The moral sense was extinct when such a pupil was intrusted to such a tutor. For the following details I am principally indebted to 'The Memoirs of the Dukes of Urbino, by James Dennistoun; 3 vols., Longmans, 1851. It has, moreover, all the value of a personal memoir, for Vespasiano had lived in close relation with the Duke as his librarian.
Some time ago I believe I had the pleasure of telling you the story of an adventure which happened to a friend of mine by the name of Dennistoun, during his pursuit of objects of art for the museum at Cambridge.
There was intelligence of a kind in them intelligence beyond that of a beast, below that of a man. The feelings which this horror stirred in Dennistoun were the intensest physical fear and the most profound mental loathing. What did he do? What could he do?
Pierre and Bertrand, the two sturdy little serving-men, who rushed in, saw nothing, but felt themselves thrust aside by something that passed out between them, and found Dennistoun in a swoon. They sat up with him that night, and his two friends were at St Bertrand by nine o'clock next morning.
'Is she going to be married to him? inquired Gladys, with interest. 'She hopes sae; but but I wadna like to sweer by it. He's a slippery customer, an' aye was. I ken a lassie in Dennistoun he carried on as far as Liz, but I'm no' feared for Liz. She can watch hersel'. A strange feeling of weariness and vague terror came over Gladys.

'Nothing nothing in the world. Monsieur is more than welcome to it. The tone in which this and much more was said was unmistakably genuine, so that Dennistoun was reduced to profuse thanks, and submitted to have the chain put round his neck. It really seemed as if he had rendered the father and daughter some service which they hardly knew how to repay.
Here he was met by the daughter; she, it appeared, was anxious to do a little business on her own account; perhaps, like Gehazi, to "take somewhat" from the foreigner whom her father had spared. "A silver crucifix and chain for the neck; monsieur would perhaps be good enough to accept it?" Well, really, Dennistoun hadn't much use for these things. What did mademoiselle want for it?
See the testimony of Francesco di Giorgio; Dennistoun, vol. i. p. 259. The sack of Volterra was, however, a blot upon his humanity. While a boy, Federigo had been educated in the school of Vittorino da Feltre at Mantua.
I have breakfasted, I am not at all cold, with many thanks to monsieur." "Very well, my little man," quoth Dennistoun to himself: "you have been warned, and you must take the consequences."
