"He has hardly taken the trouble to deny that he is still in relations with the smugglers he got to know in the Savigno affair, and it's quite natural he should take advantage of their friendship to get his leaflets across the Papal frontier." "For my part," said Riccardo; "what I wanted to talk to you about is this very question.
The prospect of seeing his fiancee acted like wine upon Savigno, and from his exuberant spirits it was evident that he had completely forgotten his serious talk at the breakfast table. His disposition was mercurial, and if he had ever known real forebodings they were forgotten now.
Seizing Norvin by the shoulders, he whirled him about. "Let me see you once. Ah! I am glad you made this sacrifice for me, for I need you above all men." His eyes, though bright with affection, were grave something unusual in him and the other inquired, quickly: "There's nothing wrong, I hope?" Savigno tossed his head and smiled. "Wrong! What could be wrong with me now that you are here? No!
He found, an instant later, that he had risen and was gripping the table in front of him as if for support. He had upset his goblet of wine, and a wide red stain was spreading over the white cloth. To him it was the blood of Martel Savigno. He stared down at it dazedly, his eyes glazed with horror and surprise.

"Martel Savigno, Count of Martinello," Norvin supplied in a strained, breathless voice. "That's him! Why, you must know all about this affair."
And remember, it's pretty well known that most of the members of those more violent sects in the Romagna are survivors of the Savigno affair, who found themselves too weak to fight the Churchmen in open insurrection, and so have fallen back on assassination. Their hands are not strong enough for guns, and they take to knives instead."
But there is no need to ask. You look disgustingly contented. One would think you were already married." Martel Savigno showed a row of even, white teeth beneath his military mustache and clapped his friend affectionately on the back. "It is good to be among my own people. I find, after all, that I am a Sicilian. But let me tell you, that train is not always late.
Why, Sicily was civilized long before my country was even heard of. All sorts of ancient gods and heroes used to live here, I am told, and I supposed Diana had killed all the game long ago." He laughed, but Savigno did not join him, and a moment later they were under way again.
Blake answered him with an odd hesitation: "You must know without asking. There's nothing to say except that she she is like a golden flame. She sets one afire. She is different wonderful. "Exactly!" Savigno laughed with keenest contentment. "There is no other."
"Which one do you mean the 'Red Girdles'?" "No; the 'Occoltellatori." "The 'Knifers'! But that is a little body of outlaws peasants, most of them, with neither education nor political experience." "So were the insurgents of Savigno; but they had a few educated men as leaders, and this little society may have the same.
