All dogs think it is warmer in the light than in the shadow. Regina rose, got a long black cloak and a dark veil without lighting a candle, and put them on. Then she went out. Ercole walked on when he saw some one come out of No. 16, for he did not recognise Regina. She followed him at a distance.
Ercole often received gifts of Barbary horses from the Sultan of Tunis or the famous Gonzaga stables that were reckoned the best in Italy, and bought Spanish jennets and steeds of Irish race to improve his own breed.
"Poor fellow," he said presently, "it appears to me you are in love." "It appears to you, does it? 'Appears' a beautiful word, in faith. I can tell you it appears to me so, too. Ah! it 'appears' to you very good indeed!" And Nino waxed wroth. "I will give you some advice, Ninetto mio. Do not fall in love with anyone. It always ends badly." "You come late with your counsel, Sor Ercole.
"Duke Ercole and his two sons," wrote the Ferrarese annalist, "are gone to meet the King of France. As for the Duke of Milan, his name is never mentioned, and you might think that he had never lived."
After a time, Padre Francesco remembered a piece of news which he had not yet told, cleared his throat, stirred the contents of his pipe with the point of a dangerous-looking knife, and looked at his companion for a full minute. "Speak," said Ercole, who understood these premonitory signs. "There has been one here who asked after you," Padre Francesco began.
He came out of the little stage door of the Apollo theatre at Tor di Nona, and his eyes fell upon the broad bills and posters announcing the first appearance of "Giovanni Cardegna, the most distinguished pupil of the Maestro Ercole de Pretis, in Donizetti's opera the 'Favorita." His heart sank at the sight of his own name, and he turned towards the Bridge of Sant' Angelo to get away from it.
However, the next day Prosperi reports that the famous goldsmith Caradosso has just arrived with a quantity of rubies and diamonds, which Messer Lodovico has bought for two thousand ducats, and is having strung into necklaces for his wife's ladies. A week of brilliant festivities had been arranged by Duke Ercole in honour of his son-in-law.
The huge dog sat upright on his haunches, his head thrown up and back, his terrible lower jaw trembling as he howled, and howled again, waking great echoes where the roar of wild lions had rung long ago. Regina started, though she did not move a step; but an unreasoning fear fell upon Ercole. He could not see her face, as the dark veil hung down.
They urged that they did not trust themselves to attack Cesare with men actually in his pay; whilst Bentivogli treacherous by nature to the back-bone of him actually went so far as to attempt to open secret negotiations with Cesare through Ercole d'Este of Ferrara. On October 2 news of the revolt of the condottieri and the diet of Magione had reached the Vatican and rendered the Pope uneasy.
Winter weather, and the practice of his profession likewise, delayed Ercole so much that it was nearly Easter before he brought his certain intelligence to the Chevalier, and to the lady an elixir of love, clear and coloured as crystal, and infallible as an inspirer of affection.
