What do you say?" the canon exclaimed. "He did not? Who did, then?" "Why, I did and Eliza," Panoria replied "You and Eliza!" "Eliza!" "Why, she said nothing!" These were the exclamations of surprise and query that came from all present. "Why, surely!" said Panoria; "and was it wrong? Fruit is free to all here in Corsica.
"If I could not give a better reason" "It is not my reason, Panoria," Eliza broke in. "It is Mamma Letitia's; therefore it must be right." "Well, I don't care," Panoria declared; "even if it is your mamma's, it is but how is it your mamma's?" she asked, changing protest to inquiry. "Why, we hear it whenever we do anything," replied Eliza.
Many a battle royal he had fought because of her with the fun-loving boys of Ajaccio, who found that it enraged Napoleon to tease him about the little girl, and therefore never let the opportunity slip to tease and torment him. "Ah, Napoleon, it is you!" cried Panoria, as the boy approached her. "And what great stories have you been telling yourself today in your grotto?"
Eliza was "in for it" now. "Then you shall see me!" she declared. "Come to my house. Mamma Letitia is away visiting, and I shall have the best chance. I promise you; you shall see." "Hurry, then," said Panoria. "It is better than braving the black elves, this that you are to do, Eliza. For truly I think your uncle the canon must be an ogre."
In fact, Napoleon stood more in awe of Panoria than she did of him. For the boy was, as boys and girls say today, "sweet on" the little Panoria, to whom he gave the pet name "La Giacommetta."
"When there are no doors, one should be even more careful about intruding." "Pho! hear the little lord," teased Eliza. "One would think he was the Emperor what's his name, or the Grand Turk." Napoleon was about to respond still more sharply, when just then a shrill voice rang through the grotto. "Eliza; Panoria! Panoria; Eliza!" the call came. "Where are you, runaways? Where are you hidden?"
