She looked up, smiling through her tears, for the sudden happiness had moistened the drooping lids. "You are very kind, Signor Grandi. Signor Cardegna is, I believe, a good friend of mine. You say he will be here?" "I received a letter from him to-day, dated in Rome, in which he tells me that he will start immediately. He may be here to-morrow morning," I answered.
If you offer me thirteen hundred I will discuss the matter with you." "I have known you a long time, Signor Grandi, and you are an honest man. I am sure you do not wish to deceive me. I will give you eight hundred and fifty." Deceive him, indeed! The very man who had received fifteen hundred from me said I deceived him when I asked thirteen hundred for the same piece of land!
Iter a deserto Sinay vsque ad Iudeam. Per istud latum et longum desertum, moratur vel potius vagata maxima multitudo malorum, et incompositorum hominum, qui non manent in domibus, sed sub pellium tabernaculis, quemadmodum et olim filij Israel in eodem deserto ambulauerunt, quoniam aquae non manent ibi diu in locis certis: et ideo mutant tabernacula sequentes aquas: non colunt terras, raro manducant panem, sed tantum carnes bestiarum deserti quas venantur, coquentes super petras calefactas ad Solem: fortes sunt et feroces, et velut desperati de vita propria non curantes, qui licet non habeant arma praeter lanceam, et tarchiam, et caput grandi albo linteolo inuolutum, tamen non verentur exercere guerras, et inire proelia contra Dominum suum Soldanum: nam et ego stipendiarius in expeditione Soldani contra eos saepius fui.
Again, after the expulsion, Du Cerceau says, that the Barons seized upon the "immense riches" he had amassed, the words in the original are, "grandi ornamenti," which are very different things from immense riches. But the most remarkable sins of commission are in this person's account of the second rise and fall of Rienzi under the title of Senator. Of this I shall give but one instance:
"Il giovane ufficiale della Fratellanza americana grida: "Nessun Wilson potra togliere all'Italia il diritto al conseguimento del sou diritto al diritto che i tricolore italiano sventoli per sempre sulla Torre di Fiume. Io e i miei colleghi sentiama per Fiume lo stesso sentimento che provate voi, o cittadini di Bologna e d'Italia. Togliervi Fiume e una delle piu grandi barbarie del secolo.
As for Nino, his stern, square jaw was set, and his brow bent, but he showed no emotion, unless the darkness in his face and the heavy shadows beneath his eyes foretold ready anger. "I am no trained, reasoner, like Signor Grandi," said Lira, looking straight at Hedwig, "but I can say plainly what I mean, for all that.
"In that case, sir," I replied, "I would call to your attention the fact that you have asked but one question, whether I were Signor Grandi. I answered that in the affirmative." You see I was apprehensive of what he might do, and desired to gain time. But he began to lose his temper.
I know the Commedia of Alighieri, and Petrarca, and I have read the Gerusalemme Liberata with Professor Grandi, and I can repeat all of the Vita Nuova by heart, and some of the " "For the present that is enough," said the count. "If you nothing better to do have, will you so kind be as to begin?" "Begin?" said Nino, not understanding.
It was he, looking much the same as ever, wooden and grizzly. "I am much honoured, sir," I began, "by seeing you here." "You are Signor Grandi?" he inquired, with a stiff bow. "The same, Signor Conte, and very much at your service," I answered, rubbing my hands together to give myself an air of satisfaction. "Let us not waste time," he said, severely but not roughly.
Then I heard her open the window, and at last she came boldly and opened the door, which turned inward. I sat like a rock, not knowing whether Nino would like me to turn round and look. "Signor Grandi!" she cried at last in laughing tones. "Yes, signorina!" I replied, respectfully, without moving. She hesitated. "What are you doing in that strange position?" she asked.
