Qualis Thesea iacuit cedente carina Languida desertis Gnosia litoribus, Qualis et accubuit primo Cepheia somno Libera iam duris cotibus Andromede, Even when one comes to them fresh from Virgil, lines like these open a new world of sound.
He was asleep when I got here, and the good old landlady, thinking the front sitting-room would be free, had invited 'company, i.e., two or three married daughters and their belongings; one of the children beats Magnay's 'Carina' as to beauty he ought to paint her. Happy thought, send him and pretty Mrs. Esperance down here on spec.
If her own estimate of the part she was to play was a foolish one, only a Venetian patrician maid could comprehend the glamour that overlay this vision of Caterina's the royal delivery from bondage the unknown delights it must open to her! "Thou art sent for, carina, to the crimson salon; thy Father would speak with thee."
"She will not forget," the great Santorio said in despair. "We must try to rouse her. Let her child be brought." The ghost of a smile flitted for an instant about her pale lips and over the shadowy horror in her eyes, as Marcantonio leaned over her with their boy in his arms. "Carina," he cried imploringly, "our little one needeth thee!"
Her elder sister, Agnes, was standing half dressed before the mirror, holding the end of one blond braid between her teeth, while tying the other with a pink ribbon. Seeing that Carina was awake, she gave her a nod in the glass, and, removing her braid, observed that there evidently were sick pilgrims under the window.
"I must have strength," she answered with instant resolution, rising and laying aside the miniature with a lingering look. "Wilt thou call Aluisi? He ever maketh me understand. It is so new to me," she pleaded feebly, as the Lady Beata did not move. "Carina, it will be best alone; Aluisi hath asked me to speak with thee.
"Then he crossed the room and tore the child from my arms, in spite of her shrieks of fear and our joint efforts to stop him. Even my father, who did all he could, was helpless against the man's almost superhuman strength. In a moment he had mounted his horse with Carina in front of him, and was galloping at breakneck speed down the long trail which led to our ranch.
"He is charming charming, my King!" she repeated. But a shadow had crept into her mother's eyes. "It is a face that an artist might paint for his pleasure," she said with hesitation, as if seeking expression for some vague fear that haunted her; "I pray that he may make thee happy, carina; that he may be good and and noble." "'Noble!" cried Marco Cornaro, scornfully; "what seekest more?
I cared little for this, as it enabled me to take Carina to my father's ranch, where I forgot for the time being the emptiness of the home to which we must sooner or later return." Alice glanced up tenderly. "Poor dear Eleanor," she said, softly; but Mrs. Gorham went on without heeding: "One day, when little Carina was three years old, we were visiting at my father's.
But, carina, these foreign priests are often of a different way of thinking; and Don Fernanzo Lillo, that fluent Spaniard verily I would have thee don thy most freezing dignity when he comes again."
