CHAPTER III
he Gadfly took lodgings outside the Roman gate, near to
which Zita was boarding. He was evidently somewhat of a
sybariteS; and, though nothing in the rooms showed any
serious extravagance, there was a tendency to luxuriousness
in trifles and to a certain fastidious daintiness in the arrangement of
everything2 which surprised Galli and Riccardo. They had expected to
.
find a man who had lived among the wilderness of the Amazon more
simple in his tastes, and wondered at his spotless ties and rows of boots,
and at the masses of flowers which always stood upon his writing table.
On the whole they got on very well with him. He was hospitable and
friendly to everyone, especially to the local members of the Mazzinian
party. To this rule Gemma, apparently, formed an exception; he seemed
to have taken a dislike to her from the time of their first meeting, and in
every way avoided her company. On two or three occasions he was
actually rude to her, thus bringing upon himself Martini's most cordial
detestation. There had been no love lost between the two men from the
beginning3; their temperaments appeared to be too incompatible for them
to feel anything but repugnance for each other4. On Martini's part this
was fast developing into hostility.
"1 don't care about his not likling me," he said one day to Gemma with
an aggrieved air. "1 don't like him, for that matter6; so there's no harm
done. But I can't stand the way he behaves to you. If it weren't for the
scandal it would make in the party first to beg a man to come and then
to quarrel with him, I should call him to account for7 it."
"Let him alone, Cesare; it isn't of any consequence, and after all, it's as
much my fault as hisL"
"What is your fault?"
"That he dislikes me so. I said a brutal thing to him when we first met,
that night at the Grassinis'."
"You said a brutal thing? That's hard to believe, Madonna."
"It was unintentional, of course, and I was very sorry. I said something
about people laughing at cripples, and he took it personally2. It had
never occurred to me to think of him as a cripple; he is not so badly
deformed."
"Of course not. He has one shoulder higher than the other, and his left arm
is pretty badly disabled, but he's neither hunchbacked nor club-footed. As
for his lameness, it isn't worth talking about."
"Anyway, he shivered all over and changed colour. Of course it was
horribly tactless of me, but it's odd he should be so sensitive. I wonder if
he has ever suffered from any cruel jokes of that kind."
"Much more likely to have perpetrated them4, I should think. There's a
sort of internal brutality about that man, under all his fine manners, that
is perfectly sickening to me."
"Now, Cesare, that's downright unfair. I don't like him any more than
you do, but what is the use of making him out worse than he isS? His
manner is a little affected and irritating--I expect he has been too much
lionized6--and the everlasting smart speeches are dreadfully tiringT; but
I don't believe he means any harm."
"1 don't know what he means, but there's something not clean about a
man who sneers at everything. It fairly disgusted me the other day at
Fabrizi's debate to hear the way he cried down the reforms in Romes,
just as if he wanted to find a foul motive for everything."
Gemma sighed. "1 am afraid I agree better with him than with you on
that point," she said. "All you good people are so full of the most
delightful hopes and expectations; you are always ready to think that
if one well-meaning middle-aged gentleman happens to get elected
Pope, everything else will come right of itself~. He has only got to
throw open the prison doors and give his blessing to everybody all round,
and we may expect the millennium within three months. You never seem
able to see that he can't set things right even if he would. It's the principle
of the thing that's wrong, not the behaviour of this man or that."
"What principle? The temporal power of the Pope?"
"Why that in particular? That's merely a part of the general wrong. The
bad principle is that any man should hold over another the power to bind
and loose. It's a false relationship to stand in towards one's fellows?'
Martini held up his hands. "That will do, Madonna," he said, laughing.
"1 am not going to discuss with you, once you begin talking rank
Antinomianism in that fashion. I'm sure your ancestors must have been
English Levellers in the seventeenth century. Besides, what I came round
about is this MS.''
He pulled it out of his pocket.
"Another new pamphlet?"
"A stupid thing this wretched man Rivarez sent in to yesterday's
committee. I knew we should come to loggerheads with him before
