Ricci tells us that on the side where we see the Madonna only the five medallions on the lower upright and the two last of the upper are original; while upon that of the Risen Christ, only the five medallions on the lower upright are untouched, all the rest is restoration.
Yet it was strange that she or, rather, Donna Laura should admit such a person as Mademoiselle Ricci to their salon. The mother, indeed, that afternoon had much reason to be socially grateful to the daughter. Curious contrast with the days when Kitty had been the mere troublesome appendage of her mother's life!
"Well, Italy is still the country of the knife," said Cliffe, lightly "and I could still hire a bravo or two in Venice if I wanted them." "Does the Ricci hire them?" Cliffe shrugged his shoulders.

They, however, deprived three of the family of the Albizzi, and three of that of the Ricci, of all the offices of government, except those of the Guelphic party, for three years; and among the deprived were Piero degli Albizzi and Uguccione de' Ricci. They forbade the citizens to assemble in the palace, except during the sittings of the Signory.
In eyes and hands he had become her lover again. The blissful minutes rolled away like waves that keep the sunshine out at sea. Her solitude in the villa was beguiled by the arrival of the score of an operatic scena, entitled "HAGAR," by Rocco Ricci, which she fancied that either Carlo or her dear old master had sent, and she devoured it. She thought it written expressly for her.
