There were, indeed, no bounds to his content: to be a father poor old soul! seemed to him the most glorious position in the world. Can Grande II. in the judgment-seat, the bishop stalled in his throne, the Holy Father himself in the golden chambers of his castle at Avignon, had nothing to offer Ser Baldassare Dardicozzo, the old-clothes man.
A builder of genius, working on the library, might indeed have displayed his science and his taste by some beautiful invention adapted to the awkward locality; as Baldassare Peruzzi, in the Palazzo Massimo at Rome, converted the defects of the site into graces by the exquisite turn he gave to the curved portion of the edifice.
"The marchesa left Lucca suddenly," persisted Baldassare, not daring to notice Orsetti's insolence. "She took her niece with her." "Have it cried about the streets," interrupted Orazio, opening his eyes. "Yesterday morning an express came down for Cavaliere Trenta. The ancient tower of Corellia has been entirely burnt. The marchesa was rescued."
"To be sure; it was easy to see how much he admired her, but I did not know that the lady " "Oh, yes, the lady is all right she will agree," rejoined Trenta. "She knows no one else; she will obey her aunt's commands and my wishes." "I am delighted!" cried Baldassare. "Why, there will be a ball at Palazzo Guinigi a ball, after all!"
Half an hour before the time appointed he appeared at the Palazzo Trenta. The cavaliere was ready, and they went out into the street together. "If you have not been asleep since the ball, Baldassare which is probable perhaps you can tell me how Nera Boccarini is this morning?" "She is quite well, I understand," answered Adonis, with an air of great mystery, as he smoothed his scented beard.
Baldassare's own were black as old channel-posts in the Lagoon, but in tongue-work he gave as sharp as he got. Then a wicked wind blew Vanna's hair like a whip across her throat, fit to strangle her. She had to face the day. Baldassare pondered her straight young back. "When Vanna's a nun she'll have no more trouble with her hair," quoth La Testolina, matchmaker by race.
Lucretia's letters to Bembo were first examined and described by Baldassare Oltrocchi, and subsequently by Lord Byron; in 1859 they were published in Milan by Bernardo Gatti. There are nine in all seven in Italian and two in Spanish. They are accompanied by a Castilian canzone.
Then, while sighs, curses, invocations of the saints, or open hints to the devil came roaring from him, that hilarious mouth of his invited you to share delights. You had needs laugh with him, and he, cursing high and low, beamed all over his face. "To make Baldassare laugh" became a stock periphrasis for the supreme degree of tragedy among his neighbours.
Unfortunately, she had been prematurely driven from her post of observation; but she had seen the Emperor come in, and Barbara, without noticing his altered expression, or rather, probably, to cheer him by something especially merry, gaily began Baldassare Donati's superb dancing-master's song, "Qui la gagliarda vuol imparare," at the same time in the merriest, most graceful manner imitating the movements of the gagliarda dancer.
I hope you won't detain us," he said, with a pitiful look at the count, who seemed preparing for an oration in honor of the mediaeval martyr. "I have already got a violent rheumatism in my shoulder. Here, Baldassare, open the trap-door, and let us go down. Where is Baldassare? Baldassare! Where are you, imbecile? Baldassare, I say! Why, diamine! Where can the boy be?
