Great was my anger and great my dismay when the ostler announced this news to me, with a broad grin, in reply to my order to put the horses to without delay. "But the marchese himself how did he get here?" I inquired. "Oh, he came by the diligence." "And the count the young gentleman?" "On horseback, signore; but you cannot have his horse. The poor beast is half dead as it is."
Come, Marchese! and you, Monsieur Gaspard! Call to them below to set this Eagle free; we will fly into the sunrise for an hour or two, no farther, as we are not provisioned." "Madama!" stammered Gaspard "I am not prepared " "You are frightened, my friend!" and Morgana smiled, laying her little white hand soothingly on his arm "But if I tell you there is no cause for fear, will you not believe me?
He is one of the first, if not the very first, man in the city; and everybody is cap in hand before him. Evidently a rich man." "And he is a musician, you say?" rejoined Quinto. "Fanatico! But what matters that; except, indeed, as a stepping- stone? What has music done for me? The Marchese Lamberto is a bachelor, Quinto." "Ha! what, the old man?" said Quinto, looking sharply at her.
I tell you he is younger for a man than I am for a woman, God help me! It isn't only years that make people old." "That's true, bambina mia, poveretta. And I am sure I have nothing to say against it if you can fancy this Marchese a gay and handsome young cavalier." "Handsome he is, as far as that goes. I swear he is the handsomest man I have seen here!
She was eight years old when his daughter Donna Peretta was married in the Vatican to the Marchese Alfonso del Carretto with such magnificent pomp that it set all Rome to talking. Lucretia first became conscious of the position to which she and her brothers might be called by their birth when she learned that her eldest brother, Don Pedro Luis, was a Spanish duke.
Lei e troppo garbato, troppo buono; ma troppo buono, davvero!" said the pretty creature; and the appealing eyes looked into his with the semblance of a tear of emotion in them. "Will you allow me the pleasure, Signora, of conducting you to the city in my carriage?" said the Marchese, with a graceful wave of his hand towards his handsome equipage.
"If you imagine, Bianca," he said after a while, "that my nephew would, or could, however much he might wish to do so, make any other kind of proposal to you, you are labouring under a delusion. I speak in all sincerity of heart" "And I have spoken to you, God knows, with all sincerity, Signor Marchese. I have spoken as I have never before spoken to any human being.
The Marchese looked inquiringly at the Prince. "Shall you add to the gaiety of nations, or at least of Florence?" The young man shrugged his broad shoulders. "I suppose so." He was well established as cavalier servente now in the Lorenzoni household, and it was understood that Mamie would be a princess some day. The girl was so young that the engagement could scarcely be announced yet.
"Signor Marchese, the hand that did that deed was no other than the hand of the Venetian girl, Paolina Foscarelli," said the lawyer, with deliberate and impressive slowness, emphasizing his words with extended forefinger as he uttered them. "Pshaw! Is that all you have to tell me?" cried the Marchese, jumping up from his chair, and pacing the room with impatient strides.
Signor Giovacchino Fortini was very decidedly the first man of his profession in Ravenna, as indeed might be expected of the person who had been honoured for more than one generation by the confidence of the Castelmare family. For the lawyer was a much older man than the Marchese, and had been the confidential adviser of his father.
