"If what you say is true, and do not imagine, dearest, that I have the smallest doubt that all you say to me is entirely and perfectly true, just think of the lot of that povera Contessa Violante! Poverina! I dare say she, think of the wrong I should be doing her! Think how she would hate me!" She shuddered as she spoke.
Certainly she was marvellously good-looking. She had not only the beauty of colouring; she had also the more distinguished and lasting beauty of line. An Italian voice near to Craven remarked loudly, with a sort of coarse sentimentality: "Che bella ragassa!" Another Italian voice replied: "Ha ragione di venire qui con quella povera vecchia! Com'e brutta la vecchiezza!"
He had read in the papers of the violence done to her, and had at once dismissed her from his mind with a muttered "Povera Ragazza!" She was no longer beautiful. And now he discovered her living as a servant with the ladies of the island. Who could have put her there? He thought of Emilio's colloquy with Maria Fortunata. But the Signora? A mother? What did it all mean?
"Somebody must have looked on the povera signora with the evil-eye, Signor Dottore." Giuseppe crossed himself. "It seems so," the doctor replied, gravely. He was almost as superstitious as the contadini among whom he labored. "Ecco, Signor Dottore!" The doctor looked up. At the arch stood a figure holding a little lamp. Almost immediately, two more figures appeared behind it. "Il dottore!
"That is well," said Madame von Marwitz with quiet satisfaction. "That is well. I cannot think of Tallie as ill. She is never ill. It is perhaps the peaceful, happy life she leads povera that preserves her. And the air, the wonderful air of our Cornwall. I fixed on Cornwall for the sake of Tallie, in great part; I sought for a truly halcyon spot where that faithful one might end her days in joy.
Again and again he repeated those words, "La povera bambina la povera piccola bambina." And at last Hermione was overcome. "I won't go to Sicily," she said to Artois. "For if I went there I could only go to Monte Amato. I won't go until Vere is old enough to wish to go, to wish to see the house where her father and I were happy." And she had never gone back.
"Povera Leonora," he used to say, "povera Leonora, who must work so hard while I lie here and play the signore!" And once or twice he cried a little. But for the most part he was cheerful and bore his pain with patience. All the time la povera Mamma kept up her courage, and made Babbo believe that the money went three times as far as it did.
I will take care for her, and she shall be to me as the povera who is dead! Come, picciola!" Mrs. Williams had by this time so far recovered from her amazement as to find voice enough to demand of Nelly whether she was really going to be so ungrateful as to leave a place where she had been so kindly treated, and ruin herself for life, by going off with a wandering character like that.
Do not you cannot you understand the difference?" "I do understand, Bianca mia; povera anima sofferente I do understand. Do you imagine that I would judge you harshly severely? I know too well all that you would say; I know the difficulties, the impossibilities of your position. Do you think that I cannot make allowances for all the fatalities attending on such a combination of circumstances?
"Ay la povera senora oh, the poor lady!" he cried out, his eyes now filling and his mouth working with emotion, which he vainly tried to suppress as I told him of the poor dead lady and the little baby floating about on the floor, both of them murdered "E la pequina nina and the little child, too!"
