial <i>padrona</i> as thus levying in the most convenient way the toll of curiosity and sympathy.
I know that." She spoke with conviction, nodding her head. "Perhaps the Signora does not see." Vere smiled. "Gaspare, I believe you are horribly sharp," she said. "I often think you notice everything. You are birbante, I am half afraid of you." Gaspare smiled, too. He had quite recovered his good humor. It pleased him mightily to fancy he had seen what the Padrona had not seen.
They retired, in hopes of finding a more gentle padrona at some other well in the neighbourhood; and the fury, when they were out of sight, divided the long black hair which hung over her face, and, turning to one of the spectators, appealed to them in a sober voice, and asked if she was not right in what she had done?
A bell rang in the house, loudly, persistently, tearing its silence. Gaspare turned angrily from the rail, with an expression of apprehension on his face. Giulia was summoning the household to dinner. "Perhaps perhaps Madre will come down," Vere whispered. Gaspare passed them and went into the house quickly. They knew he had gone to see if his Padrona was coming.
After the priest had left the house, Belotti said, sighing: "He'll yet force me to yield to his will. He abuses his power over souls. I'm no saint, and what he asks of me " "Is right," said Wilhelm firmly. "But you don't know what it is to throw away, like a pair of worn-out shoes, the dearest hope of a long, sad life. And for whom, I ask you, for whom? Do you know my padrona?
