The critical essay at the end of the third volume was furnished by the Abbate Nicola Spedalieri, whose zeal has gradually swelled to a more solid confutation in two quarto volumes. Shall I be excused for not having read them? The brutal insolence of Mr.
"Anyhow," said the Abbate indignantly, "the Lieutenant cannot get the money here by magic." The two Ricardis laughed; but instantly restrained their mirth. Olivo once more addressed the Marchese. "It is plain that you must grant Lieutenant Lorenzi leave to depart." "Yes, if he gives me a pledge," exclaimed the Marchese with flashing eyes, as if this idea gave him peculiar delight.
But now, when Andrea's brother, Abbate di San Fruttuoso came to die, and it was known that he had left the Admiral much property close to Naples, the Pope, swearing that the estates of an ecclesiastic necessarily returned to the Church, claimed Andrea's inheritance. But the Admiral thought differently.
Olivo introduced him as Abbate Rossi, and Casanova at once recognized him as the man he had met twenty-seven years earlier upon a market boat plying between Venice and Chioggia. "You had one eye bandaged," said Casanova, who rarely missed a chance of showing off his excellent memory.
You think so, don't you?" he said, turning to the Marchesa with a smile. "You'd better!" said the Marchesa, laughing gaily. As she spoke she seated herself at the table, beside Olivo, with Lorenzi on the other hand. Opposite sat Amalia, between the Marchese and Casanova. Next to Casanova, at one end of the long, narrow table, was Marcolina; next to Olivo, at the other end, sat the Abbate.
We kept clear of Catholics throughout our tour. I had a conversation with the Dean of Malta, a most pleasant man, lately dead; but it was about the Fathers, and the Library of the great church. I knew the Abbate Santini, at Rome, who did no more than copy for me the Gregorian tones. Once we heard him preach at a church in the Corso.
The abbate was arrested, and the canon, on this lady's complaint to the Ten at Venice, was thrown into prison, and the weak and furious Pope Paul V., being refused their release by the Ten, excommunicated the whole Republic. In the same year, that is to say 1552, the bane and antidote, Paul the Pope and Paul Sarpi the friar, were sent into the world.
Why, the first thing he said, when I told him I was an American, was to wonder whether I hadn't met his brother, who was also in America in Rio Janeiro just as if Rio was the other side of the North River!" John Manning smiled at Larry's disgusted expression, and asked, "What has this abbate to do with the fragile Venetian glass?" "Only this," answered Larry.
But when she opened her mouth as if to scream, Casanova's aspect was so menacing that she was almost paralyzed with fear, and let him do whatever he pleased. He kissed her with a tender fierceness, whispering: "You must not tell the Abbate anything about this, Teresina, not even in confession. Some day, when you have a lover or a husband, there is no reason why he should know anything about it.
Now, when as if by miracle I have caught you on the point of quitting Mantua, and when I can assure you, Amalia, it was no easy matter I have succeeded in enticing you here, you are so niggard with your time that would you believe it, Signor Abbate, he refuses to spare us more than a couple of days!"
