The fact of the diamonds of his mistress having been pledged to Isaachar ben Solomon was uppermost in his mind: for the reader must remember that he was unaware of the circumstance of their restoration to Giulia as it was at the moment when she was about to give him this explanation that the old Lord of Arestino had interrupted their discourse.

"The Count of Arestino is no more, your highness," answered the duke.
For pardon is mercy, and what mercy hast thou shown to me? Giulia, I am descended from an old and mighty race, and tradition affords no room to believe that any one who has borne the name of Arestino has dishonored it until now! Oh! fool dotard idiot that I was to think that a young girl could love an aged man like me!
