Poor simple Pietro! his only pride was encased in his breeches pocket, and it lay in a few scraps of paper remembrances of his passengers. One and all lavished praise on Pietro!
He could not now meet Sir Henry, without an embarrassment of manner; and even in his intercourse with Thompson, his former jocularity seemed to have deserted him. "Good bye, Pietro!" said Delme, extending his hand. "I trust we may one day or other meet again."
Die all the world; 'tis nought to me: so that I die among the first." When he got home there was a man in a slouched hat walking briskly to and fro on the opposite side of the way. "Why, there is that cur again," thought Gerard. But in this state of mind, the circumstance made no impression whatever on him. Two nights after this Pietro Vanucci and Andrea sat waiting supper for Gerard.
Quick as thought the count seized the weapon, and placing it against Benedetto's forehead, said in a loud, clear voice: "All you people who are with this villain whom you call Count San Pietro ought, at least, to know whom your ally is. Listen attentively, gentlemen. The man to whom you bend the knee is an escaped galley slave he murdered his mother!"
We cut off the bends of the road by footpaths up the rocks, which we ascended in single file, one of the Americans going ahead and little Pietro with his staff and bundle bringing up the rear. The rarefied air we breathed, seven thousand feet above the sea, was like exhilarating gas. We felt no fatigue, but ran and shouted and threw snowballs, in the middle of August!
"Ah, they have found another brother!" he said, politely, and he began to point out to Kitty the various landmarks visible, the arsenal, the two asylums, San Pietro di Castello.

In an oblong picture is Pietro Niccolò Farnese, who is delivering Bologna, with this inscription below: PETRUS NICOLAUS, SEDIS ROMANÆ POTENTISSIMIS HOSTIBUS MEMORABILI PRÆLIO SUPERATIS, IMMINENTI OBSIDIONIS PERICULO BONONIAM LIBERAT, ANNO SALUTIS 1361.
Their destination was Venice, and their route lay through Bologna and Arqua. They had been so satisfied, under the guidance of their old vetturino, that Sir Henry made an arrangement, which induced him to be at Florence, at the time of their departure; and Pietro and Thompson were once more seated beside each other.
"The coffee does not please you?" he said at last. "You have no appetite?" I forced a smile. "Nay your words would take the edge off the keenest appetite ever born of the breath of the sea. Truly Naples affords but sorry entertainment to a stranger; is there naught to hear but stories of the dying and the dead?" Pietro put on an air that was almost apologetic.
And thereupon he mustered sufficient strength of mind to refrain from turning round any more, in spite of the impulses of his whole being. There is a spacious terrace on the summit of the incline. The church of San Pietro in Montorio stands there, on the spot where, as some say, St. Peter was crucified.
