The portière was lifted and the footman announced, "Suo Eccellenza il Duca di Scorpa!" "Ah, I hope I do not intrude upon the family gaiety!" The duke's face was insinuatingly bland and his manner smooth as an eel. The dancers stopped instantly.
I smiled and shook my head. Vincenzo looked dubious, but finally summoned up courage to say: "Will the eccellenza permit " "You to make a fool of yourself?" I interrupted, "by all means! Take your own time, enjoy the fun as much as you please; I promise you I will ask no account of your actions." He was much gratified, and attended to me with even more punctiliousness than usual.
"Well, then, eccellenza, the lugger was near the Island of Capri, on the side next the Mediterranean, which you know, S'nore, is on the side opposite to the bay and near, as might be, abreast of the house of Giacomo Alberti does your eccellenza know anything of the house I mean?" "Not I; but tell your story as if I knew all about it. It is these particulars which give value to a tale.
"Enter, eccellenza, while I run to tell him of his happiness." Gelsomina did not hesitate, though she felt a violent throb at the heart when she heard the key turning in the lock behind her. She was in an ante-chamber, and inferring from the light which shone through the door of an adjoining room that she was to proceed, she went on.
I am no better than yourselves, Signori, and, though a better mountaineer perhaps, I rely on the favor of the saints to be succored, or my time must finish among the snows instead of in the surf of a sea-shore, as, until now, I had always believed would be my fate." "But the dog thy admirable dog!" "Ah, eccellenza, Nettuno is but a useless beast, here!
As for our obedience ECCELLENZA, we are both royally paid to obey!" Rivardi flushed red. "I know!" he said, curtly "I never forget it. But money is not everything." Gaspard's mobile French face lit up with a mirthful smile. "It is most things!" he replied "Without it even science is crippled. And this lady has so much of it! it seems without end!
You will not have to wait long, and in the mean time," here I smiled, "you can make love to Lilla." Vincenzo did not return the smile. "But but," he stammered, sorely perplexed "if I go to Avellino I cannot wait upon the eccellenza. There is the portmanteau to pack and who will see to the luggage when you leave on Friday morning for Rome?
"In love, amico, art thou? So soon! three days and thou hast fallen a prey to the smile of Lilla! I am sorry for thee!" He interrupted me eagerly. "The eccellenza is in error! I would not dare she is too innocent she knows nothing! She is like a little bird in the nest, so soft and tender a word of love would frighten her; I should be a coward to utter it." Well, well!
It may be some idle conceit, however, connected with this same affair. What is your wish, Ghita? This is Don Horatio Nelsoni, the illustrious English admiral, of whom you have heard so much." "Eccellenza, I am sure of it," answered Ghita, earnestly; "my good uncle, here, has told you who we are; and you may well guess our business. We came from St.
"Your eccellenza has a right to my place, for no prophet could have better divined my intention;" answered the laughing knave.
