Fusbius with deference, "will consider that between an abstract proposition and a practical measure " "There is to the logical mind no stopping-place," interrupted Duke Deodonato. "But, sir," cried the President, "imagine the consternation which this !" "Let it be gazetted to-night," said Duke Deodonato.
Fusbius. "Nay," corrected the President, "they have seen his Highness's person as his Highness has ridden through the city." Duke Deodonato threw down his pen. "This is very tiresome," said he, knitting his brows. "My lord, I would be further advised on this matter. Return at the same hour to-morrow."
"Well named!" said Deodonato softly, and he went to the damsel, and he laid his hand, full gently, on her robe, and he said: "Dulcissima, you have the prettiest face in all the Duchy, and I will have no wife but you;" and Duke Deodonato kissed the damsel. The damsel forbore to strike Duke Deodonato, as she had struck Dr. Fusbius.
Then Deodonato turned, and he pressed with his hand on the silver bell, and straightway the Hall was filled with the Councillors, the Judges, and the halberdiers, attentive to hear the will of Deodonato and the fate of the damsel. And the small eyes of Fusbius glowed and the calm eyes of the President smiled.
"Why was it allowed? I'm sure it happened before I came to the throne." "We did not foresee that your Highness, in your Highness' wisdom, would issue this decree," he said humbly. "True," said Duke Deodonato, who was a just man. "Would your Highness vouchsafe any explanation " "What are the Judges for?" asked Duke Deodonato. "There is the law let them interpret it."
"This is very perplexing," said Duke Deodonato, and he knit his brows; for as he gazed upon the beauty of the damsel, it seemed to him a thing unnatural, undesirable, unpalatable, unpleasant, and unendurable, that she should wed Dr. Fusbius.
"It is not given to Princes," said Deodonato, "to be alone. Nevertheless, if you will, leave me alone." And the damsel bent low, so that the breath of her mouth stirred the hair on Deodonato's head, and he shivered as he knelt. "My Prince and my King!" said she.
And again he drew near to Dulcissima, and there, before them all, he fell on his knee. And a murmur ran through the hall. "Madam," said Deodonato, "if you love me, wed me. And, if you love me not, depart in peace and in honor; and I, Deodonato, will live my life alone." Then the damsel trembled, and barely did Deodonato catch her words: "There are many men here," said she.
"Thus shall Our mind be informed, and we shall deal profitably with this matter," concluded Duke Deodonato. Upon which arose great debate. For there was one part of the learned men which leaned upon the letter and found no invitation to marriage in the words of Dr.
For the more windows, the wider the view; and the wider the view, the more pretty damsels do you see; and the more pretty damsels you see, the more jocund a thing is life and that is what the men of the Duchy love and not least, Duke Deodonato, whom, with his bride Dulcissima, may Heaven long preserve! There was once the date is of no moment a Sultan, and he had a Vizier named Ashimullah.
