D'you know that The Dutchman's runnin' in Langdon's name to-day?" "He is? "Yes; he's supposed to own him." "But what's that got to do with Lucretia's price?" "It means that we're goin' to be allowed to win. The other day they laid against her, an' she got beat; to-day they're holdin' her out, so I suppose she'll win, but somebody else gets the benefit."
"Lucretia," he said, "you haven't changed." "You have, Ezra," she replied, looking at the Adam's apple. "I'm an old man," said Ezra Graves. Cynthia could not help thinking that he was a very different man, in Miss Lucretia's presence, than when at the head of the prudential committee. "Ezra," said Miss Lucretia, "for a man you do very well." The judge smiled. "Thank you, Lucretia," said he.
"Gabriel," and the pale scholar seated himself on the bed, "turn your face to mine, nearer; let the moon fall on it; lift your eyes; look at me so! Are you not playing false to me? Are you not Lucretia's spy, while you are pretending to be mine? It is so; your eye betrays you. Now, heed me; you have a mind beyond your years.
His eyes were full of tears, and, suddenly bending over his brother and rearranging a cushion, he seized my hand and covered it with silent kisses. In a moment I had disengaged my hand, full of fear for the result to Eugenio should Signora Lucretia's attention be directed toward us.
On the other side we have her eulogists among her contemporaries and their successors. Here it should be noted that Lucretia's accusers and their charges can refer only to the Roman period of her life, while her admirers appear only in the second epoch, when she was Duchess of Ferrara.
His diary, however, gives no details concerning Lucretia's private life this did not come within his duties. Never did any other chronicler describe the things about him so clearly and so concisely, so dryly, and with so little feeling things which were worthy of the pen of a Tacitus.
The letter to Vernon contained a copy of Lucretia's fatal epistle, and the following lines to Vernon himself: MY DEAR CHARLES, With much deliberation, and with natural reluctance to reveal to you my niece's shame, I feel it my duty to transmit to you the accompanying enclosure, copied from the original with my own hand, which the task sullied.
Well have you replaced a mother!" Before Ardworth could reply, loud and rapid steps were heard in the corridor, and a voice, cracked, indistinct, but vehement. The door was thrown open, and, half-supported by Captain Greville, half dragging him along, his features convulsed, whether by pain or passion, the spy upon Lucretia's secrets, the denouncer of her crime, tottered to the threshold.
The duke and his son were informed by their agents of everything which actually occurred in the Borgia family, as well as of every story which was started concerning its members. The frightful reasons which the disgraced Sforza had given Lucretia's father in writing as grounds for the annulment of his marriage were at once communicated to the duke in Ferrara.
"How can I convince thee of my sincerity, unless thou takest my life as its pledge, maid of Laughton?" And very much tired of standing, Charley Vernon drew her gently to the bench and seated himself by her side. Lucretia's eyes were still downcast, and she remained silent; Vernon, suppressing a yawn, felt that he was bound to continue. There was nothing very formidable in Lucretia's manner.
