Go
on
,
Signor
Pastrini
,
"
continued
Franz
,
smiling
at
his
friend
's
susceptibility
.
"
To
what
class
of
society
does
he
belong
?
"
"
He
was
a
shepherd-boy
attached
to
the
farm
of
the
Count
of
San
--
Felice
,
situated
between
Palestrina
and
the
lake
of
Gabri
;
he
was
born
at
Pampinara
,
and
entered
the
count
's
service
when
he
was
five
years
old
;
his
father
was
also
a
shepherd
,
who
owned
a
small
flock
,
and
lived
by
the
wool
and
the
milk
,
which
he
sold
at
Rome
.
When
quite
a
child
,
the
little
Vampa
displayed
a
most
extraordinary
precocity
.
One
day
,
when
he
was
seven
years
old
,
he
came
to
the
curate
of
Palestrina
,
and
asked
to
be
taught
to
read
;
it
was
somewhat
difficult
,
for
he
could
not
quit
his
flock
;
but
the
good
curate
went
every
day
to
say
mass
at
a
little
hamlet
too
poor
to
pay
a
priest
and
which
,
having
no
other
name
,
was
called
Borgo
;
he
told
Luigi
that
he
might
meet
him
on
his
return
,
and
that
then
he
would
give
him
a
lesson
,
warning
him
that
it
would
be
short
,
and
that
he
must
profit
as
much
as
possible
by
it
.
The
child
accepted
joyfully
.
Every
day
Luigi
led
his
flock
to
graze
on
the
road
that
leads
from
Palestrina
to
Borgo
;
every
day
,
at
nine
o'clock
in
the
morning
,
the
priest
and
the
boy
sat
down
on
a
bank
by
the
wayside
,
and
the
little
shepherd
took
his
lesson
out
of
the
priest
's
breviary
.
At
the
end
of
three
months
he
had
learned
to
read
.
This
was
not
enough
--
he
must
now
learn
to
write
.
The
priest
had
a
writing
teacher
at
Rome
make
three
alphabets
--
one
large
,
one
middling
,
and
one
small
;
and
pointed
out
to
him
that
by
the
help
of
a
sharp
instrument
he
could
trace
the
letters
on
a
slate
,
and
thus
learn
to
write
.
The
same
evening
,
when
the
flock
was
safe
at
the
farm
,
the
little
Luigi
hastened
to
the
smith
at
Palestrina
,
took
a
large
nail
,
heated
and
sharpened
it
,
and
formed
a
sort
of
stylus
.
The
next
morning
he
gathered
an
armful
of
pieces
of
slate
and
began
.
At
the
end
of
three
months
he
had
learned
to
write
.
The
curate
,
astonished
at
his
quickness
and
intelligence
,
made
him
a
present
of
pens
,
paper
,
and
a
penknife
.

This
demanded
new
effort
,
but
nothing
compared
to
the
first
;
at
the
end
of
a
week
he
wrote
as
well
with
this
pen
as
with
the
stylus
.
The
curate
related
the
incident
to
the
Count
of
San
--
Felice
,
who
sent
for
the
little
shepherd
,
made
him
read
and
write
before
him
,
ordered
his
attendant
to
let
him
eat
with
the
domestics
,
and
to
give
him
two
piastres
a
month
.
With
this
,
Luigi
purchased
books
and
pencils
.
He
applied
his
imitative
powers
to
everything
,
and
,
like
Giotto
,
when
young
,
he
drew
on
his
slate
sheep
,
houses
,
and
trees
.
Then
,
with
his
knife
,
he
began
to
carve
all
sorts
of
objects
in
wood
;
it
was
thus
that
Pinelli
,
the
famous
sculptor
,
had
commenced
.
"
A
girl
of
six
or
seven
--
that
is
,
a
little
younger
than
Vampa
--
tended
sheep
on
a
farm
near
Palestrina
;
she
was
an
orphan
,
born
at
Valmontone
and
was
named
Teresa
.
The
two
children
met
,
sat
down
near
each
other
,
let
their
flocks
mingle
together
,
played
,
laughed
,
and
conversed
together
;
in
the
evening
they
separated
the
Count
of
San
--
Felice
's
flock
from
those
of
Baron
Cervetri
,
and
the
children
returned
to
their
respective
farms
,
promising
to
meet
the
next
morning
.
The
next
day
they
kept
their
word
,
and
thus
they
grew
up
together
.
Vampa
was
twelve
,
and
Teresa
eleven
.
And
yet
their
natural
disposition
revealed
itself
.
Beside
his
taste
for
the
fine
arts
,
which
Luigi
had
carried
as
far
as
he
could
in
his
solitude
,
he
was
given
to
alternating
fits
of
sadness
and
enthusiasm
,
was
often
angry
and
capricious
,
and
always
sarcastic
.
None
of
the
lads
of
Pampinara
,
Palestrina
,
or
Valmontone
had
been
able
to
gain
any
influence
over
him
or
even
to
become
his
companion
.
His
disposition
(
always
inclined
to
exact
concessions
rather
than
to
make
them
)
kept
him
aloof
from
all
friendships
.
Teresa
alone
ruled
by
a
look
,
a
word
,
a
gesture
,
this
impetuous
character
,
which
yielded
beneath
the
hand
of
a
woman
,
and
which
beneath
the
hand
of
a
man
might
have
broken
,
but
could
never
have
been
bended
.
Teresa
was
lively
and
gay
,
but
coquettish
to
excess
.
The
two
piastres
that
Luigi
received
every
month
from
the
Count
of
San
--
Felice
's
steward
,
and
the
price
of
all
the
little
carvings
in
wood
he
sold
at
Rome
,
were
expended
in
ear-rings
,
necklaces
,
and
gold
hairpins
.
So
that
,
thanks
to
her
friend
's
generosity
,
Teresa
was
the
most
beautiful
and
the
best-attired
peasant
near
Rome
.
The
two
children
grew
up
together
,
passing
all
their
time
with
each
other
,
and
giving
themselves
up
to
the
wild
ideas
of
their
different
characters
.
Thus
,
in
all
their
dreams
,
their
wishes
,
and
their
conversations
,
Vampa
saw
himself
the
captain
of
a
vessel
,
general
of
an
army
,
or
governor
of
a
province
.
Teresa
saw
herself
rich
,
superbly
attired
,
and
attended
by
a
train
of
liveried
domestics
.
Then
,
when
they
had
thus
passed
the
day
in
building
castles
in
the
air
,
they
separated
their
flocks
,
and
descended
from
the
elevation
of
their
dreams
to
the
reality
of
their
humble
position
.
"
One
day
the
young
shepherd
told
the
count
's
steward
that
he
had
seen
a
wolf
come
out
of
the
Sabine
mountains
,
and
prowl
around
his
flock
.

The
steward
gave
him
a
gun
;
this
was
what
Vampa
longed
for
.
This
gun
had
an
excellent
barrel
,
made
at
Breschia
,
and
carrying
a
ball
with
the
precision
of
an
English
rifle
;
but
one
day
the
count
broke
the
stock
,
and
had
then
cast
the
gun
aside
.
This
,
however
,
was
nothing
to
a
sculptor
like
Vampa
;
he
examined
the
broken
stock
,
calculated
what
change
it
would
require
to
adapt
the
gun
to
his
shoulder
,
and
made
a
fresh
stock
,
so
beautifully
carved
that
it
would
have
fetched
fifteen
or
twenty
piastres
,
had
he
chosen
to
sell
it
.
But
nothing
could
be
farther
from
his
thoughts
.
For
a
long
time
a
gun
had
been
the
young
man
's
greatest
ambition
.
In
every
country
where
independence
has
taken
the
place
of
liberty
,
the
first
desire
of
a
manly
heart
is
to
possess
a
weapon
,
which
at
once
renders
him
capable
of
defence
or
attack
,
and
,
by
rendering
its
owner
terrible
,
often
makes
him
feared
.
From
this
moment
Vampa
devoted
all
his
leisure
time
to
perfecting
himself
in
the
use
of
his
precious
weapon
;
he
purchased
powder
and
ball
,
and
everything
served
him
for
a
mark
--
the
trunk
of
some
old
and
moss-grown
olivetree
,
that
grew
on
the
Sabine
mountains
;
the
fox
,
as
he
quitted
his
earth
on
some
marauding
excursion
;
the
eagle
that
soared
above
their
heads
:
and
thus
he
soon
became
so
expert
,
that
Teresa
overcame
the
terror
she
at
first
felt
at
the
report
,
and
amused
herself
by
watching
him
direct
the
ball
wherever
he
pleased
,
with
as
much
accuracy
as
if
he
placed
it
by
hand
.
"
One
evening
a
wolf
emerged
from
a
pine-wood
hear
which
they
were
usually
stationed
,
but
the
wolf
had
scarcely
advanced
ten
yards
ere
he
was
dead
.
Proud
of
this
exploit
,
Vampa
took
the
dead
animal
on
his
shoulders
,
and
carried
him
to
the
farm
.
These
exploits
had
gained
Luigi
considerable
reputation
.
The
man
of
superior
abilities
always
finds
admirers
,
go
where
he
will
.
He
was
spoken
of
as
the
most
adroit
,
the
strongest
,
and
the
most
courageous
contadino
for
ten
leagues
around
;
and
although
Teresa
was
universally
allowed
to
be
the
most
beautiful
girl
of
the
Sabines
,
no
one
had
ever
spoken
to
her
of
love
,
because
it
was
known
that
she
was
beloved
by
Vampa
.
And
yet
the
two
young
people
had
never
declared
their
affection
;
they
had
grown
together
like
two
trees
whose
roots
are
mingled
,
whose
branches
intertwined
,
and
whose
intermingled
perfume
rises
to
the
heavens
.
Only
their
wish
to
see
each
other
had
become
a
necessity
,
and
they
would
have
preferred
death
to
a
day
's
separation
.
Teresa
was
sixteen
,
and
Vampa
seventeen
.
About
this
time
,
a
band
of
brigands
that
had
established
itself
in
the
Lepini
mountains
began
to
be
much
spoken
of
.
The
brigands
have
never
been
really
extirpated
from
the
neighborhood
of
Rome
.
Sometimes
a
chief
is
wanted
,
but
when
a
chief
presents
himself
he
rarely
has
to
wait
long
for
a
band
of
followers
.
"
The
celebrated
Cucumetto
,
pursued
in
the
Abruzzo
,
driven
out
of
the
kingdom
of
Naples
,
where
he
had
carried
on
a
regular
war
,
had
crossed
the
Garigliano
,
like
Manfred
,
and
had
taken
refuge
on
the
banks
of
the
Amasine
between
Sonnino
and
Juperno
.
He
strove
to
collect
a
band
of
followers
,
and
followed
the
footsteps
of
Decesaris
and
Gasperone
,
whom
he
hoped
to
surpass
.
Many
young
men
of
Palestrina
,
Frascati
,
and
Pampinara
had
disappeared
.
Their
disappearance
at
first
caused
much
disquietude
;
but
it
was
soon
known
that
they
had
joined
Cucumetto
.
After
some
time
Cucumetto
became
the
object
of
universal
attention
;
the
most
extraordinary
traits
of
ferocious
daring
and
brutality
were
related
of
him
.
One
day
he
carried
off
a
young
girl
,
the
daughter
of
a
surveyor
of
Frosinone
.
The
bandit
's
laws
are
positive
;
a
young
girl
belongs
first
to
him
who
carries
her
off
,
then
the
rest
draw
lots
for
her
,
and
she
is
abandoned
to
their
brutality
until
death
relieves
her
sufferings
.
When
their
parents
are
sufficiently
rich
to
pay
a
ransom
,
a
messenger
is
sent
to
negotiate
;
the
prisoner
is
hostage
for
the
security
of
the
messenger
;
should
the
ransom
be
refused
,
the
prisoner
is
irrevocably
lost
.
The
young
girl
's
lover
was
in
Cucumetto
's
troop
;
his
name
was
Carlini
.
When
she
recognized
her
lover
,
the
poor
girl
extended
her
arms
to
him
,
and
believed
herself
safe
;
but
Carlini
felt
his
heart
sink
,
for
he
but
too
well
knew
the
fate
that
awaited
her
.
