On our way back to the inn, he was still

The effect of these ominouS words on the
Professor was magical He took short step
forward, his eyes fixed on Trevvy's face.

was up betimes on the following morning,
but learned that de Treville had already set
out Fairly certain of meeting him if headed
in the direction of the little town, started
off. 1t was a glorious morning, and as
walked down the steep and winding road,
found it hard to believe that in world SO
lovely the acts of men could be so foul; that
here vandals had trampled. ravaged and
burned 50 recently that their detiling marks
might still be seen upon the countryside
AS | WAS about to pass the first shop IN
the struggling little high street, an unexpected
sound pulled me up sharply. A girl was laugh
ing, happily and musically. Upon her merri-
ment followed few words spoken in famil-
lar tone; and then: Really, Major de Trev-
ille," | heard - and the speakers English
was marked by delightfully."- pretty accent
- but you are most absurd.
A moment later she stepped out into the
street, dusky-eyed Madonna wearing
simple print frock. Trevvy followed, carrying
a large basket laden with all sorts of pro-
visions!
'Ah! there you are" he exclaimed when
he saw me- Miss Francesca Lambardi has
been initiating me. Digger, into the mysteries
of buying things from shopkeepers
which apparently they don't want to
SELL"
As looked into the girls laughing
eyes, | recaptured momentarily that
vision on the hillside: 1t was Francesca
we had seen in the old Roman portico.
Enthusiastically, Trevvy had es-
tablished himself on footing of trust
ed friendship within the space of half
an hour And so when the girl returned
to Villa Lambardi, he and carried the
basket in turn.
AND as we drew nearer to those high
stone walls, so did the spirits of Fran
cesca droop. De Treville's absurdly
y amusing comments never tagged nor
:, failed, nor did the girls appreciation;
but | noted that her eyes ceased to
! smile in harmony with the laughing
lips. A mantle of somber mystery was
wrapping her about ever more closely
y as we drew nearer, step by step, to
Villa Lambardi.
At a gate in the ancient wall she
paused and turned. Il know my uncle
has declined to see you," she said
softly but am sure he is wrong -
it is best that he should. If his manners
seem strange, try not to notice. He
has suffered Perhaps you can help him."
This gentle prelude did little to prepare us
for our meeting with Professor Lambardi.
In study laden with books, statuettes and
