But we were not so fortunate as to get off without a scolding. The next day the lady came to Madama and complained of our impertinence. Madama scolded us a little; but when she heard what a pitiful buona mano the lady had given us, she could not help laughing herself.
"That was what he said," said Bice, with superb calm. "Now, I remember that was what he said; but I answered that I knew nothing of affairs that it was to dance I wanted, not to talk; and that it was you, Madama, who disposed of me. It seemed to amuse him," the girl said reflectively. "Is it for that reason you kiss me? But it was he that spoke, as you call it, not I."
Giovanni executed a portrait of Madama Margherita of Austria, daughter of the Emperor Charles V, who had been the wife of Duke Alessandro de' Medici, and was then the consort of Duke Ottavio Farnese; and this he did in competition with Valerio Vicentino.
"You are so very serious, you good Padre Aloysius!" she said "And you, Marchese you who are generally so charming! to-night you are a very morose companion! You are still in the dumps about my steering the 'White Eagle! how cross of you!" "Madama, I think of your safety," he said, curtly. "It is kind of you! But if I do not care for my safety?" "I do!" he said, decisively.
"I think not," she said "There is life in them yes, there is life, though for the time it is paralysed. But" here she gave him the loveliest smile of tenderness "You brave Giulio! you are exhausted and wet through attend to yourself first then you can help me with these unhappy ones and you Gaspard, Gaspard!" "Here, Madama!" "You have done so well!" she said "Without fear or failure!"
Bice looked at her with a searching, inquiring look. "I want to ask something," she said. "If I should be beautiful, you were so before me oh, more, more! you we are very lovely, Madama."
"The answer of the Mocenigo was a marvel of courtesy, as it hath been reported, and worthy of a diplomat," Madama de Thénouris continued. "Most graciously he assured the Princess that Venice held her friendship gladly and would not fail of anything that she might do to prove her loyalty to this Crown of Cyprus.
She touched the heavy mourning folds of the Queen's garments, as she spoke. Caterina started in surprise; but she answered in a moment, with a little effort, "Aye it will be sweeter mine also, cara Madama; since never can the grief be less. The Holy Mother, and my figlio dilettissimo it is enough that they know. And it is for his people!"
"There are few enough as it is!" "My dear," the Countess had answered with admirable relevancy, "I hope you are not ungrateful to your guardian." Cecilia was not ungrateful, but she had her own way, for it was preordained that she generally should, and it was well for the Villa Madama that it was so.
At somewhat regular intervals Madama would glide in from the dispensary with a sort of drought-suggesting gleam in her eye, and there would be a rustling of stiffly-starched white trousers as one of the caballeros would propose an adjournment to the bar. That Dicky Maloney would, sooner or later, explore this field was a thing to be foreseen.
