"What!" said she, "without promising the servants a share without even feeing them, to let the signors see thy merchandise! As well have flung it into Tiber." "Well-a-day!" sighed Gerard. "Then how is an artist to find a patron? for artists are poor, not rich." "By going to some city nobler and not so greedy as this," said Teresa. "La corte Romana non vuol' pecora senza lana."

That night Terence with his men having on the 4th marched along the hills parallel to the road, made a forced march, crossed the road and took up a position on the spur of the mountains between Montalegre and the river.
