Gaspare came running.
"The Signore Marchese is going, Gaspare. Go down with him to the boat,
please."
The Marchesino grew scarlet. The hot blood rushed over his face, up to
his forehead, to his hair. Even his hands became red in that moment.
"Good-bye, Marchese."
She went out, and left him standing with Gaspare.
"Signore Marchese, shall I take you to the boat?"
Gaspare's voice was quite respectful. The Marchesino made no answer,
but stepped out into the passage and looked up to the staircase that
led to the top floor of the house. He listened. He heard nothing.
"Is the French Signore here?" he said to Gaspare. "Do you hear me? Is
he in this house?"
"No, Signore!"
The Marchesino again looked towards the staircase and hesitated. Then
he turned and saw Gaspare standing in a watchful attitude, almost like
one about to spring.
"Stay here!" he said, loudly, making a violent threatening gesture
with his arm.
Gaspare stood where he was with a smile upon his face.
