"Where are you, signorino?" "Down here under the oak-trees." He sank back again, and looked up at the section of deep-blue sky that was visible through the leaves. How he loved the blue, and gloried in the first strong heat that girdled Sicily to-day, and whispered to his happy body that summer was near, the true and fearless summer that comes to southern lands.
"And do you think, for once in a way, though not versatile, he could be prevailed upon to divert his faculties from the work of a gardener to that of a messenger?" "A messenger, Signorino?" Marietta wrinkled up her brow. "Ang an unofficial postman. Do you think he could be induced to carry a letter for me to the castle?" "But certainly, Signorino. He is here to obey the Signorino's orders."
There were no ghosts, but what was the signorino doing all this while in an empty house? The car was there, drawn up at the side of the road under the trees, and Vincenzo fussed round it, pulling the tarpaulin covers more over the seats; he had them in place when it occurred to him to look underneath for the fur rug. It was not there. "Dio mio!" he cried excitedly. "It has been stolen."
"I love you I love you " until at last sleep helped to knit up the ravelled sleave of care. Every morning there were fresh roses for her. "The signorino hopes you are better." "Oh, much better, thank you." And after a while a day came when she felt really strong enough to get up. She dressed slowly and came down and out on to the terrace.
His breast rose and fell. "I was going to strike him in the face, but he caught my hand, and then Signorino, signorino, what have you done?" His voice rose. He began to look uncontrolled, distracted, wild, as if he might do some frantic thing. "Gaspare! Gaspare!" Maurice had him by the arms. "Why did you?" panted the boy. "Why did you?" "Then Salvatore knows?"
"But then she is wicked, and the Madonna will not hear her when she prays, signorino." "Wouldn't you do anything for a man you really loved? Wouldn't you forget everything? Wouldn't you forget even the Madonna?" She looked at him. "Non lo so." It seemed to him that he was answered. "Wouldn't you forget the Madonna for me?" he whispered, leaning towards her.
"You have never been impertinent." "Scusi, Signorino," she went on, in her whisper. "I have sometimes contradicted the Signorino. I contradicted the Signorino when he told me that St. Anthony of Padua was born in Lisbon. It is impertinent of a servant to contradict her master. And now his most high Eminence says the Signorino was right. I beg the Signorino to forgive me."
He walked on very quickly till he came to Goneril, who was busy plucking roses in a hedge. "For whom are those flowers?" he asked. "Some are for you, and some are for Madame Petrucci." "She is a charming woman, Madame Petrucci." "A dear old lady," murmured Goneril, much interested in her posy. "Old do you call her?" said the signorino rather anxiously.
She seemed surprised at the question. "I am a model. My face is ugly, as you see," she said in her simple, straightforward way; "but otherwise I am beautiful, and I can always get work with sculptors. The signorino is an American and he has an unpronounceable name. He is doing me as Eve, crouched on the ground and hiding my head in my arms. After the Fall, you know.
Marietta made a mighty effort-brought all her faculties to a focus studied Peter's countenance intently. Her own was suddenly illumined. "Ah, I understand," she proclaimed, vigorously nodding. "The Signorino desires to know who she is personally!" "I express myself in obscure paraphrases," said he; "but you, with your unfailing Italian simpatia, have divined the exact shade of my intention."
