"Get out of here!" cried Padre Salvi nervously. "I would like to see Padre Damaso." "Padre Damaso is busy. Get out of here!" again ordered the curate imperiously. Lucas went down the stairway muttering, "He's another of them as he doesn't pay well the one who pays best!" At the sound of the curate's voice all had hurried to the spot, including Padre Damaso, Capitan Tiago, and Linares.
He bought a most beautiful farm, called Lo Spinello, on the heights of Fiesole, and another with a very beautiful house called Il Cantone, in the plain above San Salvi, on the River Affrico, and a great house in the Via de' Ginori, which he was enabled to acquire by the moneys and favours of the Duke.
At nearly nine o'clock, the curate, pale and with eyebrows knit, arrived. "Well, you haven't made any one wait!" said the alferez sarcastically to the friar. "I would have preferred not to be present," replied Father Salví, in a low voice, without taking notice of the bitter tone.... "I am very nervous."
There was to be celebrated the high mass, that known as the dalmatic, like the one of the day before, about which the worthy correspondent wrote, only that now the officiating priest was to be Padre Salvi, and that the alcalde of the province, with many other Spaniards and persons of note, was to attend it in order to hear Padre Damaso, who enjoyed a great reputation in the province.
I purchased three of these modern tracts printed respectively at Bitonto, Molfetta and Naples. The "Popular Song in honour of St. Michael " contains this verse: Nell' ora della morte Ci salvi dal! inferno E a Regno Sempiterno Ci guidi per pieta. Ci guidi per pieta. . . . This is the Mercury-heritage. Next, the "History and Miracles of St.
"It must be that he does not sleep well," replied the servant. "He has nightmare since he changed his bedroom. Every day his eyes are sinking deeper, he grows gradually thinner, and is very yellow." As a matter of fact, it was a pitiful sight to behold Father Salví. He did not care to touch his second cup of chocolate, nor to taste the Cebu cakes.
Padre Irene looked around for the joker and saw Padre Salvi, who was seated at the right of the Countess, turn as white as his napkin, while he stared at the mysterious words with bulging eyes. The scene of the sphinx recurred to him. "What's the matter, Padre Salvi?" he asked. "Do you recognize your friend's signature?" Padre Salvi did not reply.
"And so much depends on him," murmured Padre Salvi as they retired. "We'll see who makes that voyage soonest!" remarked another Franciscan. "I shall leave at once," declared the indignant Padre Sibyla. "And we shall go back to our province," said the Augustinians. Neither the Dominican nor the Augustinians could endure the thought that they had been so coldly received on a Franciscan's account.
Father Salví arose and extended his hand to him so affectionately that Ibarra could not suppress a look of surprise. "Do not think it strange," said Father Salví. "I was just paying you a compliment." Ibarra thanked him and approached Sinang. "Where have you been all day?" she asked, with a childish laugh.
Gradually the crowd began to break up, its members each taking a less hostile attitude. It was high time, indeed, for the soldiers were already rushing out armed and with fixed bayonets. Meanwhile, what had the curate been doing? Padre Salvi had not gone to bed but had stood motionless, resting his forehead against the curtains and gazing toward the plaza.
