But many of them, though fascinated, remained afraid. "When all is said, what can we do?" they muttered. "Authority has a long arm." The people of the district talked under their breath of nothing else than of this resistance which was being preached as a holy war by the youth of Terra Vergine.
At the door Marina turned again, rallying her failing strength with a last desperate effort, but the words came in a broken, agonized whisper: "O Santissima Maria Vergine! Mater Dolorosa! because thou art the special guardian of this Virgin City and here, in her councils, none of thy reverend fathers may plead for thee be merciful, Madre Beatissima!

He knew well that his old hereditary claim to the Lordship of Ruscino, however capable of proof, would be set aside as fantastic and untenable; but their claim to the water through the holding of Terra Vergine could surely not be set aside. "Your father never said aught about the water that I can remember," she answered.
"Terra Vergine Commune of Ruscino owners Alba from 1620 family of good report regular taxpayers sixty hectares land productive; value just so humph, humph, humph!" Then he laid down the documents and looked at Don Silverio from over his spectacles. "I conclude, most reverend, that you come empowered by this young man to treat with us?"

She spoke little. Since she had been under this roof she had grown ashamed of the squalor and starvation and wretchedness of her past existence.
"Dear and reverend sir," said the mayor, placing himself with his back to the brass lamps, "tell me fully about this youth whom you protect, who will not sell the Terra Vergine. Here we can speak at our ease; yonder at the municipality, there may be always some eavesdropper."

Francesco stirred, and a sigh fluttered through his pallid lips. Then he raised his heavy lids, and their glances met and held each other.
"What is it you say?" "Well may you doubt your ears," he groaned. "But, Vergine Santissima! it is the truth. Madonna Paola, that sweet angel of God, lies cold and stiff. They found her so this morning." "God of Heaven!" I cried out, and leaving him abruptly I dashed down the steps.
