At this information,Giulio repressed the confession which was on the point of escaping from his soul,and repeated resolutely to himself: "No,papa,I shall tell you nothing;I shall guard my secret for the sake of beingable to work for you;I will recompense you in another way for the sorrow which I occasion you;I will study enough at school to win promotion;the important point is to help you to earn our living,and to relieve you of the fatigue which is killing you."
And so he went on,and two months more passed,of labor by night and weakness by day,of desperate efforts on the part of the son,and of bitter reproaches on the part of the father.But the worst of it was,that the latter grew gradually colder towards the boy,only addressed him rarely,as though he had been a recreant son,of whom there was nothing any longer to be expected,and almost avoided meeting his glance.And Giulio perceived this and suffered from it,and when his father's back was turned,he threw him a furtive ldss,stretching forth his face with a sentiment of sad and dutiful tenderness;and between sorrow and fatigue,he grew thin and pale,and he was constrained to still further neglect his studies.And he understood well that there must be an end to it some day,and every evening he said tohimself,"I will not get up to-night";but when the clock strack twelve, at the moment when he should have vigorously reaffirmed his resolution,he felt remorse:it seemed to him,that by remaining in bed he should be failing in a duty,and robbing his father and the family of a lira.And he rose,thinking that some night his father would wake up and discover him,or that he would discover the deception by accident,by counting the wrappers twice;and then all would come to a natural end,without any act of his will,which he did not feel the courage to exert. And thus he went on.
But one evening at dinner his father spoke a word which was decisive so far as he was concerned.His mother looked at him,and as it seemed to her that he was more ill and weak than usual,she said to him,"Giulio,you are ill." And then,turning to his father with anxiety: "Giulio is ill.See how pale he is Giulio,my dear,how do you feel?"
