"By heaven!" exclaimed Ferrari, "if this Olympian carouse is meant as a welcome to me, amico, all I can say is that I do not deserve it. Why, it is more fit for the welcome of one king to his neighbor sovereign!" "Ebbene!" I said. "Are there any better kings than honest men? Let us hope we are thus far worthy of each other's esteem."
"Do you not think, Madame, that you owe me something?" "No. What I owe I pay. Think, Mr. Courtlandt; think well." "I do not understand," impatiently. "Ebbene, I owe you nothing. Once I heard you say 'I do not like to see you with the Calabrian; she is Well, you know. I stood behind you at another time when you said that I was a fool." "Madame, I do not forget that, that is pure invention.
"Ebbene, and then his Eminence of Borromeo for it seemeth that only the illustrious play parts in this farce" Fra Giulio continued with keen enjoyment, "his Eminence of Borromeo hath explained at Rome that Fra Paolo was innocent of contempt of rule."
"Ebbene va bene!" the gondolier confessed, joining heartily in the merriment, his grievance, which was nevertheless a real one, infinitely lessened by confession. Suddenly the old man rose and bowed his head, and both gondoliers crossed themselves.
Of course we fell to talking, and it came out that I was a member of the Church of England. "Ebbene, Caro Signore," said he when we shook hands at parting; "mi rincresce che lei non crede come io, ma in questi tempi non possiamo avere tutti i medesimi principii."
"Speed the work, my son," said His Holiness, dismissing him at last, "for I would wear the button myself before I die." Then, raising a beaming face, "Wouldst thou aught further with me, Fra Giuseppe? Ah, I recall! Thou yearnest to preach to thy stiff-necked kinsmen. Ebbene, 'tis a worthy ambition. Luigi, remember me to-morrow to issue a Bull."
He sees sense, and not nonsense. But you're a bit of a Medicean, Messer Tito Melema. Ebbene! so I've been myself in my time, before the cask began to run sour. What's your business?" "Simply to know the price of that fine coat of mail I saw hanging up here the other day. I want to buy it for a certain personage who needs a protection of that sort under his doublet."
At first I was slightly embarrassed by his remark but after a moment's pause I met his gaze frankly, and lighting my cigarette I said, carelessly: "Ebbene! And what then, my friend?" He made a deprecatory gesture with his hands. "Nay, nay, nothing but only this. The signor must understand he is perfectly safe with me. My tongue is discreet I talk of things only that concern myself.
"Ebbene?" said Nino, with his hand on the lock of the door. "I will make you a song to sing to your guitar," said Ercole. "You?" "Yes but without music. Look here, Nino sit down. What a hurry you are in. I was young myself, once upon time." "Once upon a time! Fairy stories once upon a time there was a king, and so on." Nino was not to be easily pacified.
I addressed this amiable garcon in the harsh and deliberate accents of my carefully disguised voice. "By the way, I suppose you know Naples well?" "Oh, si, signor!" "Ebbene, can you tell me the way to the house of one Count Fabio Romani, a wealthy nobleman of this city?" Ha! a good hit this time!
