I feelfor you, you are mad with grief and do not
know what you are saying. Two policemen tookcharge of the coffin; Cavalier Franco
helped Leonardo Costa to alight. Shemay have had her faults, but there, what a fate
hers has been too!
I cannot allow such things to be said in
mypresence! And almost all of them wept, and many sobbed aloud.
Giulio had known that he would kill his mother, if
he spoke. We all knowthat Salvo was acting within his rights in shutting down the
sulphurpits there!
What do you propose to put aside, to
identify?
Hestill retained the prestige that this badge
conferred. Yes, and with so horrible, so horrible a fall!
But Mortara shook off her aims and drowned her cry
with:Your mother?
He did not reply to any question; perhaps he didnot
hear.
The news had been made public that same evening, as
he was on his wayhome from Velias with Mauro. And he pointed to the box, which had
been laid on a table. She must not set eyes on himthroughout the
journey.
Leonardo Costa was demanding exactly what the crowd
had imagined.
Lando had exclaimed, waving his clasped handsin the
air. Listen to me: I have somethingto tell you. And almost all of them wept, and
many sobbed aloud. They were quits now, andstood face to face.
Very well: all three ofthem must remain apart, in
concealment. On the third carriage,there, the one with a serjeant on the box! But
verysoon they had discovered that she was unable.
They were quits now, andstood face to face. He had,
by it, drawn upon himself for ever the hatred, the mortalenmity of Salvo. Antonio
Del Re could see nothing, feel nothing, think of nothing anymore. Perhaps, torn off,
yes, and alimb or two, charred. That was where the ancestralvault of the Spoto
family was.
And releasing her hand he had moved away from
her.
To beholdthis, oh murderers, we fought so many
battles. Oh, poor father, with that box there, facing him! Like this, in private
like this; especially as these tearswere good for him, now.
