General
Kesselring
looked
uncomfortable
.
"
I
hope
it
wo
n't
come
to
that
,
Your
Eminence
.
But
I
took
an
oath
also
,
I
too
am
under
orders
.
I
must
do
as
my
Führer
wishes
.
"
"
You
'll
try
for
us
,
Herr
General
?
Please
,
you
must
!
I
was
in
Athens
some
years
ago
,
"
said
Archbishop
Ralph
quickly
,
leaning
forward
,
his
eyes
charmingly
wide
,
a
lock
of
white-sprinkled
hair
falling
across
his
brow
;
he
was
well
aware
of
his
effect
on
the
general
,
and
used
it
without
compunction
.
"
Have
you
been
in
Athens
,
sir
?
"
"
Yes
,
I
have
,
"
said
the
general
dryly
.
"
Then
I
'm
sure
you
know
the
story
.
How
it
took
men
of
relatively
modern
times
to
destroy
the
buildings
atop
the
Acropolis
?
Herr
General
,
Rome
stands
as
she
always
was
,
a
monument
to
two
thousand
years
of
care
,
attention
,
love
.
Please
,
I
beg
of
you
!
Do
n't
endanger
Rome
.
"
The
general
stared
at
him
in
startled
admiration
;
his
uniform
became
him
very
well
,
but
no
better
than
the
soutane
with
its
touch
of
imperial
purple
became
Archbishop
Ralph
.
He
,
too
,
had
the
look
of
a
soldier
,
a
soldier
's
sparely
beautiful
body
,
and
the
face
of
an
angel
.
So
must
the
Archangel
Michael
look
;
not
a
smooth
young
Renaissance
boy
but
an
aging
perfect
man
,
who
had
loved
Lucifer
,
fought
him
,
banished
Adam
and
Eve
,
slain
the
serpent
,
stood
at
God
's
right
hand
.
Did
he
know
how
he
looked
?
He
was
indeed
a
man
to
remember
.
"
I
shall
do
my
best
,
Your
Grace
,
I
promise
you
.
To
a
certain
extent
the
decision
is
mine
,
I
admit
it
.
I
am
,
as
you
know
,
a
civilized
man
.
But
you
're
asking
a
lot
.
If
I
declare
Rome
an
open
city
,
it
means
I
can
not
blow
up
her
bridges
or
convert
her
buildings
into
fortresses
,
and
that
might
well
be
to
Germany
's
eventual
disadvantage
.
What
assurances
do
I
have
that
Rome
wo
n't
repay
me
with
treachery
if
I
'm
kind
to
her
?
"
Cardinal
Vittorio
pursed
his
lips
and
made
kissing
noises
at
his
cat
,
an
elegant
Siamese
nowadays
;
he
smiled
gently
,
and
looked
at
the
Archbishop
.
"
Rome
would
never
repay
kindness
with
treachery
,
Herr
General
.
I
am
sure
when
you
do
find
the
time
to
visit
those
summering
at
Castel
Gandolfo
that
you
will
receive
the
same
assurances
.
Here
,
Kheng-see
,
my
sweetheart
!
Ah
,
what
a
lovely
girl
you
are
!
"
His
hands
pressed
it
down
on
his
scarlet
lap
,
caressed
it
.
"
An
unusual
animal
,
Your
Eminence
.
"
