"My dear sir," said Monte Cristo, "I understand your emotion; you must have time to recover yourself. I will, in the meantime, go and prepare the young man for this much-desired interview, for I presume that he is not less impatient for it than yourself." "I should quite imagine that to be the case," said Cavalcanti. "Well, in a quarter of an hour he shall be with you." "You will bring him, then?
Guido Cavalcanti disdained the ignorant folk who believed in the immortality of the soul. The following phrase by him was quoted: 'The death of man is exactly similar to that of brutes. Later, when antique beauty was excavated from ruins, the Christian style of art seemed sad. The painters that worked in the churches and cloisters were neither devout nor chaste.
Am I a woman, or a man without sorrows, that you need to stand hesitating? Whatever it may be, speak, then, and tell me." "He is in the clutches of the Holy Office," answered Cavalcanti miserably. Galeotto looked at him, his pallor increasing.
"Messer Guido Cavalcanti is a poet," Dante objected, firmly, yet gently, for he was speaking to his elder, and to a very great and famous man, and he always carried himself with a becoming reverence to those that should be revered. The scholar smiled a little acidly. "He is of a noble house, and he may divert himself with such trifles and no harm done."
And there was trouble with the servants; they were almost insolent. I couldn't understand. I don't know when it dawned on me that the old Baron Cavalcanti had been right when he said they were not my kind of people. But I wanted to get away, wanted it desperately."

As to your rank, an annual income of 50,000 livres will enable you to support it admirably.

Monte Cristo watched him till he disappeared, and then touched a spring in a panel made to look like a picture, which, in sliding partly from the frame, discovered to view a small opening, so cleverly contrived that it revealed all that was passing in the drawing-room now occupied by Cavalcanti and Andrea.
When Benedetto entered the hall he was neither Malvernet, Cavalcanti or Fagiano. He was simply Benedetto. "Whoever you are," cried the vicomte, "I implore you to help me bring this poor child out of here." "Vicomte," replied Benedetto, coldly, "I will not help you, and you'll not bring this woman away from here." "I will shoot you down like a dog," said Spero, contemptuously.
