The former had taken the tonsure after his father's and elder brother's deaths, in 1204, but the cause of the latter was espoused with arms by a Shinano magnate, Izumi Chikahira, in 1213. On Wada Yoshimori, as betto of the Samurai-dokoro, devolved the duty of quelling this revolt.
Messer Betto Brunelleschi, who was crossing the Piazza on his way home from his country house, saw amid the tombs two haggard falcon's eyes burning in a fleshless face, and recognizing the friend of his youth, was seized with wonder and pity. He approached him, and kissing him as he used in former days, said with a sigh: "Ah! Guido mine! what fire is it hath consumed you away thus?
And there was Betto, his old nurse and his father's housekeeper, in loud, angry tones, reproving the shepherd boy who stood leaning against the door-post. "Hello! what's the matter, Betto?" said Cardo in Welsh; "what mischief has Robin been up to now?" You are late to-night, and I was beginning to puzzle." "Has my father missed me?"
"And this, Betto," said her master, slowly laying the other letter on the table before her, "look at it but I forgot you can't read English." "Howyer bâch! not I." "Well, it is addressed to 'Mrs. Caradoc Wynne. Did you know anything of this?"
"They'll wonder what's become of me at home," he thought, "or rather Betto will. I don't suppose my father would notice my absence, so long as I was home to supper. Poor old dad!" he added, and a grave look came over his face. In truth it was not a very cheerful home to which he was returning, but it was home, and had been his from childhood.
"Poor Betto looked anxiously from one to the other of us, and I kept my still and silent watch. My heart was breaking with distrust of my wife, and hatred of my brother; but I never spoke of my failing trust in them both. I brooded upon it night and day, and my life became a hell upon earth.
As they were galloping along the Peretola Road, Messer Bocca said to Messer Betto: "Who can doubt now but this Guido is gone mad? He told us we were at home in the graveyard. And to say such a thing, he must needs have lost his wits." "True it is," replied Messer Betto, "I cannot imagine what he meant to have us understand by talking in such a sort.
Ooroony stayed a month with Betto, when he undertook a voyage with him in a large canoe, to another group, that was distant two or three hundred miles, still further to the northward, and where Bob was told he should find a ship. This account proved to be true, the ship turning out to be a Spaniard, from South America, engaged in the pearl fishery, and on the eve of sailing for her port.
At last one evening, just at this time of the year, and at this hour of the day, Betto brought you to me in her arms. She had tears on her face, and as she looked down at her little white bundle, I noticed that a tear fell on your little hand.
But whereas, the Kamakura shikken exercised virtually autocratic authority, the shogun being a minor, the Muromachi kwanryo, nominally, at all events, was under the control of an adult shogun. In fact, the kwanryo in the Muromachi polity resembled the betto of the Man-dokoro in Yoritomo's time.
