Apart from the desperate perturbation of his soul, he thought of the Guidascarpi, whom he knew, and was allied to, and of the Lenkensteins, whom he knew likewise, or had known in the days when Giacomo Piaveni lived, and Bianca von Lenkenstein, Laura's sister, visited among the people of her country.
Merthyr read at a glance that Jacopo had the large swallow and calm digestion for bribes, and getting the fellow alone he laid money in view, out of which, by doubling the sum to make Jacopo correct his first statement, and then by threatening to withdraw it altogether, he gained knowledge of the fact that Angelo Guidascarpi had recently visited the inn, and had started from it South-eastward, and that Major Weisspriess was following on his track.
So dead fell her broken hope that her face was repellent with the effort she made to support herself. He said, 'I address the Signorina Vittoria. I am a relative of Countess Ammiani. My name is Angelo Guidascarpi. Last night I was evading the sbirri in this disguise by the private door of La Scala, from which I expected Carlo to come forth. I saw him seized in mistake for me.
Vittoria was soon in Laura's arms, where, after a storm of grief, she related the events of the journey following her flight from Milan. Laura interrupted her but once to exclaim, "Angelo Guidascarpi!" Vittoria then heard from her briefly that Milan was quiet, Carlo Ammiani in prison. It had been for tidings of her lover that she had hastened over the mountains to Meran.
This is in brief the story of the Guidascarpi. They were the offspring of a Bolognese noble house, neither wealthy nor poor. In her early womanhood, Clelia was left to the care of her brothers.
"You saw my chasseur step up to me this evening, my Laura? Well, not to torment you, he wished to sound an alarm cry after Angelo Guidascarpi. I believe my conjecture is correct, that Angelo Guidascarpi was seen by Major Weisspriess below, and allowed to pass free. Have you no remark to make?" "None," said Laura. "You cannot admit that he behaved like a gallant man?" Laura sighed deeply.
"Guidascarpi!" he said to himself. The name was uttered half aloud. The young man started and closed his book. "You know me?" he asked. "You are Guidascarpi?" "I am." "Guidascarpi, I think I helped to save your life in Meran." The young man stooped over him. "You speak of my brother Angelo. I am Rinaldo. My debt to you is the same, if you have served him." "Is he safe?" "He is in Lugano."
"What does it matter?" he addressed Vittoria. "It is but a shuffling of victims; Lieutenant Pierson in the place of Guidascarpi! I do not object." Count Lenkenstein withdrew his wife and sisters from Sonnenberg instantly. He sent an angry message of adieu to the duchess, informing her that he alone was responsible for the behaviour of the ladies of his family. The poor duchess wept.
"Guidascarpi!" he said to himself. The name was uttered half aloud. The young man started and closed his book. "You know me?" he asked. "You are Guidascarpi?" "I am." "Guidascarpi, I think I helped to save your life in Meran." The young man stooped over him. "You speak of my brother Angelo. I am Rinaldo. My debt to you is the same, if you have served him." "Is he safe?" "He is in Lugano."
An old Italian woman, he said, had accosted him at the foot of the mountain, and hearing that he was truly an Englishman "I am out of my uniform," Wilfrid remarked with intentional bitterness had conducted him to the house of an Italian in the city, where Angelo Guidascarpi was lying. "Ill?" said Vittoria. "Just recovering.
