The facility with which Giovanni had mastered English amazed his teacher and master; but now he needed no more lessons, the two when alone together spoke Giovanni's tongue: Hillard, because he loved it, and Giovanni because the cook spoke it badly and the English butler not at all. "You have made up your mind to go, then, amico?" said Hillard. "Yes, signore." "Well, I shall miss you.
He is not at liberty to mention it, but hopes you like travelling." Galileo likewise had dropped in, with this scientific intelligence. "I am glad to see you, AMICO. COME STA? Water will freeze when it is cold enough. ADDIO!" In the course of the night, also, the following phenomena had occurred.
I had scarcely finished dressing when Vincenzo entered with my overcoat, and informed me that the marquis waited for me, and that a close carriage was in attendance at the private door of the hotel. "Permit me to accompany you, eccellenza!" pleaded the faithful fellow, with anxiety in the tone of his voice. "Come then, amico!" I said, cheerily. "If the marquis makes no objection I shall not.
"In love, amico, art thou? So soon! three days and thou hast fallen a prey to the smile of Lilla! I am sorry for thee!" He interrupted me eagerly. "The eccellenza is in error! I would not dare she is too innocent she knows nothing! She is like a little bird in the nest, so soft and tender a word of love would frighten her; I should be a coward to utter it." Well, well!
He paused, half ashamed of the emotion that threatened to break through his mask of impassibility, bowed again and would have left me, but that I called him back and held out my hand. "Shake hands, amico" I said, simply.
Da l'altra parte odi che fama lascia Elissa, ch'ebbe il cor tanto pudico; Che riputata viene una bagascia, Solo perchè Maron non le fu amico." It is delightful to see the great, generous poet going upon grounds of reason and justice in the teeth of the trumped-up rights of the "pious Æneas," that shabby deserter of Dido, and canting prototype of Augustus.
However, having received the expected, or rather the required, compliment on his sobriety, the Baron proceeded, 'No, sir, though I am myself of a strong temperament, I abhor ebriety, and detest those who swallow wine GULAE CAUSA, for the oblectation of the gullet; albeit I might deprecate the law of Pittacus of Mitylene, who punished doubly a crime committed under the influence of LIBER PATER; nor would I utterly accede to the objurgation of the younger Plinius, in the fourteenth book of his HISTORIA NATURALIS. No, sir; I distinguish, I discriminate, and approve of wine so far only as it maketh glad the face, or, in the language of Flaccus, RECEPTO AMICO.
"I have found out once more that the Austrian ship of state is in the hands of a man who knows how to steer and guide her, as no other ruler does," said Count Saurau, who rose and took his hat. "I have inherited this talent, perhaps, my dear count. My father, the ship-builder, taught me all about the management of ships. Addio, caro amico mio."
How is it, then, that I have as yet received no reports of the carrying out of my orders, which, however, have no doubt been attended to? Ever and always your attached Amicus ad Amicum de Amico. N.B. I beg you will observe the most profound silence about the dedication, as I wish it to be a surprise! Jan. 30, 1817.
