THE GOD-SISTER

55

and said that she could not be received that day.
Should she be content with that ? Oh, no; oh, no !

“Tell the signorina that I am going to wait here
the whole day, for I must speak to her.”

“The signorina is going to move out of the
palace in half an hour,” said the servant.

Giannita was beside herself. “But I am her
god-sister, her god-sister, do you not understand ?” she
said to the man. “I must speak to her.” The
servant smiled, but did not move.

But Giannita would not be turned away. Was
she not sent by God? He must understand,
understand, she said, and raised her voice. She was from
Diamante and had not been in Catania for twelve
years. Until yesterday afternoon at four o’clock she
had not thought of coming here. . He must
understand, not until yesterday afternoon at four o’clock.

The servant stood motionless. Giannita was ready
to tell him the whole story to move him, when the
door was thrown open. Her god-sister stood on the
threshold.

“Who is speaking of yesterday at four o’clock?”
she said.

“It is a stranger, Signorina Micaela.”

Then Giannita rushed forward. It was not at all
a stranger. It was her god-sister from Diamante,
who came here twelve years ago with Donna Elisa.
Did she not remember her? Did she not remember
that they had divided a pomegranate?”

The signorina did not listen to that. “What was
it that happened yesterday at four o’clock?” she
asked, with great anxiety.

“I then got God’s command to go to you,
god-sister,” said Giannita.
