The next day the ambassadors were granted an audience, at which Marino Sanuto, as a member of Foscari's suite, was himself present. His Majesty, whom the Venetian described as a magnificent-looking man of thirty-seven, with long hair already turning white, and perfect manners, received them at the top of the grand staircase, on the first floor of the Castello.

The Dago couldn't or wouldn't understand. Said we'd better come in when the boss was there. We had to take the eleven o'clock to Boston that night and had only time to catch the train. When I got back at six-ten to-night I drove to Foscari's, found the Irishman and the boss, heard how he'd pulled your leg paid the bill $9.60, wasn't it? that's what he said it was, anyhow and here's your picture!

"To-morrow? Are you then certain that I shall not be placed under arrest?" "Yes, for I know that the general is a man of honour." "I am of the same opinion. Well, let us go on board your felucca. We will embark together after midnight." "Why not now?" "Because I will not run the risk of spending the night on board M. Foscari's bastarda.
