"Davvero, the world is changed then! It used to be good to be young." "Eccellenza, yes; when I myself was not old, and his excellency also had no beard." "If age and wisdom might be traded for the time of youthful pranks," said the Veronese with twinkling eyes, "I doubt if there were wisdom enough left in Venice to cavil at the barter!
Lei e troppo garbato, troppo buono; ma troppo buono, davvero!" said the pretty creature; and the appealing eyes looked into his with the semblance of a tear of emotion in them. "Will you allow me the pleasure, Signora, of conducting you to the city in my carriage?" said the Marchese, with a graceful wave of his hand towards his handsome equipage.
"You seem anxious to get back to the city, my friend," I said, half jocosely. "Si, davvero!" he replied, with decision, "I hope to get many a good fare from the Count Oliva's marriage-ball to-night."
"Davvero?" An expression of intense pleasure, and of something more of pride had come into her face. She could not divest herself imaginatively of her conception of him as a rich forestiere, and she saw herself placed high above "the other girls," turned into a lady. "Magari!" she murmured, drawing in her breath, then breathing out. "You would be happy if I did that?" "Magari!" she said again.
"Davvero! his words would make me wrathful if I held the views of his Holiness, who may well fear the incontrovertibility of his wit. But our Consultore looketh a simple man to have been shown such honor!"
"I have thought it might possibly be agreeable to you to place it and myself at your disposition on this occasion." "Ma come? It is too great an honour, davvero. But to make my first appearance in your city under such auspices will go far towards assuring me such a success at Ravenna, as it is my most earnest wish to attain." The Marchese put out his hand to assist her to alight, as he added,
Does she not well know that every kindness she has bestowed, every merciful act she has ministered, would weigh for nothing in the balance on the day that she will be arraigned as a landowner the receiver of the poor man's rent! And will you tell me after this she can dispense with courage? 'Bel paese davvero! muttered the other.
She and Gaspare touched the hand that held the book, made the sign of the cross, then stared at Maurice to see why he did nothing. He quickly followed their example. Maddalena, who was pulling some of the roses from her tight bouquet, whispered to him: "Sant' Onofrio will bring us good-fortune." "Davvero?" he whispered back. "Si! Si!" said Gaspare, nodding his head.
"Then why didn't you come unto the balcony, amico mio?" "Because I thought you were street singers." "Davvero? Papa would be angry. And he is in a bad temper to-day anyhow." "Why?" "Well, I believe Gilda Mai is going to bring a causa against Viviano. Of course he won't marry her, and she never expected he could. Why, she used to be a milliner in the Toledo.
"Davvero! but this was the hour of his highest favor, and I followed with the rest of the crowd till there was scarce breathing space under the clock tower, where the Magi were just coming forth to salute the Madonna and the Bambino at the stroke of the day; and the people were shouting so one could not hear the bell for cries of 'Gold! gold! Bragadin!
