Enrapt in his own dreams, Ambrosio sat, pouring thunderous harmony out of the golden-tubed instrument which as yet, with its self-acting machinery, was untouched by the flames, and Varillo half-mad with terror, sprang at him like a wild beast "Stop!" he cried "Stop, fool! Do you not see can you not understand the monastery is on fire!"
His self-imposed punishment, and his unexpected reward in the personality of his son, have proved a little too much for him, both he and 'Grandit' are at my Chateau," here she raised her lorgnon, and peered through it with an inquisitive air, "Tiens! There is the dear Varillo making himself agreeable as usual to all the ladies! When does the marriage come off between him and our gifted Sovrani?"
Unless a merciful Providence intervenes, she will marry Florian Varillo, and no doubt he will make her invite Mademoiselle Pon-Pon to her house to dine and sleep!" "She loves him!" said Aubrey simply. "Yes, she loves him, because she deludes herself with the idea that he is worthy of love. But if she were to find him out her whole soul would indignantly repulse him.
The horse knew as well as the driver, that the way now lay homeward, and lost no time. Varillo, left to himself, paused a moment and looked about him. The Campagna! How he hated it! Should he pass the night at that albergo, or walk on? He hesitated a little then made for the inn direct.
The Princesse is anxious to know you may I introduce you?" And without waiting for a reply, as the Princesse was close at hand, she performed the ceremony of introduction at once in her own light graceful fashion. "Truly a strange meeting!" laughed Varillo, "You three ought to be very good friends!
"There is nothing small in the beauty of woman!" declared Varillo, with an enthusiastic air "Her form is divine! Her delicious flesh tints her delicate curves her amorous dimples her exquisite seductiveness combined with her touching weakness these qualities make of woman the one, the only subject for a painter's brush, when the painter is a man!"
They come to bury themselves, lest God should find them and crush them into dust before they have time to say a prayer! Like Adam and his wife, they hide themselves 'from the presence of the Lord among the trees of the garden." Varillo raised himself on one elbow, and stared at the pale face and smiling mouth of the speaker in fear and wonder. "'A place where the dead come!" he echoed.
Angela watched them, well pleased; she too had quick instincts, and as she noted Sylvie's sudden flush under the deepening admiration of Aubrey's eyes, she thought to herself, "If it could only be! If she could forget Fontenelle if " But here her thoughts were interrupted by her own "ideal", Florian Varillo who, catching her hand abruptly, drew her aside for a moment.
"How long have I been here?" he asked suddenly. The monk gave a curious deprecatory gesture with his hands. "Since you died! So long have you been dead!" Varillo surveyed him with a touch of scorn. "You talk in parables like your Master!" he said with a feeble attempt at a laugh. "I am not strong enough to understand you! And if you are a Trappist monk, why do you talk at all?
He shuddered as he saw this, and half-closed his eyes with a deep sigh. "Tired tired!" said a thin clear voice beside him. "Always tired! It is only God who is never weary!" Varillo opened his eyes again languidly, and turned them on a monk sitting beside him, a monk whose face was neither old nor young, but which presented a singular combination of both qualities.
