In 1490 neither of them was in Rome; the former was in Spain, and the latter was studying at the University of Perugia, which he later left for Pisa. As early as 1488 Cæsar must have attended one of these institutions, probably the University of Perugia, for in that year Paolo Pompilio dedicated to him his Syllabica, a work on the art of versification.
"Gianbattista had the bad taste to attack me this morning here in my own studio," said Marzio, turning round and facing his daughter. "He put his hands upon my face, do you understand? He would have stabbed me with a chisel if Paolo had not interfered. Do you understand that? Out of deference for your affections I did not kill him, as I might have done.
It was a crafty arrangement on Bentivogli's part, for, over and above the pacification of Cesare and the advantage of an alliance with him, he gained as a result the alliance also of those famous condottieri Vitelli and Orsini, both bitter enemies of Florence the latter intent upon the restoration of the Medici, the former impatient to avenge upon the Signory the execution of his brother Paolo.
The women are sure to beat you down, but you will make ten or twelve soldi for yourselves." Paolo handed the crown to the old man. "How had we better take this, Paolo?" Hector asked, as the old man, chuckling with satisfaction at having escaped a toilsome journey, turned to retrace his steps. "There is room for us both between the shafts," Paolo said, "one behind the other.
As soon as they had passed Hector said, "Come with me, Paolo, and see the cardinal; there is no fear of any renewal of the attack now. "Do you know who it was I wounded, Paolo?" he asked as they hurried along. "No, master, I was too busy myself to look round." "It was Beaufort himself; I ran him through, low down in the shoulder." Paolo uttered an exclamation of dismay.
But my pen has run away with men I was thinking of Paolo, and what a pleasant thing it is to have one of those child-like, warm-hearted, attachable, cheerful, contented, humble, faithful, companionable, but never presuming grownup children of the South waiting on one, as if everything he could do for one was a pleasure, and carrying a look of content in his face which makes every one who meets him happier for a glimpse of his features.
This was the place where the public opinion of Marechiaro was formed, where fame was made and characters were taken away. He paused for an instant by the church, then went on under the clock tower and came to the post. "Any letters for me, Don Paolo?" he asked of the postmaster. The old man saluted him languidly through the peep-hole. "Si, signore, ce ne sono."
On reflection it seemed true enough, and altogether reasonable, but Paolo knew in his heart what a sensation of repulsion, not to say loathing, he would experience if he should ever be called upon to use in the sacred services a vessel of his brother's making.
At the instant the pirate disappeared, a person rushed forward, and seizing her in his arms, exclaimed, "Haste, signora, from hence, or destruction awaits us." She knew Paolo Montifalcone's voice; and believing that the pirate had intended to blow up the tower, she fancied that he had come to save her, nor attempted to struggle in his grasp.
I will, however, endeavour to arrange that you shall remain with him to attend on him. Tell her that, as soon as I have dispatched Paolo, I will go myself to meet her." While Nina was speaking, she took out of a chest the capote she had worn on the previous occasion, and, throwing it over her shoulders, led the way down the steps.
