'She is an incarnate fiend, I thought, 'and admirably fitted to mate with the bandit captain. Such was my reflection then; and the lapse of a few hours has only served to strengthen the impression. You may now judge whether I have formed an unworthy attachment!" "She is worthy of you, captain!" exclaimed Lomellino. "Know you who she is?" "Not a whit," replied Stephano Verrina.
Away! for this unhappy princess I will prepare a funeral so splendid that life shall lose its charms, and cold corruption glitter like a bride. Follow your duke! ANDREAS. Yonder they go, with shouts of exultation. LOMELLINO. They are intoxicated with success. The gates are deserted and all are hastening toward the senate-house. ANDREAS. It was my nephew only whom Genoa could not brook.
'Tis well, act as you please; but ere you sit in judgment over ME, signors, I shall take the liberty of passing sentence upon some few of YOU. Now mark me, you see in me the murderer of Conari, the murderer of Paolo Manfrone, the murderer of Lomellino. I deny it not. But would you know the illustrious persons who paid me for the use of my dagger?"
The Doge had scarcely ceased to speak, when Lomellino entered the room, conducting a tall young man, richly habited in the Grecian fashion. "My gracious lord," said Lomellino, "I present to you the Count Flodoardo, who humbly sues for your protection." Flodoardo uncovered his head in token of respect, took off his mask, and bowed low before the illustrious ruler of Venice. Andreas.
Ah, when one is grown old, and conversing with an Andreas, it is easy to forget everything else. My lord, I sought you with a request, a request, too, of consequence. Andreas. You excite my curiosity. Lomellino. About a week ago there arrived here a young Florentine nobleman called Flodoardo, a youth of noble appearance and great promise. Andreas. Well? Lomellino.
GIANETTINO. It does not signify would that Spinola were but here. Fiesco will be found dead in his bed. I have taken measures for it. LOMELLINO. But it will cause great consternation. GIANETTINO. In that lies our security. Common crimes but move the blood and stir it to revenge: atrocious deeds freeze it with terror, and annihilate the faculties of man.
But the Doge, Lomellino, Manfrone, and Conari, men who had established the fame of Venice on so firm a basis that it would require centuries to undermine it; men in whose society one seemed to be withdrawn from the circle of ordinary mortals, and honoured by the intercourse of superior beings, men who now graciously received the Florentine stranger into their intimacy, and resolved to spare no pains in forming him to support the character of a great man; it could not long escape the observation of men like these, that Flodoardo's gaiety was assumed, and that a secret sorrow preyed upon his heart.
Lomellino is procurator." ZENTURIONE. "Lomellino is procurator." And threw his sword upon the table. ASSERATO. And called out, "'Tis good-for-nothing!" and threw his sword upon the table. On what are you resolved? ZENTURIONE. The republic is wounded to its very heart. On what are we resolved? FIESCO. Zenturione, rushes may yield to a breath, but the oak requires a storm.
Manfrone and Lomellino are at supper with the worms. And I have thrown the Doge himself into such a fit of terror that I warrant he will not recover himself easily. Now answer are you content with me, you bloodhounds?" "Next, then, for Flodoardo!" shouted Parozzi. "Flodoardo!" muttered Abellino between his teeth; "hum hum that's not so easy."
On the following evening the Marquis, Giulia, and Flora quitted the robbers' stronghold all three were carefully blindfolded, and safely conducted amidst the dangers of the egress by Stephano, Lomellino, and another bandit.
