Phil, the Fiddler Jack, very indignant at the insinuation that he had not sufficient cash, pulled out a handful of doubloons, and tossing two to the padrone, and asked him if he was satisfied. Mr. Midshipman Easy I don't think the padrone would send there to find you. Phil, the Fiddler Well, but then"—she laughed—"why shouldn't the padrone be a few minutes late? The Call of the Blood Besides, I do not want to carry too much, or the padrone will expect me to bring as much every day, and that I cannot do.

The Call of the Blood "I am glad it is you, Filippo," he said; "I thought it was the padrone, come to make me get up." Phil, the Fiddler "I have no doubt the little rascals deserve all they get," said the grocer, who would probably have found in the Italian padrone a congenial spirit. Phil, the Fiddler Again Phil was puzzled, for the suppers supplied by the padrone never varied, always consisting of bread and cheese. Phil, the Fiddler The money was earned by himself, though claimed by the padrone. Phil, the Fiddler "The padrone will—forgive us—when—he—sees how we have—hurried," said Hermione, laughing at her own fatigue. The Call of the Blood "Why do you say nothing?" exclaimed the padrone, stamping his foot. Phil, the Fiddler Why should he not earn money for his own benefit, as well as for the padrone? Phil, the Fiddler Phil turned pale and sick as he looked at the padrone preparing to inflict punishment. Phil, the Fiddler He felt that he hated the padrone with a fierce hatred. Phil, the Fiddler "I say the padrone is not here, signora!" The Call of the Blood The padrone was quite indifferent whether they were clean or not, and offered them no facilities for washing. Phil, the Fiddler These boys are wont to regard the padrone as above all law. Phil, the Fiddler The padrone did not care where he picked up his money, as long as he brought home a satisfactory amount. Phil, the Fiddler He needed medical attention, but the padrone was indifferent, and none of the boys would have dared to call a doctor without his permission. Phil, the Fiddler "He—you know how splendidly the padrone swims," she said. The Call of the Blood "Do you hear that, Pietro?" said the padrone, turning to his nephew. Phil, the Fiddler He looked forward to becoming a padrone himself some time, and seemed admirably fitted by nature to exercise the inhuman office. Phil, the Fiddler As he lay upon his bed, the padrone entered the room with a hurried step. Phil, the Fiddler Nonsense!" said the padrone, harshly; "you are a coward. Phil, the Fiddler "Gaspare," she continued, "do you know that when we meet the padrone, you and I, we shall look like two fools?" The Call of the Blood The padrone is his uncle, and treats him better than the rest of us. Phil, the Fiddler "He is no more sick than I am," scowled the padrone. Phil, the Fiddler When that happy moment arrived he resolved to inflict a little punishment on our hero on his own account, in anticipation of that which awaited him from his uncle, the padrone. Phil, the Fiddler "They were poor, and the padrone offered them money," answered Phil, forced to answer, though the subject was an unpleasant one. Phil, the Fiddler You've never—when he's been swimming with you, the padrone has never had anything of that kind, has he? The Call of the Blood The next morning Pietro and the padrone proceeded to Newark, as proposed. Phil, the Fiddler What had become of them Phil did not know, but he rightly concluded that they could not be any worse off than in the service of the padrone. Phil, the Fiddler A week after his signal failure in Newark, the padrone inserted an advertisement in the New York Herald, offering a reward of twenty-five dollars for the recovery of Phil. Phil, the Fiddler The padrone awaited his report at night with some impatience. Phil, the Fiddler Then Gaspare related the incident of his padrone's sinking in the sea. The Call of the Blood But he felt better now than at first, and less afraid of the padrone. Phil, the Fiddler However, he had enough to satisfy the rapacity of the padrone, and could afford to stop. Phil, the Fiddler Pietro, too, was silent, partly for the same reasons which influenced the padrone, partly because he was afraid of offending his uncle. Phil, the Fiddler No; the padrone would get hold of him if he did. Phil, the Fiddler "But"—another thought came to her—"but, Gaspare, after such a thing as that, how could you let the padrone go down to bathe alone?" The Call of the Blood It may be asked whether the padrone gave up all efforts to recover the young fiddler. Phil, the Fiddler Possessed of a warm and sympathetic heart, he never witnessed these cruel punishments without feeling that he would like to see the padrone suffering such pain as he inflicted upon others. Phil, the Fiddler But the padrone was not destined to recover him. Phil, the Fiddler There was only one regret he had at leaving the padrone. Phil, the Fiddler But he had insisted on saving his padrone from the sea when it was not necessary. The Call of the Blood "Are you going to leave the padrone?" asked Mrs. Hoffman, with interest. Phil, the Fiddler "What does the padrone do in that case?" Phil, the Fiddler That is excellent, especially when you are your own padrone. Phil, the Fiddler Phil looked admiringly at the boy who was not afraid of the padrone. Phil, the Fiddler He was on the point of telling Hermione that he was sure that the padrone had been murdered, and that he meant to avenge the murder. The Call of the Blood Like his comrades, he had been accustomed to think of the padrone as possessed of unlimited power, and never dreamed of anybody defying him, or resisting his threats. Phil, the Fiddler The padrone seized the stick and began to belabor him. Phil, the Fiddler To remain in the same city with the padrone was out of the question. Phil, the Fiddler When, therefore, it was near midnight, the padrone looked uneasily at the clock. Phil, the Fiddler Was the boy trying to protect his padrona or the memory of his padrone? The Call of the Blood "Here I am, signore padrone," answered the little boy, trembling, as he always did when addressed by the tyrant. Phil, the Fiddler Pietro brought a glass of water, which the padrone threw in the face of the fallen boy. Phil, the Fiddler "Are you not so strong as he, then?" asked the padrone, with a sneer. Phil, the Fiddler Pietro," said the padrone, with sudden thought, "he may escape from the front door. Phil, the Fiddler Had the padrone been there Lucrezia would not have ventured to come. The Call of the Blood The padrone did indeed feel a slight emotion of pity, but it was, unhappily, transient. Phil, the Fiddler Like most boys of his class, to him the padrone seemed all-powerful. Phil, the Fiddler Phil was a little alarmed, for, associating him with his recollections of the padrone, he did not know but that he would be punished for his temerity in entering without the teacher's invitation. Phil, the Fiddler But the sharp eyes of the padrone, which, despite his occupation, managed to see all that was going on, detected this action, and he became suspicious that Phil had bought supper out of his earnings. Phil, the Fiddler Gaspare said no more, but he shot a curious glance from padrona to padrone as he knelt down to lay some things in the trunk. The Call of the Blood He could have few good traits, or he would not have possessed the confidence of the padrone. Phil, the Fiddler They were the sons of Italian peasants who had been unable to resist the offers of the padrone, and for less than a hundred dollars each had sold his son into the cruelest slavery. Phil, the Fiddler Whenever the padrone felt suspicious of any of the boys, he usually sent them out in company with Pietro, who acted as a spy, faithfully reporting all that happened to his principal. Phil, the Fiddler "Now strip off your jacket," said the padrone, harshly. Phil, the Fiddler But Gaspare and the padrone were away on the mountain-top, and she could not resist being near to her padrona, for whom she already felt a very real affection and admiration. The Call of the Blood "Take off your jacket!" repeated the padrone, pitilessly. Phil, the Fiddler Both boys started, and looking up, recognized the padrone. Phil, the Fiddler Others were filled with indignation at the padrone, knowing how cruel and unjust were his exactions. Phil, the Fiddler Pietro opened the door, and called out in harsh tones: "Get up, all of you, or the padrone will be here with his stick!" Phil, the Fiddler He knew, too, that she wanted the padrone, her husband, to love it as she did. The Call of the Blood Over the stalwart Irishwoman neither he nor the padrone had any jurisdiction, and he was compelled to own himself ignominiously repulsed and baffled. Phil, the Fiddler "We are not wasting our time, padrone," said Phil, looking up fearlessly. Phil, the Fiddler He knew that what they were about to do would be a heinous crime in the eyes of the padrone. Phil, the Fiddler "I shall tell the padrone," he said to himself. Phil, the Fiddler Oh, signora, there is not another like the padrone. The Call of the Blood "If I were the padrone, I would let him taste the stick again." Phil, the Fiddler "Then you have been idle," said the padrone, frowning. Phil, the Fiddler Moreover, it belonged to the padrone, and however innocent Phil might be as regarded its destruction, his tyrannical master was sure to call him to heavy account for it. Phil, the Fiddler He had plenty of time before him, as he would not be missed by the padrone until he failed to make his appearance at night. Phil, the Fiddler Here Gaspare made a grimace at Sebastiano, who answered, calmly: "Yes, he has asked for you to come with the padrone." The Call of the Blood "He is in Newark," said the padrone, confidently. Phil, the Fiddler "Attend to your own affairs, little scrape-grace," said the padrone, roughly. Phil, the Fiddler It was with very much the same air that Pietro in the evening entered the presence of the padrone. Phil, the Fiddler "I will come in and take him," said the padrone, furiously. Phil, the Fiddler So could he have been with a padrone had fate made his situation in life a different one. The Call of the Blood But Phil might yet be taken—he probably would be, sooner or later, Pietro thought—and then his falsehood would be found out, and he would in consequence lose the confidence of the padrone. Phil, the Fiddler "Now, go to work, both of you," said the padrone, harshly. Phil, the Fiddler He had just commenced a new tune, being at that time ten rods from the house, when his watchful eyes detected the approach of Pietro, and, more formidable still, the padrone. Phil, the Fiddler The distance was so trifling that they had seen Phil enter the house, and the padrone, having a contempt for the physical powers of woman, followed boldly. Phil, the Fiddler "It is not for a servant to forgive his padrone, signorino," said the boy, but rather proudly. The Call of the Blood He sprang toward him, but had barely seized him by the arm, when the gigantic form of the Irishman appeared, and the padrone found himself in his powerful grasp. Phil, the Fiddler All this money was to go into the hands of the padrone. Phil, the Fiddler "I'll have you arrested," said the padrone, furiously, writhing vainly to get himself free. Phil, the Fiddler At length the padrone was compelled to own himself baffled and give up the search. Phil, the Fiddler You are good to think of your padrone, but I shall be quite content. The Call of the Blood The padrone was sure not to forgive an offense like this. Phil, the Fiddler The padrone, still suspicious, plunging his hands into Phil's pockets, but in vain. Phil, the Fiddler He was not afraid but that he could earn his own living, and fare better than he did at present, when out of his earnings and those of his comrades the padrone was growing rich. Phil, the Fiddler It would enable him to get out of the city, which would be absolutely necessary, since, if he remained, the padrone would send Pietro for him and get him back. Phil, the Fiddler His instinct had told him upon the terrace that the padrone was there. The Call of the Blood "But what will your padrone say when you come home without it?" Phil, the Fiddler The padrone, accustomed to judge by appearances, instantly divined this. Phil, the Fiddler It was a tempting invitation, but, on the other hand, if he remained in the city till the next day he might be in danger from the padrone. Phil, the Fiddler "I am afraid the padrone would catch me," he said. Phil, the Fiddler He remembered, too, from what direction the padrone came towards the caffè when the sun was up—and he knew. The Call of the Blood "Do you think he has run away?" asked the padrone, suspiciously. Phil, the Fiddler "I think I should enjoy giving your padrone a horsewhipping," said the gentleman, impetuously. Phil, the Fiddler The padrone heard the cry, but in his impetuosity he did not heed it. Phil, the Fiddler The Irishman seized the padrone, and, lifting him from the floor, carried him to the window, despite his struggles, and, thrusting him out, let him drop. Phil, the Fiddler A tiny path wound steeply down from here to the rocks below, and on it, just under the concealing crest of the land, stood the padrone with Maddalena. The Call of the Blood It shifted the responsibility from his shoulders, and he was privately convinced that Mrs. McGuire would prove a more formidable antagonist than the padrone imagined. Phil, the Fiddler If your padrone beats you badly, run away from him. Phil, the Fiddler If the padrone got worsted, it would show that he, Pietro, need not be ashamed of his defeat. Phil, the Fiddler Tell her not to let my father sell my little brother to a padrone, or he may die far away, as I am dying. Phil, the Fiddler Perhaps he felt that to-day it would be useless to try to govern the actions of his padrone. The Call of the Blood Though he and his friends had again gained a victory over Pietro and the padrone, he thought it would not be prudent to remain in Newark any longer. Phil, the Fiddler The padrone——" "Will beat us at any rate. Phil, the Fiddler Of the padrone I have only further to say that some months later he got into trouble. Phil, the Fiddler In a low drinking saloon an altercation arose between him and another ruffian one evening, when the padrone, in his rage, drew a knife, and stabbed his adversary. Phil, the Fiddler "I must have a table for my padrone," he said. The Call of the Blood What could you do?" repeated the padrone, furiously; "you could push her aside, run into the house, and secure the boy. Phil, the Fiddler Why should the padrone ask him if he wanted his supper? Phil, the Fiddler After eating heartily they went to bed, and for one night the establishment ran itself much more satisfactorily to the boys than if the padrone had been present. Phil, the Fiddler It may readily be imagined that this imbitters the padrone's imprisonment. Phil, the Fiddler He was his own employer, as long as he kept out of the clutches of the padrone. Phil, the Fiddler The padrone would not be restrained any longer. Phil, the Fiddler "Perhaps," continued the padrone, meeting no answer, "you would like to have coffee and roast beef." Phil, the Fiddler As the guardian of the peace marched off with Pietro on one side and the padrone on the other, Mrs. McGuire sat down on a chair and laughed till she cried. Phil, the Fiddler When he does," said the padrone, frowning, "I will beat him for being so late. Phil, the Fiddler "Then you will be glad to hear," said the padrone, with a refinement of cruelty, "that I shall beat him worse than last night for staying out so late." Phil, the Fiddler "Did he ever speak to you of running away?" asked the padrone, with a sudden thought. Phil, the Fiddler If the padrone had had a heart, this generous request would have touched it; but he was not troubled in that way. Phil, the Fiddler He was in the employ of a different padrone. Phil, the Fiddler The padrone picked himself up, only to meet with another disaster. Phil, the Fiddler A passing policeman had heard Mrs. McGuire's cries, and on hearing her account had arrested Pietro, and was just in time to arrest the padrone also, on the charge of forcibly entering the house. Phil, the Fiddler |
