Diamante, as the elder boy was called, was pleased to be admired so much by the little new pupil; but as time went on, his pride in his own work grew less as he saw with amazement how quickly Filippo's little brown fingers learned to draw straighter lines and more beautiful curves than any he could manage.

Together Filippo and Diamante stood and watched with awe, learning lessons there which the good father had not been able to teach.

Many people now were proud to know the famous young painter, but his old companion Fra Diamante was still the friend he loved best.

Take good care of him, friend Diamante,' cried Lucrezia; and she stood watching until their figures disappeared at the end of the long white road, and then went inside to wait patiently for their return.

Surely that figure riding so slowly along was Fra Diamante? But where was Filippo, and why did his friend ride so slowly? When he came near and entered the house she looked into his face, and all the joy faded from her eyes.
