Signorina, will you bring the little box covered with old velvet? It is there, on the table, and it is open." Aurora rose, humouring her, and brought the thing she asked for, and sat down again, setting it on the edge of the bed. Regina turned her head to see it, and raised the lid with one hand. "This is my little box," she said. "What he has given me is all in it. I have no other. Will you see?
The gentleman looked back imperturbably, no slightest shade of recognition in his glance, unless a gleam of amusement far, far down in the depths of his eye might be termed recognition. He extracted a card with grave deliberation and handed it to his companion. 'Voglio vedere la Signorina Costantina, he remarked.
"Yes, I do, and clearly." "Then, Signorina, you are forbidden to undervalue the gift of song. You must feel its power over the heart, when you enter the opera-house; over the soul, when you kneel in a cathedral." "Oh," cried Isaura, with enthusiasm, a rich glow mantling over her lovely face, "how I thank you! Is it you who say you do not love music?
She smiled at him, in joy of her small triumph, for Hedwig was looking at the floor again and could not see. But the young girl had strength in her, for all her cold looks and white cheek. "You can atone, Signor Cardegna," she said. Nino's face brightened. "How, signorina?" he asked. "By singing to us now," said Hedwig.
It might do him incalculable harm. Harm!" La Signorina repeated; "do you understand?" "But " "Silence, I command you!" The tone had the power to subdue Kitty. The indignant protest died on her lips. She sat perfectly still, but she would have liked to cry. To let Mr. Hillard pass by in this manner, without a sign of friendliness or recognition! It was intolerable.
Wed this voice to the poetry, and it finds passage 'twixt your ribs, as on the point of a driven blade. Do I cry the sweetness and the coolness of my melons? Not I! Try them." The signorina put her hand out for the scroll he was unfolding, and cast her eyes along bars of music, while Agostino called a "Silenzio tutti!" She sang one verse, and stopped for breath.
'When she goes out to work in ze morning, signorina, wif the sunlight shining on her hair, and a smile on her lips, and a basket of clothes on her head Ah, zen she is beautiful! 'When are you going to be married? 'I do not know, signorina. I have not asked her yet. 'Then how do you know she wishes to marry you? 'I do not know; I just hope.
She took the card from Kitty's fingers, tore it into many pieces and flung them over the wall. "We have been betrayed!" she cried, a storm in her eyes. "Betrayed?" O'Mally looked at Smith; Hillard stared at Merrihew; Kitty regarded La Signorina with wonder. "Betrayed? In what manner?" asked Hillard. "Her Highness has had no hand in this. I know. Some one with malice has done this petty thing."
"But I must beg to know your revered name," he added, in the stock Italian phrase. "Capira I am very sorry but they say your horses " "Put him into my carriage," answered the elderly gentleman shortly. "I am the Principe Montevarchi." "But, Excellency the Signorina " protested the coachman.
Then, evidently with a polite desire to please her and carry on the conversation in the direction indicated by her, he added: "And are you like your Signora Madre, Signorina?" Vere felt inclined to smile, but she answered, quite seriously. "I don't believe I am. My mother is very tall, much taller than I am, and not so dark. My eyes are much darker than hers and quite different."
