He was joined by Count Karl Lenkenstein on the day when Carlo Ammiani encountered them, with the rear of Colonel Corte's band marching for Vicenza. In the collision between the Austrians and the volunteers, Rinaldo was taken fighting upon his knee-cap.
Agostino recited some mock verses, burlesquing the ordinary libretti, and provoked loud laughter from Carlo Ammiani, who was familiar enough with the run of their nonsense. "Camilla is the bride of Camillo. I give to her all the brains, which is a modern idea, quite! He does all the mischief, which is possibly mediaeval. They have both an enemy, which is mediaeval and modern.
Meanwhile he let lodgings. It was in the house of this famous confectioner Zotti that Vittoria and her mother had lived after leaving England for Italy. As Vittoria came under the fretted shadow of the cathedral, she perceived her mother standing with Zotti at the house- door, though the night was far advanced. She laughed, and walked less hurriedly. Ammiani now asked her if she had been alarmed.
Without the operation of disturbing elements, the spider-thread would have gently detained the gossamer." "Is that meant for my son?" Countess Ammiani asked slowly, with incredulous emphasis. Agostino and Laura, laughing in their hearts at the mother's mysterious veneration for Carlo, had to explain that 'gossamer' was a poetic, generic term, to embrace the lighter qualities of masculine youth.
You, sir," the count turned to Wilfrid "you will stay below. Are you in the pay of the insurgents?" Wilfrid, the weakest of human beings where women were involved with him, did one of the hardest things which can task a young man's fortitude: he looked his superior in the face, and neither blenched, nor frowned, nor spoke. Ammiani spoke for him. "There is no pay given in our ranks."
Anna and Lena were aware of Vittoria's residence in Milan, through the interchange of visits between the Countess of Lenkenstein and her sister Signora Piaveni. They heard also of Vittoria's prospective and approaching marriage to Count Ammiani.
I have millions and the whole Austrian Government to back me, and you to be wilful, little rebel! I could laugh. It is only Love you want. Your voice is now in a marble chamber. I will put it in a palace of cedarwood. This Ammiani I let visit you in the hope that he would touch you. Bah! he is a patriot not a man! He cannot make you wince and pine, and be cold and be hot, and Bah!
"Why are you here?" he said. She did well in replying boldly, "For the king." "Would you tell another that it is for the king?" "Would I speak to another as I speak to you?" Ammiani inclined his head.
'You do, you do, or you would not think of excusing yourself to me, said Laura. 'But now, go. You have cut me in two. Carlo Ammiani may succeed where I have failed, and I have used every weapon; enough to make a mean creature hate me for life and kiss me with transports. Do your best, Carlo, and let it be your utmost. It remained for Ammiani to assure her that their views were different.
"You are acquainted with Count Karl Lenkenstein?" Adela blushingly acknowledged it. "The whisper goes that I was once admired by him," said Violetta. "And by Count Ammiani." "By count? by milord? by prince? by king?" "By all who have good taste." "Was it jealousy, then, that made Countess Anna hate me?" "She could not or she cannot now." "Because I have not taken possession of her brother."
