Lorenzo Bartolini"
"Where is he to be found?"
''ITe makes statues in a shop in Kings
Cross road; l don't know the number,
but you will easily find it, signor"
Il am glad you are here; the air will
serve you," he said, addressing his
cousin.
A quarter of an hour later and Mack
worth had found the shop in the Kings
Cross road, entering which, he asked
for Lorenzo Bartolini, when low-sized
thick-set man i'll his shirtsleeves, and
with his face, hands and head all COW
cred with white powder, came from the
workshop at the back to see him.
Lorenzo, whose black, round eyes as
sumed startled expression when his
visitors calling was made known to him,
appeared willing to give whatever in
formation he could; but that was little
in itself, and conveyed nothing more
than what Pietro had already stated
This man had never known Mezza in
timately, but had seen him few times
when he had stayed with Pietro in
l1ammersmith, and had fallen into that
friendly intercourse which foreigners in
a strange land quickly form. He had,
therefore, been surprised when Marco
would have passed him without speak
ing, and, thinking it was accidental, Lo-
renzo had stopped him.
But that Mezza had wished to hold no
conversation with his acquaintance soon
became plain to the latter, who accord
ingly went his way without learning
much of the man he had encountered.
The chief impression Lorenzo carried
away from this meeting was that
Mezza was drunk.
you are sure of that said Mack
worth.
well, he couldn't speak plain enough
1t was not that, but his manner-it was
confused"
Gould that have been because he
had met countryman whom he wished
to avoid?"
"But we had never quarreled?"
HE may not wish to have been seen
by you
"That may be true"
did he mention Pietro's manner"
