An abbate, probably an acquaintance and cicerone of the English family, was sitting there, and enjoying the scene, though partially withdrawn from view, as the decorum for his order dictated. There seemed no better nor other course for Kenyon than to keep watch at this appointed spot, waiting for whatever should happen next.
Olivo, the brothers Ricardi, and the Abbate staked such trifling amounts that to Casanova even to-day when his whole worldly wealth consisted of no more than a few ducats the game seemed ludicrous. All the more was this the case since the Marchese raked in his winnings and paid out his losses with a ceremonious air, as if he were handling enormous sums.
The abbate, however, drew the old gentleman aside, and whispered a few words that served to mollify him; he bestowed on Hilda a sufficiently benignant, though still a perplexed and questioning regard, and invited her, in dumb-show, to put herself at her ease. But, whoever was in fault, our shy and gentle Hilda had dreamed of no intrusion.
I could not have written my work without the aid derived from its suggestions, any more than I could without Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, St. Thomas, Suarez, Pierre Leroux, and the Abbate Gioberti.
"Yes, to Amsterdam or to Rotterdam or to some one of those dam towns, as we used to call them in our geography class." "It was to Amsterdam," said Manning, speaking as one who had certain information. "How do you know that?" asked Larry. "Even the abbate said it was only a tradition that he had gone to Holland at all." "He went to Amsterdam," said Manning; "that I know."
"Well, I don't know," was Larry's reply; "I don't know just what to believe. I was talking about it last night at Florian's, while you were writing letters home." "I did not know Mr. Laughton had friends in Venice." "Oh, I can make friends anywhere. And this one was lots of fun. He was a priest, an abbate, I think he calls himself.
He is quite aware that he cannot expect the Abbate to alter this aria a third time, and he will not sing it as it is written. I beg you will send me an immediate reply. I shall conclude, for I must now write with all speed; the composing is finished, but not the writing out.
He sat in the middle of the room like a pail of water, and stared about in the most ill-mannered way. My friends remarked that he was the abbate of the Pantheon, and he inquired if I had been to see it; to which I replied that I had, and that I considered it the noblest building in Rome. This seemed to be a new idea to him, and one which he did not altogether like.
They chose by acclamation Simone Boccanegra, who, however, seeing that he was to have no power, refused the office. "If he will not be Abbate," cried a voice in the crowd, "let him be Doge"; and seeing the enthusiasm of the people, this great man allowed himself to be borne to S. Siro, where he was crowned first Doge of Genoa for life.
As good luck ruled our arrival, we came face to face with the Abbate de Negro, who administers the domain of Monte Oliveto for the Government of Italy, and exercises a kindly hospitality to chance-comers. He was standing near the church, which, with its tall square campanile, breaks the long stern outline of the convent.
