Precedents were hunted up, and many a story told of women who had done equally desperate deeds under similar provocation. "I feel very little doubt of it, myself," said Manutoli; "there is nothing improbable in such a solution, while it is in the highest degree improbable that Ludovico should have raised his hand against a sleeping woman, enticed by him in the forest for the purpose. Bah!
"Well, you ought to be able to answer that question yourself, Manutoli," replied Ludovico; "you were with lo zio and me that day when we went out to meet her; I am sure you had a fair look at her then." "A look? Yes; and I looked all I could look.
A chorus of protestations of incredulity in every tone of the gamut met the monstrous assertion. "What, after all we heard of her doings at Milan after all the histories of her goddess-ship in every city of Italy?" said Manutoli. "Well, what did we hear of her doings at Milan?
It may be that I shall be detained with him. I suppose that he has had no means of communicating with any of his people since the police folk clapped their hands on him." "Do look in here for a moment, Manutoli. We shall all be anxious to hear about him, poor fellow,", said another of the young men, who had pressed around Signor Manutoli as soon as it was known from whom his note had come.

Given the fact of becoming Marchesa di Castelmare, the lady was not disinclined to become so by catching the nephew instead of the uncle; and small blame to her." "You do not do the poor woman justice, Manutoli."
We will wait here till she comes; and our friends on horseback may as well remain here too," said the Marchese. So the little party drew up, and all eyes were turned to the small cloud of dust rapidly approaching them. "Yes: it is a carriage, and no mistake; and coming along at a good pace too!" said Manutoli. "It is she, no doubt; she was to sleep at Bagnacavallo," returned Ludovico.
Signor Giovacchino Fortini at Home The Baron Manutoli was Ludovico di Castelmare's very good friend.
Permit me to present to you these gentlemen, who have had the good fortune to be selected among many aspirants to that honour, to assist me in welcoming you to our city: the Barone Adolfo Manutoli; my nephew, the Marchese Ludovico di Castelmare."
But I would wager a good round sum that Ludovico did it," said the Conte Leandro; who had by that time recovered his tranquillity. "Oh, now here's Leandro, who begins to think again that he does know something about it," said the Barone Manutoli. "I said nothing of the sort, Signor Barone. How should I know? But everybody may have his opinion, and that is mine.
