Her visage had the same unmoved expression when she conversed with Violetta as when she listened to the ravings of the Corso. Darkness came, and the bells ceased not rolling by her open windows: the clouds were like mists of conflagration. She would not have the windows closed. The noise of the city had become familiar and akin to the image of her boy. She sat there cloaked.
Violetta was frightened by his eyes when she tried to persuade him in her best coaxing manner to avoid Count Ammiani. In fact she apprehended that he would be very much in her way. She had no time for chagrin at her loss of power over him, though she was sensible of vexation.
Thou wilt receive him with friendship, for the love thou bearest his father?" Donna Violetta curtsied, but it was with womanly reserve. "The door of my palace is never shut on the Signor Giacomo on all proper occasions," she said, coldly. "Signore, the son of my guardian could hardly be other than an honored visitor."
"I do most solemnly hope that you may not have to sustain Countess Alessandra under any affliction whatsoever," she said at parting. Violetta had escaped an exposure a rank and naked accusation of her character and deeds.
After Violetta had gone, Carlo, though he shunned secret interviews, addressed his betrothed as one who was not strange to his occupation and the trial his heart was undergoing. She could not doubt that she was beloved, in spite of the colourlessness and tonelessness of a love that appealed to her intellect.
The officer glanced another look around the room, more, however, through habitual caution than any other reason, bowed, and departed. A profound and sorrowful silence succeeded. Then the apprehension that Don Camillo might mistake their situation and appear, flashed upon the mind of Violetta, and she hastened to apprise him of the danger, by speaking to the new attendant.
The Mayor's eldest daughter sat in front and clapped her little soft white hands. She was a tall, beautiful young maiden, and wore a white dress, and a little cap woven of blue violets on her yellow hair. Her name was Violetta. The supper was served at midnight and such a supper!
Violetta has not one grain of love for her country; but she can be made to serve it. As for me, I have gone too far to think of turning aside and drilling with Luciano. He may yet be diverted from Rome, to strike another blow for Lombardy. The Chief, I know, has some religious sentiment about Rome. So might I have; it is the Head of Italy. Let us raise the body first. And we have been beaten here.
"Is it expected that Violetta Tiepolo will do these menial offices for herself?" "Signora, no. A most excellent and agreeable attendant has been provided for that duty. Annina," he continued, approaching the door, "thy noble mistress is impatient to see thee." As he spoke, the daughter of the wine-seller appeared.
But never mind, Ermine, he is a very good fellow, and what is the use of making a secret of what even Violetta knows?"
