On my arrival at Pisa I had made an appointment to see him, and as we now sat together in his narrow cell, I questioned him whether, by mere chance, he had ever heard of a certain lady named Yolanda Romanelli. It was quite a chance shot of mine, but I knew that he came from the same district as the lady. He was evasive. He had heard of her, he admitted, but would go no further.
He will come into our box directly this act is over, and then I have only to say, 'I have decided; there is my hand; I will be your wife, and then all would be settled! I should be Princess! Princess Romanelli! Princess Bettina! Bettina Romanelli! The names go well together; they sound very pretty. Would it amuse me to be a princess? Yes and no!
Accordingly, all the guests repaired to his superb gallery, which had just been brilliantly decorated with paintings by Romanelli, and here, spread out upon countless tables, we saw pieces of rare porcelain, scent-bottles of foreign make, watches of every size and shape, chains of pearls or of coral, diamond buckles and rings, gold boxes adorned by portraits set in pearls or in emeralds, fans of matchless elegance, in a word, all the rarest and most costly things that luxury and fashion could invent.
"Prince Romanelli." "For one! And the other?" "Monsieur de Montessan." "Those are the two! It is just that. Those two would be acceptable, but only acceptable, and that is not enough." This is why Bettina awaited with extreme impatience the day when she should leave Paris, and take up their abode in Longueval. She was a little tired of so much pleasure, so much success, so many offers of marriage.
And yet was not Zuccari a frequent visitor at the Palazzo Romanelli, for it was there I had first met him? In any case, it was curious that Zuccari and young Rinaldo Ricci should be friends apparently unknown to either the Marchesa or to Flavia. In order to probe the mystery I decided that it would be necessary to learn more of Zuccari's movements.
"Report says that that will be a match; that it is already settled." "A match may be arranged, but with Montessan, not with Romanelli. Ah! at last! Here is the ballet." They ceased to talk. The ballet in Aida lasts only five minutes, and for those five minutes they had come.
Well, one day I was so foolish as to say to Susie, that, in extremity, I might accept the Prince Romanelli. Now, just imagine what she did. The Turners were at Trouville, Susie had arranged a little plot. We lunched with the Prince, but the result was disastrous. Accept him! The two hours that I passed with him, I passed in asking myself how I could have said such a thing.
The Mysteries of the Life and Death of Jesus Christ, one set is called, and is the property of the Cathedral of St. John, the Divine, in New York, donated by Mrs. Clarke. Cardinal Francesco Barberini chose as his artists those of the school of Pietro di Cortona with Giovanni Francesco Romanelli as the head master.
"Look at her, at the line of her neck, the fall of her shoulders still a young girl, and already a woman." "Yes, she is charming, and tolerably well off into the bargain." "Fifteen millions of her own, and the silver mine is still productive." "Berulle told me twenty-five millions, and he is very well up in American affairs." "Twenty-five millions! A pretty haul for Romanelli!" "What? Romanelli!"
The director of the factory was Giacomo della Riviera allied with M. Wauters, the Fleming. The former was especially concerned with the pieces now owned by the Cathedral of St. John, the Divine, in New York, and which are signed with his name. Romanelli was the artist of the cartoons, and his fame is almost too well known to dwell upon.
