Van de Werve is inquiring for you, as Miss Van de Werve is about to retire from the company, and Signor Deodati wishes to return home. He is awaiting you." The two gentlemen followed the servant; on the way, Turchi again said in a low voice: "To-morrow, between the hours of five and six." The old Deodati was already at the door with five or six attendants.
Simon Turchi, although apparently so unmoved, had constantly watched Mary's betrothed, noticed the radiant expression of his countenance, and understood the cause. Mary was coming! Perhaps the whole company would know that his suit had been rejected, and that Geronimo had succeeded where the powerful administrator of the house of Buonvisi had failed! This thought deeply wounded his pride.
Turchi replied in a threatening voice and with flashing eyes: "Pietro Mostajo, remember the Superintendent of Lucca." Julio left the building, went to the garden-gate and opened it. "Benvenuto, Signor Geronimo," he said, "what good luck brings you here on a visit to my master? It is a long time since we have seen you."
"And the money? the two hundred crowns?" "Be quiet, signor, on that point. I ask you for nothing. What business is it of yours that I have spent or lost a few pieces of gold, provided I leave for Germany to-morrow at daybreak?" Simon Turchi was like one frenzied.
"He may have some particular communication to make to me, for he seemed to desire a private conversation. The arrival of some merchants of his acquaintance prevented him from speaking to me. I almost quarrelled with Signor Turchi." "Quarrelled!" said Mr. Van de Werve, in astonishment. "Yes; but it was to his praise, at least.

"The heat is intolerable," said Simon, endeavoring to master his feelings. "Heat?" murmured Deodati; "it does not seem to me very warm. Shall I accompany you for a few moments to the garden, signor?" But Turchi raised his head, and smiling in an unconcerned manner, said: "Many thanks, signor, for your kindness. I feel much better.
I wish you a pleasant journey." Julio descended the staircase and walked slowly down the street. His master opened the window and watched him until he was out of sight. Simon Turchi drew a long breath, as though the weight of a mountain had been removed from his heart. A smile lighted up his face, and he said in an accent of intense joy: "He has gone! Now I have nothing to fear.
LXVI., which is actually that of one of the capitals of the Fondaco de' Turchi at Venice; with this only difference, that the intermediate curves between the spurs would have been circular: the reason they are not so, here, is that the decoration, instead of being confined to the spur, is now spread over the whole mass, and contours are therefore given to the intermediate curves which fit them for this ornament; the inside shaded space being the head of the shaft, and the outer, the abacus.
Van de Werve attempted to lead his daughter out of the room; but she, like one crazed by grief, released her hand from her father's, fell upon her knees before Turchi, and exclaimed: "By the love you bore him, signor, take pity on me and tell me what has happened to him. Let me not leave the room under the frightful conviction that he is dead!"
