She loved Flavio Corradini, the scion of a rival and hated house, whose alliance her father, Prince Boccanera, roughly rejected, and whom her elder brother, Ercole, swore to slay should he ever surprise him with her. Nevertheless the young man came to visit her in a boat, and she joined him by the little staircase descending to the river.
"Certainly, certainly," said Corradini, relieved to meet an educated man instead of the boor he had expected. "If the summons were delayed by any fault of my officials, the delay must be inquired into. Meanwhile, most reverend, have you instructions to conclude the affair?" "As yet, I venture to remind your Excellency, we do not even know what is the affair of which you speak."
Italy was expected to put 3,000,000 men in the field. The reasons why Italy entered the great conflict were succinctly stated on May 19 by Signor Enrico Corradini, nationalist leader, as follows: "1. The necessity for Italy to take advantage of the present revolution in European affairs to settle her national irredentist problem at the expense of Austria.
Signor Corradini insisted that there were worse things for a nation than war, and that the occasional necessity for resort to the "dread arbitrament" must be boldly faced by any nation worthy of the name. The congress proved a success, and the ideas expressed in it which had been "in the air" for some time were accepted by a considerable number of people.

Private interest must cede to public" "There is parliamentary sanction already given to the project for the Valley of Edera," said Don Silverio, "expropriation included." Count Corradini threw himself back in his chair with an action expressive at once of wrath and of impotence. He had an irritating sense that this priest was master of the position, and knew much more than he said.
Corradini joined him there in five minutes' time, and welcomed him to the house with grace and warmth of courtesy. "What does he want of me?" thought Don Silverio, who had not been often met in life by such sweet phrases. "Does he want me to be blind?"
"I venture, sir," replied Don Silverio respectfully, "to remind you again that it is impossible I should be so empowered, since Adone Alba was ignorant of the reason for which he was summoned here." Corradini shuffled his documents nervously with some irritation. "This conference, then, is a mere waste of time? I hold council to-day " "Pardon me, your Excellency," said Don Silverio blandly.
"He could not, sir; and, to say truth, he would not. He does not intend to sell his land." "What!" Corradini half rose from his chair, leaning both hands on the table, and staring though his glasses across the mass of portfolios and papers at the priest. "He will have no choice allowed him," he said with great anger. "To the interests of the State all minor interests must bend.
He is blameless in his domestic relation, an indulgent landlord, a gentleman, respectful of religion, assiduous in his duties; but he is in debt; his large estates produce little; he has no other means. I would not take upon me to say that he would be above a bribe." At five of the clock, as the Syndic had told him to do, Don Silverio presented himself at the Palazzo Corradini.
