As the tumult ceased, they resolved to seek a boat, avored by such disguises as the means of Gelsomina could supply, and to row to his palace; but reflection convinced Donna Florinda of the danger of such a step, since the Neapolitan was known to be surrounded by the agents of the police.
Ay, fatal, indeed, was that unfortunate billet delivered by Florinda unwittingly to Petro. It was the author of all her present misery, and the consequences to follow were, if possible, of a still more fatal character.
Florinda and Carlton were happy in the anticipation of future joy, foreseeing for themselves a path of roses in the fairy future. "But fortune is fickle, dearest, and even now I tremble." "You are ever suspicious, Carlton." "Not in most matters, but in those relating to thee, Florinda." "Now, I am ever looking on the sunny side of our life-picture."
"I wouldn't drink claret out of a mug to save my soul from being pinched!" "You duffer, you talk like a bloomin' British chump on whom the sun never sets! What do you want?" "Well, there's enough without that what's the matter with you? Three glasses and the little tumbler." "Yes, but if Billie Hawker comes " "Well, let him drink out of the mug, then. He " "No, he won't," said Florinda suddenly.
"Thou art hurried and breathless," returned Donna Florinda; "hast thou seen the Duca di Sant' Agata?" "Nay, question me not, but follow, noble dames." Gelsomina seized the lamp, and casting a glance that appealed strongly to her visitors for tacit compliance, she led the way into the corridors. It is scarcely necessary to say that she was followed.
"There is much between thee and me, Florinda," said her companion, sighing heavily; "and of a metal worse than all others-pride and gold! jailors both of the daring heart!" "Nay, dear Carlton, thou art ever foreboding ills," said the lady persuasively, and in a voice as sweet as that of the idolized Pagoda Thrush of India.
"It's better than liking one of you dubs, anyhow." "Oh, Splutter, you poor little outspoken kid!" said Wrinkle in a sad voice. Grief searched among the pipes until he found the best one. "Yes, Splutter, don't you know that when you are so frank you defy every law of your sex, and wild eyes will take your trail?" "Oh, you talk through your hat," replied Florinda.
Count Julian was governor of Ceuta, a Spanish city on the African coast. His daughter Florinda was maid of honor to the queen of Don Roderic.
"Thou art too winning even to be resisted by one wearied with rebutting plausible pretensions," he added. "The young and the generous, Donna Florinda, believe all to be as their own wishes and simplicity would have them. As for this right of Don Camillo but no matter thou wilt have it so, and it shall be examined with that blindness which is said to be the failing of justice."
He loved Florinda as though she had been his own child. This feeling, as we have seen, was first induced by the affection which existed between his ward and his lamented wife, and was afterward strengthened by her many beauties of mind and person. Carlton and Florinda sat together in a private apartment in the royal palace.
