Early on the same day Joubert, who had been stationed with a corps of observation farther up in the old and tried position at the foot of Monte Baldo, became aware of hostile movements, and occupied Rivoli. During the day the two Austrian columns tried to turn his position by seizing his outpost at Corona, but they were repulsed.
Driving the French from the San Marco ridge and pressing their centre hard between Monte Baldo and Rivoli, they made it possible for their troops in the valley to struggle on towards the foot of the zigzag; and on the west their distant right wing was already beginning to threaten the French rear.
Do you understand? 'Ze signorina desires tree donkeys and a driver at seven o'clock to-morrow morning to climb Monte Baldo? 'In brief, yes, but please remember the earrings. Meanwhile a commotion was going on behind them. The hotel omnibus had rumbled into the courtyard.
"Not just at the start, thanks," said Adrian. "I should like to watch 'em step a bit first." The hypocrite. As if he would have known what to do with the ribbons, had they been given to him. So Franco took them himself, while Baldo blew the horn. "Have you visited Castel San Guido yet?" Franco questioned. "Shall we make that our objective?"
Next morning at dawn, Murat, who had marched all night to gain the point, appeared on the slopes of Monte Baldo above Corona, and united with Joubert to drive the Austrians from their last foothold. The pursuit was continued as far as Trent. Thirteen thousand prisoners were captured in those two days.
Two of these armies were to march respectively down the east and west banks of Lake Garda, and, flanking the inferior forces of the French on both sides, surround and capture them. The other division was on the Adige in front of Verona, ready to relieve Mantua. Between that river and the lake rises the stately mass of Monte Baldo, abrupt on its eastern, more gentle on its western slope.
Duke Guido Baldo, also, has in his guardaroba a picture of the Roman Lucretia, which he esteems very highly, by the same man's hand, together with many other pictures, of which mention will be made when the time comes. After these things he painted a panel for the altar of the Madonna in SS. Vitale e Agricola; in which panel are two very beautiful angels, who are playing on the lute.
He represents himself as having been the first Gonfalonier of Justice who destroyed the houses of rebellious nobles, while Baldo de' Ruffoli, who held the office before him, had previously carried out the Ordinances.
You 're a count all right." "I see," said Adrian. "And are you, then," he inferred, with sprightly interest, "agin the government?" The familiar formula appeared to tickle the two young Anglophiles inordinately. They greeted it with deep-chested laughter. "We 're not exactly agin the government," Baldo answered, "but we believe in remodelling it.
Perfumed with sandalwood, in a white, gold-stitched robe, its bodice tight, its skirts voluminous, she welcomed him in the hall. The reception over, old Baldo spoke with the crone who served Madonna Gemma as maid: "I do not know what this pretty little fellow has in mind. While I watch him for spying, do you watch him for love-making.
