There was nothing for it but to find some snug little marquisate "marchese" sounded very well, though one could not be called "eccellenza" by one's servants; still, as the daughter of a prince, she might manage even that. "Marchese" yes, that would do. What a pity there were only four "canopy" marquises "marchesi del baldacchino" in Rome with the rank of princes!
And on the point of marrying ah, Dio! love makes all the troubles go so!" and taking his cigar from his mouth, he puffed a ring of pale smoke into the air and laughed gayly. Then suddenly lifting his cap from his clustering black hair, he added, "All joy be with you, eccellenza!" I smiled and thanked him. I noticed he looked at me curiously. "You think I have changed in appearance, my friend?"
"The eccellenza must pardon me," he said, "but I have just looked at death, and my taste is spoiled for carnival. Again the eccellenza is sad it is necessary that I should accompany him to Avellino." I saw that his mind was made up, and I was in no humor for argument. "As you will," I answered, wearily, "only believe me, you make a foolish decision.
"A very good name, Signore, and one of which you have no need to be ashamed. And thine?" turning to the girl. "Ghita Caraccioli, Eccellenza; the sister's daughter of this honest tower-keeper of the prince." Had a bomb exploded over the Foudroyant, Nelson certainly would not have been as much startled; while the lady's beautiful face assumed a look of dark resentment, not unmingled with fear.
She was more beautiful still when she smiled and the anxiety died out of her girlish face for a moment, in gratitude for the sympathy. "Eccellenza, thanks," she answered simply; "he has a beautiful face. Sometimes when he has flowers in his little hand he smiles and is quite still."
Remember that honorable signori will hear what you say; therefore, for your own credit, speak to the point; and speak nothing but truth, for the love of God." "Then, S'nore, first as to where I saw her does your eccellenza mean where I was at the time, or where the lugger was?" "Where the lugger was, fellow. Dost think Sir Kooffe cares where thou spent thy day!"
As my sister was honestly married, I could do no less than bring up her daughter to bear a name that her father was permitted to bear before her." "Such things are common and require no apology. One question more before I explain to the English admiral what you have said. Does Prince Caraccioli know of the existence of this grand-daughter?" "Eccellenza, I fear not.
"I know not if it be reason, illustrious Signore, but it is what they say, and, eccellenza, it is holy truth. We are poor workmen of the Lagunes, who rise with the day to cast our nets, and return at night to hard beds and harder fare; but with this we might be content, did the senate count us as Christians and men.
He was a fat, well-natured man, full of a smiling goodwill; and he stood before us in a radiant desperation. Would Eccellenza descend, look at the water in front, and decide whether to go on? The conductor desired to content; it displeased him to delay, ma, in somma! the rest was confided to the conductor's eloquent shoulders and eyebrows.
He was anxious that the step, which he had had a large share in taking, should result in a great and universally admitted success. "Eccellenza! I have no doubt that your lordship will be satisfied in these respects. Most true it is, as your Excellency so judiciously remarks, that we require something more than merely a beautiful face, or even than a fine figure.
