 For others had come up into the porch for refuge, too. The clattef .e1 the street covered the sounds of thei1 footsteps and voices.
 At length Fil1ppo was aroused, by feeling that he was the object of at tention. He turned with a start, an6 thought he was at home again: Fol there stood a figure which he might have met any day in Casa Micciola But it had such clear, kind, sea-blue eyes as he could rarely have met any where.

 But even Filipo's anger was not equal to his maddening, helpless per
