A look that was surely a look of fear came into his face, rendering it new to Hermione. Never before had she seen such an expression or had she once long ago one night in Sicily? "That isn't all. Ruffo took his mother home, and when they got home she said to him this, 'Has Gaspare ever said you were like somebody?" Gaspare said nothing. "Did you hear, Gaspare?" "Si, Signora."
Ruffo has an extraordinary look in his face sometimes, a look of of your dead Padrone. I didn't see it for some time, but I think you saw it directly. Did you? Did you, Gaspare?" There was no answer. Gaspare only cleared his throat again more violently. Hermione waited for a minute. Then, understanding that he was not going to answer, she went on: "You have seen it we have both noticed it.
To think of its being Gaspare on the island! And when we got home she said to me, 'Ruffo, she said, 'has Gaspare ever said you were like somebody? What is it, Signora?" "Nothing, Ruffo. Go on." "But " "Go on, Ruffo." "'Has Gaspare ever said you were like somebody? my mamma said." "And you what did you say?" "I said, 'No, Signora. And that is true.
Surely long ago in Sicily; for Ruffo was sixteen, and Hermione felt sure knew, in fact that till they came to the island Gaspare had never seen Ruffo. That woman's question! Hermione went slowly to the bench and sat down by the edge of the cliff. What could it possibly mean?
Neither his powers nor Ruffo's, he argued, extended to granting such a capitulation. Ruffo, indeed, had been expressly forbidden to do so; a fact which rendered the paper void from the first.
"Si, Signora," he said, in a low voice. He was now looking at the floor. His arms were resting on his knees, and his hands hung down touching each other. "It seems to me that I never noticed the thing between us until until Ruffo came to the island." "Ruffo?" "Yes, Gaspare, Ruffo." She spoke with increasing energy and determination, still combating her still formless fear.
I never saw that side of her before. She was a woman then. Eventually Ruffo slept with Gaspare." "And how did Gaspare accept the situation?" "Better than I should have expected. I think he likes Ruffo personally, though he is inclined to be suspicious and jealous of any strangers who come into our lives. But I haven't had time to talk to him this morning." "Is Ruffo still in the house?" "Oh no.
She got up. She would start at once for Mergellina. As she went up-stairs she remembered that she did not know where Ruffo's mother lived, what she was like, even what her name was. The boy had always spoken of her as "Mia Mamma." They dwelt at Mergellina. That was all she knew. She did not choose to ask Gaspare anything. She would go alone, and find out somehow for herself where Ruffo lived.
Perhaps the mother was an objectionable, or even a wicked woman. But when she looked at Ruffo she could not believe that. And then several times he had spoken with great affection of his mother. She left things as they were, taking her cue from the boy in despite of her desire. And here, as in some other directions, she was secretly governed by Gaspare.
"Are you sure it was Peppina your mother wished to do evil?" "Si, Signore, quite sure. Peppina is a bad girl. She made my Patrigno mad. She brought trouble to our house." "You love the Signora, don't you, Ruffo?" His face changed and grew happier at once. "Si, Signore. I love the Signora and the Signorina." He would not leave out Vere. Artois's heart warmed to him for that. "Ruffo "
