"Thou art at thy ease, here, Gelsomina," cried the latter, entering and throwing herself into a seat, like one fatigued. "Thy mother is better, and thou art truly mistress of the house." "I would I were not, Annina; for I am young to have this trust, with this affliction." "It is not so insupportable, Gessina, to be mistress within doors, at seventeen!

"Not as often as she could wish, I am certain, for her aunt has not quitted her room for many, many months." "Thou art an excellent daughter, kind Gessina, and would make all others as virtuous as thyself. And thou hast been to return these visits?" "Never.

"I have found neither so, and I will give up the first with joy, whenever my poor mother shall be able to take command of her own family again." "This is well, Gessina, and does credit to the good father confessor. But authority is dear to woman, and so is liberty. Thou wast not with the maskers yesterday, in the square?"

"Annina has wearied thee with her idle discourse of the regatta, and of murders on the canals. Thou wilt not judge her harshly, for the manner in which she spoke of Giuseppe, who may deserve this, and more. But I know thy impatience, and I will not increase thy weariness." "Hold, Gessina this girl is thy cousin?" "Have I not told thee so? Our mothers are sisters." "And she is here often?"
