They work hard enough, and their only pleasure is seeing your fine shows and processions; and then they go home and say, 'See, our man beats all the Barons! what state he keeps!" "Ah! they blame not my splendour, then!" "Blame it; no! Without it they would be ashamed of you, and think the Buono Stato but a shabby concern." "You speak bluntly, Cecco, but perhaps wisely. The saints keep you!
I walked the deck till past midnight, watching the moon as she rode high amid the scud overhead, and the beacon-lights of the island of Elba, as they gleamed full and bright astern. "What of the night?" I asked the helmsman. "Buono notte, Signore," was the reply. I descended to my berth. I awoke at four of the morning, and found the steamer labouring in a rolling sea.
The substance of his calculation was, that for the whole party about half a dollar would be a proper sum to pay to the domestic at the hotel where they stopped for the night, and a quarter of a dollar or less at noon. Then there were chambermaids, ostlers, and drivers of extra horses or oxen to help up the long hills, all of whom would like a small buono mano.
All that he would let me learn was that there was a conspiracy afoot to supplant me, and that he was going to capture the conspirators, together with the man whom they were inviting to take my place. Ponder it, Francesco! Such are the murderous plans my loving subjects form for my undoing I who rule them with a rod of gold, the most clement, just and generous prince in Italy. Cristo buono!
Why should not the sacred remains be stolen from the Egyptian city and brought to Venice? Why not?

When the body was exhumed such sweetness proceeded from it that all Alexandria marvelled, but did not trace the cause.
There she stands, quite still. I can't see her face, but she seems to like it. It's all very fine," he repeated, nodding his white head reflectively. "Republicans, communists, orators, poets, heretics all the plagues of hell! Dio buono! give me a little plain common-sense plain common-sense, and a paternal government.
If the 'Buono Stato' depends on your government, what I have asked, your solicitude for Rome will not permit you to refuse." "You mistake me, bold robber," said Rienzi, sternly; "your treason I could guard against, and therefore forgive; your ambition, never! Mark me, I know you!
Every body in Italy, who performs any service, expects, in addition to being paid the price regularly agreed upon for the service, to receive a present, greater or smaller according to the nature of the case. This present is called the buono mano. The postilions always expect a buono mano from the passengers in the stage coach, especially from those who ride in the coupé.
If he had twisted a halter of it to hang me with, I suspect that he had done what he truly desired. Father Carnesecchi listened to it all in the dejected, musing pose which I have described, words of pity incessantly escaping from his partly imprisoned mouth: "Dio mio!" "Dio buono!"
It was evident that they were satisfied, and giving us the country salutation, they bade us good-night, and we moved off; but Tom pulled up, and shouted after the leader of the party, who returned; when, with a face whose gravity could be seen, even in that dim short twilight, to be extreme, Tom took out one of his smallest stalactites, held it up before him, and repeated the word "buono" three times, and then presented it to the Indian, who received it with grave courtesy and retired.
