le Jour OH il await renvoy6 d d'Esp&-
rant le mandat de deux cents ducats,
ct depuis cette epoque, il n'avait plus
recu aucune nouyelle de Campo
Mare.
| Eft dire qu'ils ne connaitront
jamais Mandica Ia grande diva
mon eleve
DaEs un Encouragement profond,
lie vieux maestro await ferme son
piano pour toujours ct s'etalt jure
quill ne donneralt plus de lecons a
personne.
| En- vain, Serge tachait de consoler
lie vieux maitre a chanter; celui-ci,
tout d 81 douteur, ne voulait rien
ecouter, CONNIE il ne voulait plus
ricn faire.
| Maitre Palestri n'etait pas richie.

aucune resource, etait trop delicat
pour consentir a rester d la charge

ayentureuses de Ia vie nomade quill

bohemien lui exprimalt toute sa re-

la Scala etait devant lui.
Mon cher Palestri, lui dit ce
dernier, permettez-mol d'esperer que

-Oui, vous consoler, reprt rim-
