"You can tell her who is here, and ask her whether she wishes to have

Gaspare went out almost cheerfully. He felt that now he understood
what his Padrona was feeling and what she meant to do. She meant to do

feverishly excited, but determined.
"The Signora will see you, Signor Marchese."
The words hit the Marchesino like a blow. He stared at Gaspare for a
moment almost stupidly, and hesitated. He felt as if this servant had
told him something else.
"The Signora will see you," repeated Gaspare.
"Va bene," said the Marchesino.
He followed Gaspare slowly up the steps and into the drawing-room. It
was empty. Gaspare placed a chair for the Marchesino.
