But there was the fifth--this Gaspare.
When they came out to the pavement the Marchesino cast a searching
glance at the Sicilian, who was taking the cloaks, while the two
carriages which had been summoned by the hotel porter were rattling up
from the opposite side of the way. Gaspare had saluted him, but did
not look at him again. When Hermione and Vere were in the first
carriage, Gaspare sprang on to the box as a matter of course. The
Marchesino went to tell the coachman which way to drive to the
Carmine. When he had finished he looked at Gaspare and said:
"There will be a big crowd. Take care the Signora does not get hurt in
it."
He laid a slight emphasis on the word "Signora," and put his hand
significantly into his waistcoat-pocket.
Gaspare regarded him calmly.
"Va bene, Signor Marchese," he replied. "I will take care of the
Signora and the Signorina."
The Marchesino turned away and jumped into the second carriage with
Emilio, realizing angrily that his gold piece would avail him nothing.
