My two hundred Germans will have surrounded the senate-house. At that moment I enter and claim homage as the Duke. LOMELLINO. And what of Andreas? He is an old man. LOMELLINO. But, my lord, the paper? GIANETTINO. Take it, and let it be circulated among our party. This letter must be dispatched by express to Levanto.
GERMAN. Very well. From the convent of the Capuchins, too, suspicious rabble are pouring, and steal toward the market-place. From their gait and appearance I should suppose them soldiers. Out upon this fool's zeal! GERMAN. Does your grace command that they should be arrested? Look to them, Lomellino. 'Tis all well. Our friend Doria seems displeased. May I inquire the reason?
In a word, this dwelling seemed a little fortress in the midst of an exposed and unprotected town. Before this house the robbers stopped. "Do you remain on the other side of the street, Lomellino," said the bandit-chief; "and if need be, you will answer to my accustomed signal." "Good, captain," was the reply; and Lomellino crossed over the way to the deep shade of the houses on that side.
BOURGOGNINO, a conspirator, a youth of twenty; frank and high-spirited, proud, hasty, and undisguised. CALCAGNO, a conspirator, a worn-out debauchee of thirty; insinuating and enterprising. SACCO, a conspirator, forty-five years of age, with no distinguishing trait of character. LOMELLINO, in the confidence of the pretender, a haggard courtier. ZENTURIONE, | ZIBO, | Malcontents.
The Count of Lavagna, with above three hundred nobles, followed to the criminal court. The Moor had been employed to assassinate Fiesco, and in the attempt was seized. What, are all the devils of hell let loose at once? LOMELLINO. They questioned him most strictly concerning his employer. The Moor confessed nothing. They tried the first degree of torture. Still he confessed nothing.
This between ourselves there is no one by to hear us. Between ourselves you are an impertinent jackanapes, and presume upon the credit of your uncle. No one by to hear us, indeed! GIANETTINO. Sister! sister! don't be angry. I'm only merry because Fiesco is still as much a coxcomb as ever. That's all I wanted to know. The former, LOMELLINO, entering. Pardon my boldness, gracious lady.
ASSERATO. The rights of the nation are trodden under foot; the liberty of the republic has received a deadly blow. FIESCO. You raise my expectation to the utmost. ZIBO. He was the twenty-ninth among the electing senators, and had drawn forth a golden ball to vote for the procurator. Of the eight-and-twenty votes collected, fourteen were for me, and as many for Lomellino.
I shall not return to the cavern until very late." The two banditti then separated Lomellino striking off to the right, and Stephano Verrina pursuing his way toward the most aristocratic quarter of Florence.
The old Lomellino seems to be extremely intimate with this Flodoardo. They say he was well acquainted with his father. Memmo. It was he who presented him to the Doge. Parozzi. Hark! Surely some one knocked at the palace door? Memmo. It can be none but Contarino. Now, then, we shall hear whether he has discovered the banditti. I'll swear to that footstep, it's Contarino.
"And double that amount was promised if the affair should turn out successful," added Stephano. "But I have reasons of my own, which you may perhaps understand, Lomellino, for desiring that all idea of that business should be abandoned. And in order that the band may not be losers by this change of intentions, I will give you from my own share of our long accumulated treasures "
