It was then that Cesarini drew from under his pillow a long-cherished and carefully-concealed treasure. Oh, with what rapture had he first possessed himself of it! with what anxiety had it been watched and guarded! how many cunning stratagems and profound inventions had gone towards the baffling, the jealous search of the keeper and his myrmidons!
It was not grief it was not despair neither was it the cry of sharp and irrepressible anguish, from a suddenly blighted hope but it was the long pent-up and carefully-concealed burst of feeling which called aloud for vengeance red and reeking revenge upon all who had been instrumental in the sentence then delivered.
