"Oh, he is a town prig," began Tina recklessly; but here Malcolm, who had cleared his voice in vain, now began to whistle with such unmistakable purpose that a dead silence ensued. "What a spiteful little toad!" thought Malcolm, who cared nothing for fluffy hair and curling eyelashes if a shrewish tongue accompanied them.
And with that, he shook hands warmly, shouldered Tina, and went away. But after the boys were abed, he sat long before his fire with the tired look on his face and the 'heimweh', or homesickness, lying heavy at his heart.
Love had not all gone to feed the fires of hatred. Tina still trusted that Anthony felt more for her than he seemed to feel; she was still far from suspecting him of a wrong which a woman resents even more than inconstancy.

That scene about Tina this morning quite upset me. Poor little Tina! What a little simpleton it was, to set her heart on me in that way! But she ought to see how impossible it is that things should be different. If she would but understand how kindly I feel towards her, and make up her mind to look on me as a friend; but that it what one never can get a woman to do.

'Now we must have no bungling to-night, Karl, said Mazzuolo; 'we will keep quiet till two o'clock, and then when everybody is asleep, we'll to business. 'But what is it to be done with? inquired Tina.
Charrington is an old dear, but he is rather a prig. I mean" transfixed by the sudden gleam in Malcolm's eyes "I mean, that is that he is so learned." "Oh, I am quite aware of your meaning, Miss Ross," returned Malcolm quietly, "but I am rather an embryo prig myself." Then for the remainder of the meal Tina was absolutely dumb.
After the warmth of the March sun outdoors the house was cold with that clammy, penetrating, tomblike chill of the Italian home. "Tina!" she called. From the rear of the house came a cackle of voices. Tina was gossiping. There was no smell of supper in the air. Mary Gowd shrugged patient shoulders.
