"Heaven hath sent me a good soldier," said the Emperor to the Count, upon descending from the tower. Then Justiniani asked: "Why didst thou spare thy last antagonist?" Corti answered truthfully. "It was well done," the Genoese returned, offering his hand. "Ay," said Constantine, cordially, "well done. But mount now, and ride with us." "Your Majesty, a favor first.... A man is in the road dead.
Three months ago I was spoken to as to an agreement, and I refused to hear of it, but fearing violence I went to the Abbe Justiniani, the Spanish ambassador's secretary, and for a small sum he let me a house in the precincts of the Embassy, where one is safe from surprises.
There were with him Justiniani, the Cardinal Isidore, John Grant, Phranza, Theophilus Palaeologus, Duke Notaras, and a number of inferior persons native and foreign. He had come to see all there was to be seen of the Turks going into position. The day was spring-like, with just enough breeze to blow the mists away.
Constantine and Justiniani did not disarm or lay aside their care. In unpatriotic distrust, they kept post behind the ruins of St. Romain, and saw to it that the labor of planting the hull of the galley for a new wall, strengthened with another ditch of dangerous depth and width, was continued.
Then, from the wall above the breach, whence he had used his bow, Count Corti descended hastily. "Your Majesty," he said, his countenance kindled with enthusiasm, "the Janissaries are making ready." Justiniani was prompt. "Come!" he shouted. "Come every one! We must have clear range for the guns. Down with these dead! Down with the living. No time for pity!"
