Bernardo was smarting just then under the disappointments connected with the reception of his own poem, the Amadigi.
Bernardo cased his limbs in steel, and rode in procession with ladies and young nobles through the streets. The ceremonies of a knight's reception in Siena at that period were magnificent.
I have already exhausted myself; but the new spring is good, and in a few minutes I will have finished." Bernardo examined attentively the unfinished chair, and looked frightened. "Heavens!" he exclaimed, "a chair for a trap! Do you entrap men here?" Julio nodded his head affirmatively. Pale from anxiety, Bernardo muttered: "May God preserve me! What crime is in contemplation?
Not simply the disgrace of your husband, to which you look forward with so much courage, but the arrest and ruin of many among the chief men in Florence, including Messer Bernardo del Nero." Tito had meditated a decisive move, and he had made it. The flush died out of Romola's face, and her very lips were pale an unusual effect with her, for she was little subject to fear.
In the Duomo of Parma, likewise, in the vaults below, there is by the hand of Prospero the tomb of the Blessed Bernardo degli Uberti, the Florentine, Cardinal and Bishop of that city, which was finished in the year 1548, and much extolled.
Mino also has here a monument to Bernardo Giugni, a famous gonfalonier in the time of Cosimo de' Medici, marked by the same distinction, but not quite so memorable. The Ugo is his masterpiece. The carved wooden ceiling, which is a very wonderful piece of work and of the deepest and most glorious hue, should not be forgotten; but nothing is easier than to overlook ceilings.
Her white silk garment was bound by a golden girdle, which fell with large tassels; and above that was the rippling gold of her hair, surmounted by the white mist of her long veil, which was fastened on her brow by a band of pearls, the gift of Bernardo del Nero, and was now parted off her face so that it all floated backward.
Carlos and Juan fled away, glad to escape the sight of their master. "Now that they have escaped, what do you think they will do?" asked Alvarez of Wyatt. "They will go to New Orleans," replied the renegade promptly, "and appear before Bernardo Galvez to denounce you." "Then our own start must not be delayed a moment!" exclaimed Alvarez. In an hour he and his force were ready to embark.
The final sentence was immediately known; and as this unhappy family inspired a constantly increasing interest, many cardinals spent the whole of the night either on horseback or in their carriages, making interest that, at least so far as the women were concerned, they should be put to death privately and in the prison, and that a free pardon should be granted to Bernardo, a poor lad only fifteen years of age, who, guiltless of any participation in the crime, yet found himself involved in its consequences.
For the old habit of trusting in the Medici could not die out while their influence was still the strongest lever in the State; and Tito, once possessing the ear of the Cardinal Giovanni de' Medici, might do more even than Messer Bernardo towards winning the desired interest, for he could demonstrate to a learned audience the peculiar value of Bardi's collection.
