fra felice’s testament

25 i

Even Fra Felice came in and told her about the
two miracles the image had already performed.

" Signorina Tottenham was very stupid to give
up the image, it being such a miracle-worker," said
Donna Elisa.

And so it seemed to all. Had not Signorina
Tottenham owned the image many years, and she had
never noticed anything. It was no miracle-worker.
That was only a coincidence.

It was unfortunate, that Donna Elisa would not
believe. She was the only one of the ancient Alagona
family now left in Diamante. The people were
influenced by her more than they themselves were
aware of. Had Donna Elisa believed, the whole city
would have helped Donna Micaela.

But the drawback was that Donna Elisa could not
believe that God and the saints were willing to aid
her sister-in-law.

She had watched her ever since the festival of San
Sebastiano. As soon as any one spoke of Gaetano,
she grew pale and appeared quite wretched. Her
face became as a transgressor’s, when his heart is torn
with remorse.

Donna Elisa sat thinking of this one morning, and
she was so absorbed that she suffered the needle to
drop. " Donna Micaela is no Etna woman," she said
to herself. " She sides with the rulers, she is glad
that Gaetano is in prison."

Out on the street some men came just then,
carrying a litter. On it lay piled up a lot of church
decorations. There were chandeliers and tabernacles
and reliquaries. Donna Elisa glanced up for a
moment, then went back to her own thoughts.
