And he started forward, but Mas- tino caught him by the arm. “Stay. Ligozzi; I 'command it.” “Then you yourself will tell them? Oh, it is impossible that thou couldst fall!” “Impossible 2” Mastino rose with clenched hands. “I think it is impossible that I could let her die.” Ligozzi looked at his changed face. “You cannot meanâ€"to accept?” Mastino was silent. “Oh no.” cried Ligozzi, passionately. “You are not yourself.

It was the only sound; the Milanese were silent, almost as if they too winced to hear the words. Mastino rose, with defiance in his burning eyes.

But the strained silence on them all was hard to break.

The sultry breeze blew hack the opening, showing the deep blue sky and near lying tents; a company of soldiers gallnped by carrying the standard of Veronaâ€"the ladder of the Scaligeri.
