It is now a good time to stop. Of one American we will gain a quarter of a million lira a fortune and of the other one hundred and fifty thousand lira. With what we already have it is enough and more. Quietly we will disband our men and go away. In another land we live the respectable life, in peace with all, and Tato shall be the fine lady, and forget she once was a brigand's daughter."
If any of the villagers saw her approaching they slipped out of her path. Once on the highway, however, Tato became lost in reflection.
Uncle John looked thoughtful; the old lawyer was grave and listened silently. Patsy, her arms still around the shrinking form of the child, looked pleadingly at her uncle. Beth's eyes were moist and Louise smiled encouragingly. "Well, my dears? The Duke is certainly not entitled to our friendship, as he truly says; but I have nothing against little Tato. What do you advise?"
But he thought better of Il Duca. They met an hour later at luncheon, all but the Duchessa, who sulked in her garden. Tato was bright and smiling, filled with a suppressed joy which bubbled up in spite of the little one's effort to be dignified and sedate.
"What place is this, Tato?" he asked; "and where is our friend Ferralti, who needs me?" There was no reply. He turned around to find the boy had disappeared. Moreover, the passage had disappeared.

Tato has the money to pay for everything but the kindness, if you will let her stay in your society until I can claim her.
Walter walked to and fro the road before the cottage. The chaise arrived; the luggage was put in. Walter's foot was on the step; but before the Corporal mounted the rumbling dickey, that invaluable domestic hemmed thrice. "And had you time, Sir, to think of poor Jacob, and look at the cottage, and slip in a word to your uncle about the bit tato ground?"
And the Tato showed Gabriel the little chubby figure of a preaching friar with enormous donkey's ears. When they came out of the choir Gabriel spied the Chapel-master close to the fresco of Saint Christopher. He had just emerged from a little door close to the giant, which led by a circular staircase to the musical archives.
