The supposition of Friar Thomaso being here, and their departure with the negro servant to rejoin their ship, will remove much suspicion and destroy all inquiry. They must be off immediately.
I could get no more out of him, so having extracted a promise from him that nothing should happen to Thomaso who, I pointed out, was probably quite unjustly accused, I went away. Still, the whole incident left a disagreeable impression on my mind, and I began to wish that we were safe across the Zambesi without more trouble.
Shall I order honest Giacomo of Aoste to prepare the supper, and to air the beds for the noble company that is to follow? You will scarce do more than reach his holstery before the young and the beautiful will begin to think of their pillows." "Maso, I had thought thee among our party, when I left the Refuge this morning?" "By San Thomaso! Signore, but I had the same opinion touching yourself!"
But the latter part of the letter contained intelligence equally important, which was, that Don Silvio had again attempted the life of their father, and would have succeeded, had not Father Thomaso, who happened to be there, thrown himself between them. That Don Silvio in his rage had actually stabbed the confessor, although the wound was not dangerous.
As our hero and Gascoigne were not Italians, they thought that bribery would be the more English-like way of doing the thing; so they composed a letter, to be delivered by Mesty to the friar, in which Jack offered to Father Thomaso the moderate sum of one thousand dollars, provided he would allow the marriage to proceed, and not frighten the old lady with ecclesiastical squibs and crackers.
A tooth of his is preserved in the church of San Thomaso Cantuariense at Verona, part of an arm in a convent at Florence, and another part in the church of St. Waldetrude at Mons; in Fuller's time both arms were displayed in the English convent at Lisbon; while Bourbourg preserves his chalice, Douay his hair shirt, and St. Omer his mitre.
What YOU do, that will I do too; I will either hang or be broken on the wheel along with you, or become an honest man, just as you please. Now, then, what is your decision? Thomaso. Was there ever such a stupid counsellor. Pietrino. Our decision? Nay, the point's not very difficult to decide. Abellino. I should have thought it HAD been. Thomaso.
"Ned, I don't much like the appearance of things," observed Jack; "I must get rid of that Father Thomaso." "You'll find that rather difficult," observed Gascoigne; "besides, if you get rid of him you would have his place filled up with another." "He has frightened that poor old woman into the dismals, and she has the pains of purgatory on her already. I shall go and talk to Mesty."
Yes, yes! there's no doubt about his trade, you may depend on't. Cinthia. The gibbet! Poor dear Matteo! Thomaso. This is a fine piece of work. Baluzzo. Confound the fellow, who would have thought of anything happening so unlucky? Abellino. Why, how now? You seem to be overcome. Struzza. I cannot recover myself; surprise and terror have almost stupefied me. Abellino. Indeed!
By this time the exchange of clothes was effected, the six ducats in Philippo's purse the result of a little private plundering on one of the captured vessels divided; and then they left the prison room, and Philippo locked the door after them. "Is there any chance of Thomaso returning speedily?" Francis asked.
