"Here, your excellency," said Peppino, taking the fowl from the young bandit and placing it on the worm-eaten table, which with the stool and the goat-skin bed formed the entire furniture of the cell. Danglars asked for a knife and fork. "Here, excellency," said Peppino, offering him a little blunt knife and a boxwood fork.
"It is my mistress calling me," quoth the fool, leaping to his feet. "So that you own a mistress, though Folly be your only master," laughed the Count. "It would pleasure me to behold the lady whose property you have the honour to be, Ser Peppino." "You may behold her if you but turn your head," Peppino whispered.
What did you do last night, when Peppino and I were in our purgatorio?" Georgie was almost equally glad to get off the subject of Italian. The less said in or of Italian the better. "I was dining with Mrs Quantock," he said. "She had a very interesting Russian woman staying with her, Princess Popoffski." Lucia laughed again. "Dear Daisy!" she said. "Tell me about the Russian princess.
"Can we do nothing for him until his friends return?" was her next question, bending over the Count as she spoke. "Come, Peppino," she cried, "lend me your aid. Get me water from the brook, yonder." The fool looked about him for a vessel, and his eye falling upon the Count's capacious hat, he snatched it up, and went his errand.
By this time we had arrived at the quay and Peppino went off to his uncle's shop for information as to approaching the Sorella di Ninu, leaving me alone with Carmelo. He seized the opportunity. "I have been to see you several times because I wanted to tell you that I also have been in prison." "Hullo! Carmelo," I said, "have you been trying to murder your father?"
* Knocked on the head. Beheaded. "The fact is, that you have inspired not only the pontifical government, but also the neighboring states, with such extreme fear, that they are glad of all opportunity of making an example." "But Peppino did not even belong to my band: he was merely a poor shepherd, whose only crime consisted in furnishing us with provisions."
Alba looked at her friend with a glance full of an astonishment, almost sorrowful, and she embraced her, saying: "Peppino is not worthy even to kiss the ground on which you tread, that is my opinion, and if he does not spend his entire life in trying to be worthy of you, it will be a crime."
Could you manage that with one hand and play the music of the awakening with the other, Georgino?" "I'm quite sure I couldn't," said he. "Well then Peppino must do it before he comes on. We will have movement in this tableau; I think that will be quite a new idea. Peppino shall come in just two steps when he has turned the lamp up, and he will take off my shield and armour "
"Go quietly with the gardien to the poste. I will follow immediately and see what can be done." "Yes, your Excellency," said Peppino, submissively, and abandoning his grasp of the spoke he allowed the policeman to bear him away without further trouble. Meanwhile Beppo and the officer in whose custody he was had disappeared in the distance.
Last time I was at Castellinaria there came to the town for a week a company of Sicilian actors. I was afraid the dialect would be beyond me, but Peppino assured me that it would matter very little if it were, because I should understand the gestures, and he promised to come with me and give me any explanation I wanted. So we went to the theatre the first evening.
