This wider view showed him all Lord Mark Lord Mark as encountered, several weeks before, the day of the first visit of each to Palazzo Leporelli.

He had however only to cross again the threshold of Palazzo Leporelli to see all the elements of the business compose, as painters called it, differently.

What he had been doing was proof of a huge interest as well as of a huge fee; yet when the Leporelli gondola again, and somewhat tardily, approached, his companion, watching from the water-steps, studied his fine closed face as much as ever in vain.

This was in the course of his very first walk apart, a walk replete with impressions to which he responded with force. He had been almost without cessation, since his arrival, at Palazzo Leporelli, where, as happened, a turn of bad weather on the second day had kept the whole party continuously at home.

Palazzo Leporelli held its history still in its great lap, even like a painted idol, a solemn puppet hung about with decorations.

That he couldn't, on any basis actually serving, return to the palace this was as solid to him, every whit, as the other feature of his case, the fact of the publicity attaching to his proscription through his not having taken himself off. He had been seen often enough in the Leporelli gondola.

It was as if she had had from him a kind of expert professional measure of what he was in a position, at a stretch, to undertake for her; the thoroughness of which, for that matter, she could closely compare with a looseness on Sir Luke Strett's part that at least in Palazzo Leporelli when mornings were fine showed as almost amateurish.

Densher had not been at Palazzo Leporelli among the mere receivable, but had taken his place once for all among the involved and included, so that on being so flagrantly braved he recognised after a moment the propriety of a further appeal. Neither of the two ladies, it appeared, received, and yet Pasquale was not prepared to say that either was poco bene.
