The three men looked at one another thoughtfully, then drew out their wallets, thin and worn. They made up a purse of exactly one hundred and fifty dollars, not at all a propitious sum to trap elusive fortune. But such as it was, O'Mally passed it across the table. This utter confidence in her touched La Signorina's heart; for none of them knew aught of her honesty.
'The Signorina Vittoria! She threw up her veil. 'Success is certain, he remarked and applauded, holding one hand as a snuff-box for the fingers of the other to tap on. 'Signor Conte, you must not praise me before you have heard me. 'To have seen you! 'The voice has a wider dominion, Signor Conte. 'The fame of the signorina's beauty will soon be far wider. Was Venus a cantatrice?
"Marchese, don't be ridiculous!" said Vere, with sudden petulance. "Don't ask Monsieur Emile absurd questions!" "But he thinks as I do. Emilio, is it not so? Is it not an honor for any book to have the Signorina's name?" He spoke emphatically and looked really in earnest. Artois felt as if he were listening to a silly boy who understood nothing. "Let us all write our names," he said.
He was a handsome bright-eyed fellow, with a soldier's frame and a smile as broad and beaming as laughter, indicating much of that mixture of acuteness, and simplicity which is a characteristic of the South, and means no more than that the extreme vivacity of the blood exceeds at times that of the brain. A curious frown of half-amused astonishment hung on the signorina's face.
The fact is of good omen; for it proves that she did not go unexpectedly, and is likely to return when it may best suit her convenience." "This is very singular," observed Kenyon. "Have the rooms been entered by yourself, or any other person, since the signorina's disappearance?" "Not by me, Signore, so help me Heaven and the saints!" said the matron.
Before she knew it, Assunta was trotting meekly down the road at the young lady's heels, carrying a great flat basket for the Signorina's use in picking grapes. They were bound for the lower slopes; the grapes ripened earlier there, the peasant woman explained, and the frosts came later. The loaded wagons that they met were going to Arata, a wine press in the valley beyond this nearest hill.

This antiquated fussiness of the dilettante little nobleman was sickening to her. 'Probably you expect to discover a revolutionary symbol in the lines of the signorina's dress, she said. 'A revolutionary symbol! my dear! my dear! The count reproved his daughter. 'Is not our signorina a pure artist, accomplishing easily three octaves? aha! Three! and he rubbed his hands.
Tools were procured, and, working under the signorina's directions, after a good deal of trouble, we laid bare a neat little safe embedded in the wall. This safe was legibly inscribed on the outside "Burglar's Puzzle." We however, were not afraid of making a noise, and it only puzzled us for ten minutes. When opened it revealed a Golconda!
'Proceed to Barto, the mole, he said, 'Barto the miner; he is the father of daylight in the city: of the daylight of knowledge, you understand, for which men must dig deep. Proceed to him; if you can find him. But Carlo brought flame into Agostino's eyes. 'The accursed beast! he has pinned the black butterfly to the signorina's dress. Agostino rose on his elbow. He gazed at them.
