"
'
Yes
,
'
replied
the
brigadier
;
'
and
as
his
head
is
valued
at
a
thousand
Roman
crowns
,
there
would
have
been
five
hundred
for
you
,
if
you
had
helped
us
to
catch
him
.
'
The
two
young
persons
exchanged
looks
.
The
brigadier
had
a
moment
's
hope
.
Five
hundred
Roman
crowns
are
three
thousand
lire
,
and
three
thousand
lire
are
a
fortune
for
two
poor
orphans
who
are
going
to
be
married
.
"
'
Yes
,
it
is
very
annoying
,
'
said
Vampa
;
'
but
we
have
not
seen
him
.
'
"
Then
the
carbineers
scoured
the
country
in
different
directions
,
but
in
vain
;
then
,
after
a
time
,
they
disappeared
.
Vampa
then
removed
the
stone
,
and
Cucumetto
came
out
.
Through
the
crevices
in
the
granite
he
had
seen
the
two
young
peasants
talking
with
the
carbineers
,
and
guessed
the
subject
of
their
parley
.
He
had
read
in
the
countenances
of
Luigi
and
Teresa
their
steadfast
resolution
not
to
surrender
him
,
and
he
drew
from
his
pocket
a
purse
full
of
gold
,
which
he
offered
to
them
.
But
Vampa
raised
his
head
proudly
;
as
to
Teresa
,
her
eyes
sparkled
when
she
thought
of
all
the
fine
gowns
and
gay
jewellery
she
could
buy
with
this
purse
of
gold
.

"
Cucumetto
was
a
cunning
fiend
,
and
had
assumed
the
form
of
a
brigand
instead
of
a
serpent
,
and
this
look
from
Teresa
showed
to
him
that
she
was
a
worthy
daughter
of
Eve
,
and
he
returned
to
the
forest
,
pausing
several
times
on
his
way
,
under
the
pretext
of
saluting
his
protectors
.
Several
days
elapsed
,
and
they
neither
saw
nor
heard
of
Cucumetto
.
The
time
of
the
Carnival
was
at
hand
.
The
Count
of
San
--
Felice
announced
a
grand
masked
ball
,
to
which
all
that
were
distinguished
in
Rome
were
invited
.
Teresa
had
a
great
desire
to
see
this
ball
.
Luigi
asked
permission
of
his
protector
,
the
steward
,
that
she
and
he
might
be
present
amongst
the
servants
of
the
house
.
This
was
granted
.
The
ball
was
given
by
the
Count
for
the
particular
pleasure
of
his
daughter
Carmela
,
whom
he
adored
.
Carmela
was
precisely
the
age
and
figure
of
Teresa
,
and
Teresa
was
as
handsome
as
Carmela
.
On
the
evening
of
the
ball
Teresa
was
attired
in
her
best
,
her
most
brilliant
ornaments
in
her
hair
,
and
gayest
glass
beads
--
she
was
in
the
costume
of
the
women
of
Frascati
.
Luigi
wore
the
very
picturesque
garb
of
the
Roman
peasant
at
holiday
time
.
They
both
mingled
,
as
they
had
leave
to
do
,
with
the
servants
and
peasants
.
"
The
festa
was
magnificent
;
not
only
was
the
villa
brilliantly
illuminated
,
but
thousands
of
colored
lanterns
were
suspended
from
the
trees
in
the
garden
;
and
very
soon
the
palace
overflowed
to
the
terraces
,
and
the
terraces
to
the
garden-walks
.
At
each
cross-path
was
an
orchestra
,
and
tables
spread
with
refreshments
;
the
guests
stopped
,
formed
quadrilles
,
and
danced
in
any
part
of
the
grounds
they
pleased
.
Carmela
was
attired
like
a
woman
of
Sonnino
.
Her
cap
was
embroidered
with
pearls
,
the
pins
in
her
hair
were
of
gold
and
diamonds
,
her
girdle
was
of
Turkey
silk
,
with
large
embroidered
flowers
,
her
bodice
and
skirt
were
of
cashmere
,
her
apron
of
Indian
muslin
,
and
the
buttons
of
her
corset
were
of
jewels
.
Two
of
her
companions
were
dressed
,
the
one
as
a
woman
of
Nettuno
,
and
the
other
as
a
woman
of
La
Riccia
.
Four
young
men
of
the
richest
and
noblest
families
of
Rome
accompanied
them
with
that
Italian
freedom
which
has
not
its
parallel
in
any
other
country
in
the
world
.
They
were
attired
as
peasants
of
Albano
,
Velletri
,
Civita
--
Castellana
,
and
Sora
.
We
need
hardly
add
that
these
peasant
costumes
,
like
those
of
the
young
women
,
were
brilliant
with
gold
and
jewels
.
"
Carmela
wished
to
form
a
quadrille
,
but
there
was
one
lady
wanting
.
Carmela
looked
all
around
her
,
but
not
one
of
the
guests
had
a
costume
similar
to
her
own
,
or
those
of
her
companions
.
The
Count
of
San
--
Felice
pointed
out
Teresa
,
who
was
hanging
on
Luigi
's
arm
in
a
group
of
peasants
.
'
Will
you
allow
me
,
father
?
'
said
Carmela
.
--
'
Certainly
,
'
replied
the
count
,
'
are
we
not
in
Carnival
time
?
'
--
Carmela
turned
towards
the
young
man
who
was
talking
with
her
,
and
saying
a
few
words
to
him
,
pointed
with
her
finger
to
Teresa
.

The
young
man
looked
,
bowed
in
obedience
,
and
then
went
to
Teresa
,
and
invited
her
to
dance
in
a
quadrille
directed
by
the
count
's
daughter
.
Teresa
felt
a
flush
pass
over
her
face
;
she
looked
at
Luigi
,
who
could
not
refuse
his
assent
.
Luigi
slowly
relinquished
Teresa
's
arm
,
which
he
had
held
beneath
his
own
,
and
Teresa
,
accompanied
by
her
elegant
cavalier
,
took
her
appointed
place
with
much
agitation
in
the
aristocratic
quadrille
.
Certainly
,
in
the
eyes
of
an
artist
,
the
exact
and
strict
costume
of
Teresa
had
a
very
different
character
from
that
of
Carmela
and
her
companions
;
and
Teresa
was
frivolous
and
coquettish
,
and
thus
the
embroidery
and
muslins
,
the
cashmere
waist-girdles
,
all
dazzled
her
,
and
the
reflection
of
sapphires
and
diamonds
almost
turned
her
giddy
brain
.
"
Luigi
felt
a
sensation
hitherto
unknown
arising
in
his
mind
.
It
was
like
an
acute
pain
which
gnawed
at
his
heart
,
and
then
thrilled
through
his
whole
body
.
He
followed
with
his
eye
each
movement
of
Teresa
and
her
cavalier
;
when
their
hands
touched
,
he
felt
as
though
he
should
swoon
;
every
pulse
beat
with
violence
,
and
it
seemed
as
though
a
bell
were
ringing
in
his
ears
.
When
they
spoke
,
although
Teresa
listened
timidly
and
with
downcast
eyes
to
the
conversation
of
her
cavalier
,
as
Luigi
could
read
in
the
ardent
looks
of
the
good-looking
young
man
that
his
language
was
that
of
praise
,
it
seemed
as
if
the
whole
world
was
turning
round
with
him
,
and
all
the
voices
of
hell
were
whispering
in
his
ears
ideas
of
murder
and
assassination
.
Then
fearing
that
his
paroxysm
might
get
the
better
of
him
,
he
clutched
with
one
hand
the
branch
of
a
tree
against
which
he
was
leaning
,
and
with
the
other
convulsively
grasped
the
dagger
with
a
carved
handle
which
was
in
his
belt
,
and
which
,
unwittingly
,
he
drew
from
the
scabbard
from
time
to
time
.
Luigi
was
jealous
!
He
felt
that
,
influenced
by
her
ambitions
and
coquettish
disposition
,
Teresa
might
escape
him
.
