Would it not be all right?" "Really, Tista!" exclaimed the good man, holding up his hands in horror. "I had no idea that your religious education had been so neglected! My dear child, marriage is a very solemn thing." "By Diana! I should think so! But that need not make it such a long ceremony. A man dies in a moment paff! the light is out! you are dead. It is very solemn.
I told you last night that I had made up my mind." "And I told you that I had made up mine." "Oh yes boy's threats! I am not the man to be intimidated by that sort of thing. Look here, Tista, I am in earnest. I have considered this matter a long time; I have determined that I will not be browbeaten any longer by two women and a priest certainly not by you.
Marzio laughed hoarsely, and turned his back on the rest, beginning to fill his pipe at the chimney-piece. Don Paolo heard the apprentice's words, and understood their meaning. He went and laid his hand on the young man's shoulder. "Do not let us have any threats, Tista," he said quietly. "Sor Marzio will never do this thing believe me, he cannot if he would."
"It is not enough that you thwart me at every turn, but you come here to mock me, to make a figure of me! Take care, Paolo, take care! You may go too far." "I would not advise you to go too far, Sor Marzio," put in Gianbattista, turning half round on his stool. "Cannot I speak without being interrupted? Go on with your work, Tista, and let us talk this matter out.
The Signora Pandolfi had reached the door, and called out at the top of her voice to the young man. "Tista! Tista!" She could have been heard in the street. "Eh, Sora Luisa! We are not in the Piazza Navona," said Gianbattista, appearing at the door of his little room. "What has happened?"
We may all make mistakes in this world," returned the artist, giving utterance to a moral sentiment which did not influence him beyond the precincts of the workshop. The workman obeyed, and added the requisite instruments to the furnishing of his leather bag. "And be careful, Tista," added Marzio, turning to the apprentice. "Look to the sockets in the marble when you place the large pieces.
"Just so it would be a fine affair!" exclaimed Lucia ironically. "After all, he said so," argued the young man. "What does it matter whether he meant it?" "Things are going badly for us," sighed his companion. "It was different a year ago. You must have done something to displease him, Tista. I wish I knew!" Her dark eyes suddenly assumed an angry expression, and she drew in her red lips.
Then it grew towards the end of summer, and the ferns and the brake began to tarnish in the woodlands, and Dolores Delcor sickened, and failed, and whitened more and more from day to day, till at last she could do no work at all, but lived only at the hands of 'Tista and Herr Ritter.
"We might get some things in earnest, good things. They will always do for the wedding with Tista. Meanwhile, papa will of course have to change his mind, and then it will be all right." "What genius!" cried the Signora Pandolfi. "Oh, Lucia! You have found it! And then we can just step into the workshop on our way that will reassure your father."
"Nothing is quite impossible," replied Lucia. "The heart beats fast. There may be a whole world between one beat and the next." "Yes, my love," assented Gianbattista, looking tenderly into her eyes. "But do you think that between all the beatings of our two hearts there could ever be a world of change?" "Ah that is different, Tista. Why should we change?
