Teresa's cheek turned very pale, as she hid her face on Da Vinci's shoulder, who whispered: "So ends the last scene in the dark drama of thy past. Look up, my Viola! The clouds are passed, and sunshine is over all." IT was evening in Val d'Arno. The sun was sinking behind the horizon and twilight was descending upon the glorious vale.
Yet he was the first to recover himself. 'Boys, said he, 'we ought not to have brought a lady's name into the discussion; but since Teresa's has been mentioned, we may as well have an understanding. I consider the young lady as engaged to me, and you will please remember that fact when you are talking of her.
Teresa's mother died just when her daughter was at that dangerous age in which a young girl needs a wise mother most; 'the age when virtue should begin to grow, as she says herself. Teresa was an extraordinarily handsome and attractive young lady, and the knowledge of that, as she tells us, made her very vain, and puffed up her heart with foolish imaginations.
"Truly, I think so," she responded, laying one hand tenderly on Teresa's hair, as the girl caressingly knelt beside her. "And so, despite lack of priestcraft, we shall continue to pray, in these uncertain and dangerous times, that all may be well for the country, the people, and the King! Good-night!" Again Sir Roger bowed, and this time altogether withdrew.
I shall certainly pray for Teresa's soul every day till I die." "But but how can you do that, when she killed herself?" He looked at her surprised. "And do you really so far doubt God's mercy? Surely we may hope nay, trust that Teresa had time to make an act of contrition?"

He was attracted by Giselle, with her candid gaze and white throat, pliable, silent, fond of excitement under her quiet indolence; whereas Linda, with her intense, passionately pale face, energetic, all fire and words, touched with gloom and scorn, a chip of the old block, true daughter of the austere republican, but with Teresa's voice, inspired him with a deep-seated mistrust.
"The holy saints above us!" cried Doña Teresa aloud. "The children should have been home long ago. Where can they be!" She ran to the door just in time to see Tonto come ambling slowly into the yard alone and go to his own place in the shed. Doña Teresa's eyes almost popped out of her head with surprise and fright. She threw on her rebozo and ran over to Pedro's hut.
The person who caused this wild tumult in Teresa's frame, was a stately, handsome man, evidently of high birth, and apparently forty-five years of age, although the raven curls around the high, majestic brow were untouched by time.
Deane gave all the altar-boys a year ago, don't you remember? Don't you remember she made almost all of them too small?" Mrs. Costello sat in stunned silence. "I never heard the like!" said she, presently. Teresa's fears awakened anew. "Oh, will Sister let her wear it, do you think, mother?" "Well, I don't know, Tess." Mrs. Costello was plainly at a loss.
