Visconti was on the march. Vincenzo caught his breath sharp- ly and went to the window to see the last of Conrad. “My atonement, methinks, is to come,” said Vincenzo. “But Mas- ino will never hear of it-â€"Mastino is dead.” Conrad winced. He knew Mas- tino was not dead. “Gladly will I,” replied Con- rad, as they descended the narrow stairs. “And always shall I keep him for thy sake.” “Ay, do,” said Vincenzo wist- fully again, “otherwise thou would’st forgetâ€"of a surety, for- get.” “Not Iâ€"â€"I shall always remem- ber.” Horses were brought to the court- yard, and Vincenzo called his little page and put him on one. “I tried to make atonement,” he murmured Vincenzo, leaning on the stair- x-ail, with very bright eyes, looked after this father, and then towards Conrad with a sudden wistful smile. “I almost would I were to be rid- ing gaily across a summer plain, awayâ€"~this castle has grown gloomy of lateâ€"there is horror in the air.
