Ferrari never painted anything at once truer to life and nobler in tragic style than the fainting Virgin. Her face expresses the very acme of martyrdom not exaggerated nor spasmodic, but real and sublime in the suffering of a stately matron. In points like this Ferrari cannot be surpassed.
He had previously heard that Ferrari was with Lord and Lady Montbarry, at one of the old Venetian palaces which they had hired for a term. Being a friend of Ferrari, he had gone to pay him a visit. Ringing at the door that opened on the canal, and failing to make anyone hear him, he had gone round to a side entrance opening on one of the narrow lanes of Venice.
The little porch over-grown with star-jasmine looked strangely and sorrowfully familiar to my eyes, and my heart experienced a sickening pang of regret for the past, as I pulled the bell and heard the little tinkling sound to which I was so well accustomed. Ferrari himself opened the door to me with eager rapidity he looked excited and radiant.
Oh, what bitter shafts of agony Ferrari carried in his heart at that moment, I thought. HOW he had looked when I said she never cared for him! Poor wretch! I pitied him even while I rejoiced at his torture. He suffered now as I had suffered he was duped as I had been duped and each quiver of his convulsed face and tormented frame had been fraught with satisfaction to me!
My seconds would consider it very natural that I should remove the smoke-colored spectacles in order to see my aim unencumbered the only person likely to be disconcerted by my action was Ferrari himself. The more I thought of it the more determined I was to do it.

I glanced at him coldly, and addressed my answer to my wife. "Signor Ferrari is perfectly right," I said, bending over her, and speaking in a low tone; "I am often ungallant enough to avoid the society of mere women, but, alas! I have no armor of defense against the smile of an angel." And I bowed with a deep and courtly reverence.
You have been described to me, by Miss Lockwood, as rather a nervous, timid sort of person and, if I may trust my own observation, I should say you justify the description. 'If you had lived in the country, sir, instead of living in London, Mrs. Ferrari replied, 'you would sometimes have seen even a sheep turn on a dog. I am far from saying that I am a bold woman quite the reverse.
"He will break his heart if he is not allowed to bind up my wounds!" "I see you are in good spirits, conte," remarked Captain Freccia, as we took our seats in the carriage. "It is always the way with the man who is in the right. Ferrari, I fear, is not quite so comfortable." And he proffered me a cigar, which I accepted.
I could not hear what they said except at the end, when these two strangers consented to appear as seconds for Signor Ferrari, and they at once left him, to come straight to this hotel. And they are arrived, for I saw them through a half-opened door as I came in, talking with the Marquis D'Avencourt." "Well!" I said, "and what of Signor Ferrari when he was left alone by his two friends?"
