Thirty-seven galleys, under command of Prince Andrea Doria, brought the principal part of the force to Genoa, the Duke being delayed a few days at Nice by an attack of fever. On the 2d of June, the army was mustered at Alexandria de Palla, and ordered to rendezvous again at San Ambrosio at the foot of the Alps.
You must have been displeased at my long absence. Pardon me. As you wish. And you? BOURGOGNINO. Quite prepared. And you? SACCO. All's right. FIESCO. And Calcagno? BOURGOGNINO. Is not yet arrived. Make fast the gates! Long enough have we borne the insolence of Gianettino Doria, and the usurpation of Andreas. My friends, if we would deliver Genoa, no time is to be lost.
He glanced nervously at me and was going to begin some kind of explanation, when Miss Doria cut him short. 'Remember our rule, Launcelot. No turgid war controversy within these walls. I agreed with her. The war had seemed closely knit to the Summer landscape for all its peace, and to the noble old chambers of the Manor. But in that demented modish dining-room it was shriekingly incongruous.
Clare, who idly witnessed the estrangement from the Church of the soul of a maiden belonging to a distinguished family; and Doria had told the sovereign of this provoking matter, and expressed the prior's hope that Sir Heinz Schorlin, who enjoyed the monarch's favour, would be won for the monastic life.
"In what way?" she asked, rather coldly. "Well so prompt." "That's the very last word I should apply to him. He took an unconscionable time," said Doria. "He had a very difficult and delicate work of revision to do. Your husband's work was a first draft. The novel had to be pulled together. He did it admirably. That sort of thing takes time, although it was a labour of love."
I hope you will enjoy your run to Portugal. A few days before his departure he received the following from Lord Clarendon: The Grove, October 3rd You will not find Murray at Lisbon, as he is on leave; but a letter shall be written, and to Doria, the charge d'affaires, to render you any service in his power. Do you want one to the consul at Oporto? I am glad you approved what I said at Watford.
And all this time the war with Venice continued. At first it promised success, at Pola, for instance, where Luciano Doria was victorious, but at last beaten at Chioggia, and not knowing where to turn to make terms, the supremacy of the seas passed from Genoa to Venice, peace coming at last in 1381. Then the Genoese turned their attention to the affairs of their city.
The way she clears the place of the cobwebs of convention! She's great. Isn't she, Doria?" "I can quite understand Mr. Chayne finding her an uncomfortable charge." "Thank you," said Jaffery, with rather unnecessary vehemence. "I knew you would be sympathetic." He dropped into a chair by her side. "You can't tell what an awful thing it is to be responsible for another human being."
Vaniero and Colonna deserve their full share of the credit of the day; and the gallant Santa Cruz, although at first stationed in the rear, soon found and employed his opportunity of earning his share of laurels. On Doria alone Roman and Venetian critics, and indeed public opinion, pronounced a less favorable verdict.
I had a curiosity to see the palaces of Durazzo and Doria, but it required more trouble to procure admission than I was willing to give myself: as for the arsenal, and the rostrum of an ancient galley which was found by accident in dragging the harbour, I postponed seeing them till my return.
