In Crispo et Livio reposint quædam; et si nemo religiosius timidiusques tractavit veterum scripta ... Græca ... vix attingit. From trifles, as they may seem to us at this distance of time, hostile ingenuity wove the web destined to enmesh the incautious Academicians.
"Oh, the way things go on the steeple-chasing and fox-hunting, and the carts, and the style of the swell entertainments. Is that ill-natured?" "Not at all. I like candor, especially English candor. But there is Miss Eschelle." Carmen drove up with Count Crispo, threw the reins to the groom, and reached the ground with a touch on the shoulder of the count, who had alighted to help her down.
I'm taking Spanish lessons of Count Crispo. I've learned two Spanish poems and a Castilian dance." "Is he married?" "Not now. He told me, when he was teaching me the steps, that his heart was buried in Seville." "He seems to be full of sentiment." "Perhaps that is because his salary is so small. Mamma says, of all things an impecunious count! But he is amusing."

In that work Simone formed a connection with M. Tiberio Crispo, who was Castellan there; and he was sent by M. Tiberio to Bolsena, where, on the highest point of that stronghold, overlooking the lake, he arranged a large and beautiful habitation, partly on the old structure and partly founding anew, with a very handsome flight of steps and many ornaments of stone.
Feeling sure that the ship could not be righted, I, seizing little Crispo, made a rush to starboard, and, dashing through an open port, found myself outside the ship, which at that moment went completely over, her masts and spars sinking under the water.
