This between ourselves there is no one by to hear us. Between ourselves you are an impertinent jackanapes, and presume upon the credit of your uncle. No one by to hear us, indeed! GIANETTINO. Sister! sister! don't be angry. I'm only merry because Fiesco is still as much a coxcomb as ever. That's all I wanted to know. The former, LOMELLINO, entering. Pardon my boldness, gracious lady.
"In earnest, friend, tell me the price of this fish!" said Gianettino. "I have demanded twenty ducats for it," sadly responded the fisherman, "and it is sold for that sum." "Impossible! In that case it would not be lying here!" replied Gianettino. "Or had the man paid you the money, and now gone for a cart for the conveyance of the giant?" "I have not yet been paid."
I'll manage that for you. Continue your preparations, and may success attend your enterprise! I'm much obliged to you. The former A GERMAN of the body-guard. GIANETTINO. What now? GERMAN. Passing by the gate of St. Thomas I observed a great number of armed soldiers hastening towards the harbor. The galleys of the Count Fiesco were preparing for sea. GIANETTINO. Is that all? Report it no further.
"Gentlemen," said Gianettino, modestly casting down his eyes, "I do not understand your praises, and it seems to me I only deal like a man of honor, as every one of you would do! This honest man taxes his wares too low; I give him what they are worth! That is all. If I acted otherwise I should not long remain in the service of the lofty and generous Cardinal Bernis!
A noisy allegro, during which the back scene opens, and discovers a grand illuminated saloon, many masks dancing. At the side, drinking and playing tables, surrounded with company. GIANETTINO, almost intoxicated, LOMELLINO, ZIBO, ZENTURIONE, VERRINA, CALCAGNO, all masked. Several other nobles and ladies. Bravo! Bravo! These wines glide down charmingly. The dancers perform a merveille.
GIANETTINO. I did, my lad! and I must make her acquaintance. LOMELLINO. That I can manage for your grace. Can you? Can you? Lomellino, you were a candidate for the procuratorship. You shall have it. LOMELLINO. Gracious prince, it is the second dignity in the state; more than threescore noblemen seek it, and all of them more wealthy and honorable than your grace's humble servant.
I shall pay you six-and-thirty ducats for him!" The crowd, which had maintained an anxious and breathless silence during this negotiation, now broke out with a loud and exulting shout. "That is a real nobleman!" "Evviva il ministro della cucina! Il grande Gianettino!" "That is no parsimonious Spaniard! He is a French cavalier. He will buy no gudgeons, but will have the right Roman fish."
