Indeed, there was a very special interest attached to the coming of the expected vehicle on that November night; and nothing but the extreme severity of the weather would have prevented a very distinguished assemblage from being on the spot to hear the first news that was expected to be brought by one of the travellers. "Eccolo! I heard the bells, underneath the gate-way. Per Bacco, it is time!
Fear us not, stranger; there is room, ay, and wealth enough for all men now in Florence! Per Bacco! but there is still one goblet of silver left how comes that?" So saying, the man seized the cup which Adrian had just drained, and thrust it into his breast.
"Thou art but a laugh at the best, and wilt go through the world grinning and making others grin. Thy Policinello is a rare fellow, and I never meet one of thy set that weary legs and sore feet are not forgotten in his fooleries!" "Corpo di Bacco!
Black Jack!" The savage bounded once more to his side. "See that the canoe and boat are fast, and then you shall have a feast." "All fast. Tie rope," said the black, pointing to the farther side of the steamer deck. Then, to Carey's horror, he made a peculiar gesture and pointed at him. "No. Salt beef. 'Bacco," growled his leader, and the man once more bounded away.
"You thought I had killed a Jew." "Never, per Bacco!" cried Castracane. "That I'll swear to." "You thought I was a boy, even last night, dearest." But that he denied. "Santissimo! Did I treat you like a boy, I ask you?" "You knocked me down once, Pilade." "Every honest man knocks his wife down once," said Pilade gravely. "And then you kissed me." "I can kiss you again," said Pilade; and did.
At first the Italian pished and grunted, and said /Cospetto/, and /Per Bacco/, and /Diavolo/, and tried to creep out of so much proffered courtesy.
Then making a sign to a couple of followers, each took one of Don's arms, and they hurried him off at a sharp run, Jem being seized in the same way and borne forward, followed by the rest of the men who were in the boat. "Here, I say. Look here," Jem kept protesting, "I arn't a cask o' sugar or a bar'l o' 'bacco. Let a man walk, can't yer? Hi! Mas' Don, they're carrying on strange games here.
They swear per Bacco perpetually in common discourse; and once I saw a gentleman in the heat of conversation blush at the recollection that he had said barba Fove, where he meant God Almighty. It is likewise unkind enough in Mr. Addison, perhaps unjust too, to speak with scorn of the libraries, or state of literature, at Milan.
Riccabocca, after waiting some moments in silence, as if expecting Randal to speak, said, with affected carelessness, "So you think that you have news that might affect me? /Corpo di Bacco/! I am curious to learn what?" "I may be mistaken that depends on your answer to one question. Do you know the Count of Peschiera?" Riccabocca winced, and turned pale.
"There they are!" said Dalrymple, suddenly. "There's the wedding party. Per Bacco! but our little bride is charming!" "And the bridegroom is a handsome specimen of rusticity." "Yes a genuine pastoral pair, like a Dresden china shepherd and shepherdess. See, the girl is looking up in his face he shakes his head. She is urging him to dance, and he refuses!
