Ruffo, anything at all, that surprised you?"
"Surprised me, Signora?"
"Surprised you, or reminded you of anything?"
"I don't know what you mean, Signora."
Gaspare's voice was hard and cold. He looked steadily at Hermione, as
a man of strong character sometimes looks when he wishes to turn his
eyes away from the glance of another, but will not, because of his
