It was considerably after dark when Norvin Blake alighted at San Sebastiano, to be greeted effusively by a young man of about his own age who came charging through the gloom and embraced him with a great hug. "So! At last you come!" Savigno cried. "I have been here these three hours eating my heart out, and every time I inquired of that head of a cabbage in yonder he said, 'Pazienza!
Pazienza!" smiled the young soldier, as the impassioned Alixe eagerly demanded to be allowed to approach the orphaned Nadine, at St. Heliers. "You have been so noble, so untiring, do not ruin all by precipitancy now! You see I am already secretly watching over her. I now represent the whole interests of Her Majesty's Service! And you only your own loving heart!
"I think I had better go see." "We will go with you," said Mrs. Vervain. "Pazienza!" replied Ferris. The ladies rose; but Don Ippolito remained seated. "Aren't you going too, Don Ippolito?" asked Mrs. Vervain. "Thanks, madama; but I prefer to stay here." Lamentable cries and shrieks, as if the prisoners had immediately been put to the torture, came from the station as Ferris opened the door.
The Paron went his way more sorrowfully, taking leave at last with the fine burst of Christian philosophy: "We are none of us masters of ourselves in this world, and cannot do what we wish. Ma! Come si fa? Ci vuol pazienza!" Yet he was undeniably lightened in heart. He had cut adrift from old moorings, and had crossed the Grand Canal.
There is no work and no money; people must do something; so they steal. Ci vuol pazienza! Bear witness against an ill-fated fellow- sufferer? God forbid! Stop a thief? I think a burglar might run from Rialto to San Marco, and not one compassionate soul in the Merceria would do aught to arrest him povareto! Thieves came to the house of a friend of mine at noonday, when his servant was out.
Bellini threw his head back, and passionately replaced a section of biscuit and cheese in the middle of his plate. "I know nossing, any more than you! Why you speak me always that Bologna sausage! Pazienza! What is it that sausage to make the agreeable conversation!"
"Pazienza!" in such disasters exclaim the inhabitants of the Riviera, with a melancholy shrug of the shoulders. And they needs must have patience until the weather clears and the ground dries, before they can secure such of the olives as may happily be uninjured.
Thou dreamest with those wonderful eyes of thine open. I do not understand this Love of thine that turns from things earthly, that rends thy father's and mother's heart in twain." His eyes filled with tears. "Pazienza! earthly things are but as shadows that pass. It is thou that dreamest, Signora.
"To go with the nobili into the Duomo where one may behold the Pala d'Oro and the wonderful golden candlesticks which the Serenissimo hath given to see the Serenissimo take her for the Daughter of the Republic wonder of wonders! And then to the Palazzo Ducale for the Betrothal Pazienza, one must wait; they will come again later, my bambini. Ah, but the beauty of it!"
What dost thou want more? Pazienza!" There was a commotion on the Piazzetta; the first barge, heading the long procession from the Palazzo Cornaro in San Cassiano far up the Canal Grande, was coming in sight, bearing the brilliant Compagnia della Calza, the noble youths of the Company of the Hose, whose gilded duty it was to appear at State Ceremonials in all the extravagance of fantastic elegance with which Venice had decreed their costumes.
