"Corragio, Gaspare!" said Artois to him, in a low voice. His strong intuition enabled him to understand something of the conflict that was raging in the boy. He had seen his glances at Salvatore, and felt that he was longing to fly at the fisherman, that he only restrained himself with agony from some ferocious violence. The Pretore remained silent for a moment.
His sensation of shame had fleeted away, leaving only a conviction that Hermione's absence gave him a right to snatch all the pleasure he could from the hands of the passing hour. He drew out his cigar-case and offered it to Salvatore. "One day I want to come fishing with you if you'll take me," he said. Salvatore looked eager.
He remembered his feeling when he had put his arms round her in the dance. It had been like putting his arms round ignorance that wanted to be knowledge. Who would be Maddalena's teacher? Not he. And yet he had almost intended to have his revenge upon Salvatore. "Shall we go now?" he said. "Shall we go off to Etna, Maddalena?" "Signorino!" She gave a little laugh.
They said nothing aloud, because nothing would have been heard above the whip-cracking and the wheel-clattering and the boisterous inciting noises Beppo was making at his horse. Anxiously they strained their eyes for any sight of the beginning of San Salvatore.
Moreover, it was law that after nine o'clock in the morning no man who had reached the fig-tree that grew in the open space before San Salvatore, should ride to Saint Mark's by the Merceria, so that people had to walk the rest of the way, leaving their horses to grooms.
Her own meditations, illumined by the beautiful face in her presence, referred to the security of Mr. Dacier. 'So, then, life is going smoothly, said Emma. 'Yes, at a good pace and smoothly: not a torrent Thames-like, "without o'erflowing full." It is not Lugano and the Salvatore. Perhaps it is better: as action is better than musing. 'No troubles whatever? 'None.
Salvatore reappeared from the cottage carrying a chair which he set down under an olive-tree, the same tree by which Maddalena had stood when Maurice first saw her in the dawn. "Grazie." Artois sat down. He was very tired, but he scarcely knew it.
"Si, si," they answered, for they had by now learned si, si. Upon which the man congratulated them in a great flow of polite words, not one of which they understood, on their magnificent Italian; for this was Domenico, the vigilant and accomplished gardener of San Salvatore, the prop and stay of the establishment, the resourceful, the gifted, the eloquent, the courteous, the intelligent Domenico.
In the refectory of S. Salvatore del Lauro at Monte Giordano, on the principal wall, he painted in fresco, with a great number of figures, the Marriage of Cana in Galilee, at which Jesus Christ turned water into wine; and at the sides some Saints, with Pope Eugenius IV, who belonged to that Order, and other founders.
I should think you would do well in America. Others do, and why not you?" They looked at each other hard for a full minute. Then Salvatore said, slowly: "Signore, I will tell you the truth. It is the truth. I would swear it with sea-water on my lips. If I had the money I would go to America. I would take the first ship." "And your daughter, Maddalena? You couldn't leave her behind you?"
