The churches of San Giacopo dell' Orio, San Giovanni in Bragora, the Carmine, and one or two more, furnish the only important examples of it. Paul and the Frari began rapidly to affect the Venetian-Arab school.
There was no time to lose, for as that rogue Giacopo had said, Ramiro del' Orca might discover at any moment how he had been tricked, and return hot-foot to find me and extort the truth from me by such means as I had no stomach for enduring.
She looked more closely at me, as if she would have sought the reason of my churlish tone, and I was strangely thankful that she could not see the motley worn by the muffled stranger who confronted her. No doubt she accounted me a clown, whose nature inclined to surliness, and so she turned away, telling Giacopo that as soon as the horses were breathed they might push on.
"Then, wait you there until to-night, or even until to-morrow morning, for these knaves to rejoin you to the end that you may resume your journey." "But we " began Giacopo. Scenting his protest, I cut him short. "You four," said I, "shall escort me for I shall replace Madonna in the litter you shall escort me towards Fabriano.
Ride on at once." "It is vain to ride on," he answered obdurately, insolence rising in his voice. "Another half-league another league at most, and we are taken." "Cagli is less than a league distant," she reminded him. "Once there, we can obtain fresh horses. You will not fail me now, Giacopo!"
The ordinary historical mystery is at least so far clear that one or other of two solutions must be right, if we only knew which. Perkin Warbeck was the rightful King, or he was an impostor. Giacopo Stuardo at Naples was the eldest son of Charles II., or he was a humbug. The Man in the Iron Mask was certainly either Mattioli or Eustache Dauger.
Getting together the three hundred men that constituted his army, Giovanni beat a hasty retreat to Pesaro's magnificent fortress, and that same night he secretly took ship to Ravenna accompanied by the Albanian Giacopo, and leaving his half-brother, Galeazzo Sforza di Cotignola, in command of the citadel.
Then, gathering her mantle about her, and waving me farewell, she rode off without so much as a glance at the cowardly hinds who had failed her in the hour of her need. A moment I stood watching her as she cantered away in the sunshine; then stepping to the litter, I vaulted in. "Now, rogues," said I to the escort, "strike me that road to Fabriano." "I know you not, sir," protested Giacopo.
If you are brisk you will gain the shelter of the Lord Giovanni Sforza's fortress long before Messer del' Orca again picks up the scent, if, indeed, he ever does so." Giacopo laughed derisively till his fat body shook with the scornful mirth of him. "By my faith, I'm done with the business," he cried, and the other three expressed a very hearty agreement with that attitude. "How done with it?"
They stirred, and one of them was momentarily moved into a faint semblance of valour. "We will go with you, Madonna," he exclaimed. "Let Giacopo remain behind, if so he will." But Giacopo was a very ill-conditioned rogue; neither true himself, nor tolerant, it seemed, of truth in others.
