"Messer Cornelio," he said, looking at me affectionately, "I have something to say to you to-night before I go away." "Speak, then, my dear boy," I answered, "for no one hears us." "You have been very good to me. A father could not have loved me better, and such a father as I had could not have done a thousandth part what you have done for me.
We are to have the society of no less a person than the Professor Cornelio Grandi, of the University of Rome. He will go with us, and be a witness." "Yes," said Hedwig, expecting more, "a witness " "A witness of our marriage, dear lady; I trust to-morrow, or to-day, since midnight is past." He leaned far over his saddle-bow, as the mules clambered up the rough place.
"You shall hear of it, Sor Cornelio, and before long. I swear to you, here, that I will marry the Contessina di Lira if that is her name before two years are out. Ah, you do not believe me. Very well. I have nothing more to say." "My dear son," said I, for he is a son to me, "you are talking nonsense. How can anybody in your position hope to marry a great lady, who is an heiress?

Go on, Ricardo." "The moment I received information of this party, such an infernal fury of jealousy possessed my soul that I was utterly distraught, as you will see, by what I straightway did; and that was to go to the garden, where I found the whole party taking their pleasure, and Cornelio and Leonisa seated together under a nopal-tree, a little apart from the rest.
"You are not very wise, Messer Cornelio, and you counsel me to be prudent and to be rash in the same breath." "You make very pretty compliments, Sor Nino," I answered, tartly. He put out his hand deprecatingly. "You are as wise as any man can be who is not in love," he said, looking at me with his great eyes. "But love is the best counsellor." "What is your idea?"

With the governor came Cornelio and his father, Leonisa's parents and relations, and those of Ricardo, all of whom were among the principal persons in the city.
