- You have Tlready arrived for some time
continued Orlan4ini.
- Yes, twenty minutes ago.
- That's j.: / heard Diamante's voice
bowling az tl.e rnucchio. and already for a
quarter Of IN -Four he has Tejoined me. He
is good and true beast, is he not Mr.. Lucien
- Yes, tha3's the word, Orandini, good
and true. refoiIlad Lucien, caTessing Diamante.
- But, since YOU knew that Mr.. Lucien
was here, asked |, why did you not come
soonerl
- Because 5our rendezvous was for nine
o'clock, and tlat il is equally negligent to ar
rive a quartz. ;ot an hour too soon, as 10 ar
rive quarter Of an hour too late.
- Do you make me reproach, Orlandini
said Lucien laughing.
- No sir y3u might have your reasons for
so doing; you. moreover, are in company, and
that is probable the cause why you have fail
ed in your habits; for you too, Mr.. Lucien,
are very exact,.ar.d know it better than any
body else, for sog have, thank God, discom-
moded yourself very often for my sake.
- Ii is not Rosth while to thank me, Or

Then only cou.d observe Orlandini with
attention. He was a man of high stature,
wearing his braei in its full length, and dress
ed exactly like The young de Franchi, with
this exception hoHever, that his clothes bore
the marks Of tre4ueut contacts with the MAX
Is, wherein their proprietor lived, the roots
and stumps thrrl b which he had more than
once been obliged to fly, and the earth, upon
which he slept every night.
/ could not understand what they said, first
because they Were about twenty PAGES distant,
and then because. they spoke the Corsican d.
alect. But [ could easily perceive by their
gestures, that the bandit refuted. with great
warmth, a succession Of reasonings, which
the the young mn exposed with a calmness
that did honor toshe imPartiality he evinced
IN this TRANSACTION Finally Orlandini's ges-
tures became less>treluenta and less energetic !;
his language nvga seemed to become slow
and dull; upon last observation he hung
his head down. and lastly. after few mo.
nents nause lac t.pfered the vornr man his
hand.
The conference, IL all probability, was at
an end, for both turned toward me.
