Flectanelli, captain of the imperial galley, fought like a lion; Cataneo, Novarro, Balaneri, commanding the Genoese, imitated his example. The Turkish ships could not row under the arrows with which the water was covered; they fouled each other, and two took fire.
Cataneo did things handsomely; he was the manager's banker, and this season was costing him two thousand crowns. He had had all the palace furnished, had imported a French cook, and wines of all lands. So the supper was a regal entertainment. The Prince, seated next la Tinti, was keenly alive, all through the meal, to what poets in every language call the darts of love.

"Memmi is waiting for me at Florian's; I cannot leave him to himself. We must make him tipsy to-night, or he will kill himself to-morrow." "Corpo santo!" exclaimed the Duke.

And your friend Vendramini, thinking to do you a service, let him this palace for a thousand crowns, for the period of my season at the Fenice.
"Will you explain to me," said he, shaking his foot to free it from her embrace, "how you happen to be in my palazzo? How the impoverished Emilio Memmi " "Emilio Memmi!" cried Tinti, rising. "You said you were a Prince." "A Prince since yesterday." "You are in love with the Duchess Cataneo!" said she, looking at him from head to foot.
