What the end might be neither the Giudecca nor San Giuseppe could decide. The Borodinis were proud; Vittorio's father was one of the gondoliers belonging to the palace and always rowed the good Queen Margherita when she came incognito to Venice, a post which greatly enhanced his social station. Vittorio was the only son, and already a member of the traghetto, young as he was.
His friends wished him above all things to marry, but he was still true to Margherita though he had become engaged to the daughter of his nephew. He put the marriage off year after year, till finally the lady he was to have married died, and was buried in Raphael's chapel in the Pantheon. Margherita was with him when he died, and it was to her that he left much of his wealth.
"Then she will probably kill Paolo," said the Countess Margherita, calmly. Blake exclaimed wonderingly: "I say this is worse than Breathitt County, Kentucky. You talk of murders and outlaws as we discuss the cotton crop or the boll-weevil. This is the most fatal country I ever saw." "It is a great pity that such things exist," the Donna Teresa agreed, "but one grows accustomed to them in time.
Procession after procession wound its way to the church where the relic was to be shown, and the crowd grew denser every moment. Presently came the nuns of Santa Margherita. A figure in the crowd pressed nearer. Lucrezia felt a touch upon her arm, and a strong hand clasped hers. The crowd swayed to and fro, and in an instant the two figures disappeared.
When he had come to the end he kept it on his knee and sat for some time quite still. In the letter Hermione asked him to go to the Hôtel Regina Margherita at Marechiaro, and engage two good rooms facing the sea for Artois, a bedroom and a sitting-room. They were to be ready for the eleventh. She wrote with her usual splendid frankness.
The guardian's faith and devotion were sketched in rapid strokes; and when the tiny King had been crowned and his knights and barons of Cyprus and Jerusalem had sworn him fealty, the souls of her listeners swelled indignant within them as Dama Margherita thrilled forth the challenge of the Emperor to the Lord of Iblin to lay down his trust and surrender the child with the customs of Cyprus to him their Suzerain until the boy should be of age.
She laid a detaining hand upon the younger woman's shoulder as she spoke the last words, uncertain whether to confide in her further, and Margherita, having given her assurance, still waited. "For this question of excommunication," the Lady of the Bernardini said at last "lest it should be bruited about by the enemies of the Queen it hath no color of truth.
Ecciva had slipped easily back into her old, mocking, taunting way "go look out thy tire for the morrow and try on thy jewels, for the pageant will be fine: and, do thy best, I shall outshine thee thee and the Dama Margherita! One pageant in six months of woe it is not over much." The pageant had been brilliant, as one may read in the chronicles of the time.
And Artois! There were no rooms engaged for him at the Hôtel Regina Margherita. There were no flowers, no books. Maurice tingled his whole body tingled for a moment and he felt like a man guilty of some mean crime and arraigned before all the world. Then he struck Tito with his switch, and began to gallop down the steep path at a breakneck pace, sticking his feet far out upon either side.
But for thee, cara Margherita it shall be all happiness for thy knight is true and noble like thyself; and my heart is glad that I may give thee to him." "Since I have not chosen him and there are three!" Margherita interposed faintly "but if it is of your Majesty's command ?" "Tell me but this one thing dost love him, Margherita?"
