The son of Alexander VI was, therefore, a few years younger than has hitherto been supposed, and this fact has an important bearing upon his short and terrible life. Mariana, therefore, and other authors who follow him, err in stating that Cæsar, Rodrigo's second son, was older than his brother Giovanni. In reality, Giovanni must have been two years older than Cæsar.
'Angelo, said she, 'has a garden surrounded with a brick wall, on the western side of which is a vineyard, and to that vineyard is a gate. And then she showed to the duke and Mariana two keys that Angelo had given her; and she said: 'This bigger key opens the vineyard gate; this other a little door which leads from the vineyard to the garden.
At the words, Nejdanov, who until then had scarcely noticed Mariana, who sat a little to one side, exchanged glances with her, and instantly felt that this solemn girl and he were of the same convictions, of the same stamp. She had made no impression on him whatever when Sipiagin had introduced them; then why did he exchange glances with her in particular?
"Immediate sentence and death is all I beg," was the reply. "Were you affianced to Mariana?" asked the Duke. "I was," said Angelo. "Then marry her instantly," said his master. "Marry them," he said to Friar Peter, "and return with them here." "Come hither, Isabel," said the Duke, in tender tones.
Mariana smiled for the first time. "I do not doubt your honour past, present, and to come," she began; "and I mean this quite sincerely. Your indignation is needless. I have brought no shame on your house. The young man whom you alluded to... yes, I have certainly... fallen in love with him." "You love Mr. Nejdanov?" "Yes, I love him." Valentina Mihailovna sat up straight in her chair.
Tell them we're mad about each other and that I am waiting for the smallest encouragement to go with you." Howat Penny left Mariana at the door, and went in with Polder. Provost was seated, with an open paper; Kingsfrere studying the photograph of Scalchi. "This," said Howat generally, "is my guest, James Polder."
It is enough for you to know that for the last two weeks I have been living in a large factory together with Mariana. We ran away from the Sipiagins on the day on which I last wrote to you. A friend has given us shelter here. For convenience sake I will call him Vassily. He is the chief here and an excellent man.
Mariana looked sternly at Valentina Mihailovna and Valentina Mihailovna looked at her. These two women did not love one another. Compared to her aunt Mariana seemed plain. She had a round face, a large aquiline nose, big bright grey eyes, fine eyebrows, and thin lips.
But I must tear myself away at last. I looked out of the window just now and saw a lovely star amidst the swiftly moving clouds. No matter how quickly they chased one another, they could not hide it from view. That star reminded me of you, Mariana.
She rang the bell and a servant entered. "I asked to have Mariana Vikentievna sent here. Has she not been told?" The servant had scarcely time to reply when a young girl appeared behind him in the doorway. She had on a loose dark blouse, and her hair was cut short. It was Mariana Vikentievna Sinitska, Sipiagin's niece on the mother's side.
