"I confess I had some kind of fancy she might wish to send you just a line or a card any sort of reminder of her existence on Christmas-day; for she knows the English custom," he said, rather absently. "And there is nothing nothing of any kind, you say. Well, I have written to Pandiani." "Ah, the maestro? yes?"
You know it is almost the same consequence as Grace Mainwaring towards the public, and I am, oh, very proud of such an advancement; and I have written to Pandiani, and to Carmela and Andrea, and Mrs. Grey is kinder than ever, and I take lessons always and always, when she has a half-hour from the house-governing.
"At one concert, yes, in Naples," the young lady made answer. "And at two or three matinées" And then she turned to him, with a bright look. "You know this, Leo? I am offered no I was offered an engagement to sing in opera; oh, yes; it was the impresario from Malta he comes to Naples Pandiani makes us all sing to him then will I go to Malta, to the opera there? No!" "Why not, Nina?
"I hope it isn't so? but if it is so, here have I, through mere thoughtlessness, wounded her pride, and, what is more, interfered with her professional career. I suppose she'll go right away back to old Pandiani; and they'll be precious glad to get her now at Malta, after her success in England.
"Ah, Leo," said she, "I should wish to see you give it all up yes all the popularity and your fine company and that you go away back to Pandiani " "Pandiani!" he exclaimed. "Here's romance, indeed! You want us both to become students again, and to have the old days at Naples back again " "No, no, no!" she said, shaking her head. "It is the future I think of.
Ah, we have escaped from you, good Maestro Pandiani? there shall be no grumblings and incessant repetitions to-day? no, nor odors of onions coming up the narrow and dirty stairs: here is the open world, all shining, and the sweet air blowing by, and Battista trying to sell his useless canes, and the minstrels playing "Santa Lucia" most sentimentally, as though they had never played it before.
But in this theatre there is no Pandiani and his curses " "No, no, not curses, Nina," he said. "I see old Debernardi has taught you some strange English. Of course the maestro did not use curses to his favorite pupil oh, yes, you were, Nina, a great favorite, though he was always grumbling and growling.
And I cannot go without saying good-bye. I want to tell her something. She must make friends with Miss Burgoyne, now she has got into the theatre. Lehmann will give her a better part by and by oh, yes, I'll see to that for Nina and I must write to Pandiani, to tell him of her success " "Oh, but that's all settled, Linn," his friend broke in, perceiving the situation at once.
No; be frank; say to yourself, 'I am Pandiani; here is Antonia Rossi troubling me once more; it is useless; go away, Antonia Rossi, and not trouble me! Well, Maestro Pandiani, what you say?" "So you want to go on the stage, Nina?" said he; and again the dread of finding himself responsible for this solitary young stranger sent a qualm to his heart.
