"Ah, Benvenuto, so clever. You think of everything."-
"I think only of you, of your breath-taking beauty, my Lady."
She kissed him again and then pushed him gently back and stared into his eyes...
"You think only of me?" "Only of you, my Lady-upon my bonour." Hand over his heart he bowed low to her.
"Ah, but men are ceivers."
The next day Benvenuto went to work with a will on the peacock design salver. The Duke had seen to it, at the subtle hint from the Duchess, that sufficient golden Ingots were supplied.
In the afternoon the Duke went to the workshop. It held a sort of fascination for him, as a new toy. to a child.
"Well, well, Cellini, and what is all of this?"
Benvenuto was hammerlig to- such de-gether some ingots so that they were already fattened out into a large and imposing thick sheet of gold.
"My Lady!" Benvenuto cried, re- proachfully.
"And you never think of the Signorita Santini? She is also rather pretty."
"My Lady, Signorita Della is like a childhood playmate."
"One often falls in love with s childhood playmate.".
"It is true that I love her-I -could never tell you an untruth. But, my Lady. all that is a closed book. We have been together but seldom, and there has been naught but honourable affection between us. I repeat, that is a closed book." "I am sure of it, Benvenuto. Quickly, my adored, before the maid returns"
"A salver, my Lord-a salver that She in- her Excellency ordered. formed me that it was your desire for a great salver. expressly for serving roast peacock.".
"Quite so a clever idea of mine," the stupid Duke led.
"As clever an idea as ever I heard, my Lord See, here will be the motif for the rim," and Ben- venuto produced one of his own sketches, a portion of the design in clever detall.
.
"Here, my Lord," he went on, "I shall inset green gold for the shading of the feathers,”
"Yes, yes. Naturally. Exactly my There was another embrace, idea, Cellini. Er, by the way, can't They talked for a few moments you stop fighting?:. Again, you and Ascanio called softly, "Master, nearly killed my nephew, Mafio Really, I shall have to hang you someone comes!"

Benvenuto stepped out beckoned to him to enter.
The Drike Visits *6lt there," he ordered Ascanio sat down as commanded Benvenuto began to discuss the proposed silver as the serving mald entered with the design Surely enough, the Duchess had drawn roughly, but not without considerable skill for an amateur, a design for a salver. After a brief and very business-like talk, Benvenuto bowed low and the Duchess departed.
Now if it had been me, Cellini, your life would not have been worth that!"
The Duke strutted and snapped his fingers.
"I would have no nonsense, but run you through with a mortal thrust in a flash"
"Quite true, my Lord," Ben- venuto said, with flattering hum- bleness."Quite true. Had it been you I would have ded for my life, as I would have had no charice whatever.""
"Yes, yes, anyone would know that. Well, remember what I com - mand, no more silly running about killing people. And now on with your work on this salver that I have ordered." ..

With all speed, my Lord, and with all the skill, that the good God has bestowed upon me."
Benvenuto did work with great skill. He laboured incessantly for five more days, only now and then. at night, going to the home of some friends for a bit of revelry.
Then it was Polverinio who came to Benvenuto's workshop,
