To the Palace! So, while that poor lady" her voice quavered a little "while that poor lady was kneeling at the bedside of her dead husband," her voice sank, "a great mob of insurgents broke into the Palazzo Rosso, singing 'Fuori l'Italia lo straniero, seized her and the little Count, dragged them to the sea-front, and put them aboard a ship that was leaving for Trieste."
It is asserted in Le Alpi che cingono l'Italia that: "In consequence of the felling of the woods on the Apennines, the sirocco prevails greatly on the right bank of the Po, in the Parmesan territory, and in a part of Lombardy; it injures the harvests and the vineyards, and sometimes ruins the crops of the season.
He was one of those men who were used and despised by their betters, and in using whom Cavour himself was provoked into writing "Se noi facessimo per noi quel che faciamo per l'Italia, saremmo gran bricconi" if we did for ourselves what we do for Italy, we should be great blackguards.
"Venice is old, it is true," he answered, "but Italy is still young." Then he threw back his head and laughed with the happy laugh of boyhood. "Viva l'Italia!" he cried joyously. "She will soon be the greatest country in the world." "Viva Venice!" cried Edith, but Rafael was drawing his boat alongside a flight of steps, and did not hear her.
Rinaldo supposed that he was in fear of Barto, and encouraged him to meet the man confidently. A lusty "Viva l'Italia! Vittoria!" heralded Barto's entrance. "My boy! my noblest! we have beaten them the cravens! Tell me now have I served an apprenticeship to the devil for nothing? We have struck the cigars out of their mouths and the monopoly-money out of their pockets. They have surrendered.
This gentleman, who before he went gave us his card, immediately opened up conversation both with us and with our neighbours, addressing his remarks alternately and impartially to each. He said he was an Italian who had the profoundest admiration for England. I said at once "Lei non puo amare l'Inghilterra piu che io amo ed ammiro l'Italia."
They were met by a band of deserters, who made no claim upon the horses, but stood for drink, and having therewith fortified their fine opinion of themselves, petitioned for money. A kiss was their next demand. Money and good humour saved the women from indignity. The band of rascals went off with a 'Viva l'Italia. Such scum is upon every popular rising, as Vittoria had to learn.
"Beauty is not everything," was his answer; and Rafael racked his brain to think what more could be desired in this wonderland of marble and sky and water. Suddenly the music from the barge swelled into a great volume of sound. "Viva l'Italia!" cried a voice from the bridge, and "Viva l'Italia!" echoed from all the gondolas. Rafael waved his cap in the air.
Emilio rallied his men again and again under a hail of bullets. Several heard him say: "Courage, lads courage! Your Captain dies with you! Avanti! avanti! Viva l'Italia!"
"Evviva l'Italia!" yelled the returning braves in the steerage a very decent set of fellows, it struck me, to leave so cheerfully their vocations of teamster, waiter, fruit vender, and the like, and go, unforced, to wear the gray-green coats of Italy, the short feathers of the mountain climbers, the bersagliere's bunch of plumes, and to stand against their hereditary foes the Austrians, up in the snowy Alps.
