The Professor looked hard into the lawyer's eyes, as he nodded his head, without speaking, in grave assent. They arrived in another minute at the door of the Palazzo Castelmare.
"Ladies," said Ludovico, addressing himself mainly to the elder, but turning also towards the younger as he spoke, while the Conte Leandro stared unmitigatedly at Paolina; "we come to you, sent by my uncle the Marchese di Castelmare, and charged by him to assist you in finding a convenient quartiere for your residence in Ravenna.
It was true that, ever since the ball at the Castelmare palazzo, on the second day of the year, Ludovico had felt pretty nearly sure that Violante was as desirous of escaping from the marriage which had been arranged as he was himself. But it did not at all follow that it would be an easy matter to break it off.
Signor Fortini had not the smallest hope that the death would be found to have resulted from natural causes. And then came the consideration whether there could be any hope that, after all, the deed had been done by some other hand than that of the young Marchese di Castelmare.

And then came the joyful finale "Ah non giunge." And in that the Diva seemed to surpass herself.
To think that I should live to hear of a Castelmare arrested in Ravenna. The world is coming to an end, I think, Signor Giovacchino." "Vexing enough; but not so bad as all that, I hope. No doubt Signor Ludovico will be able to clear himself before long."
"She schemed for it from her first arrival here aimed avowedly to herself at nothing less than inducing the Marchese di Castelmare to marry her and succeeded. For all that, I'll tell you what, Adolfo there was a great deal more good in that poor girl than you would have thought." "Bah! Good in her Well, she's gone. She has had her reward, poor soul; and I pity her with all my heart.
