Nothing remained of the optimism of a few hours before. The streets of the Marina were nauseating; an infectious odor escaped from the houses; in the arroyo buzzed swarms of insects, rising from the pools at the sound of the footsteps of a passerby.
"As soon as my uncle and myself have landed at the Marina Grande, Raoul," said Ghita, "thou and the American will be certain to seek thy lugger; then thou promisest to quit the coast?" "Why ask promises of one that thou dost not sufficiently respect to think he will keep them?" "I do not deserve this, Raoul; between thee and me, no promise has ever been broken."
Keep your eye on him; stir not from his side, Render me 'count of every step he makes. ODOWALSKY. Rely on me, he'll never cast us off. MARINA. No man is grateful. Once his throne is sure, He'll not be slow to cast our bonds aside. The Russian hates the Pole must hate him ever; No bond of amity can link their hearts. Enter OPALINSKY, BIELSKY, and several Polish noblemen.
"The token!" he pleaded; "for Marina and thou wilt come to see how beautiful she is!" She looked at him searchingly. He did not mean to urge her; he seemed too happy to understand. She rose and going slowly to her cabinet brought him her token a string of great Oriental pearls.
Possibly she reflected, with a shudder, as she laid the relic on the altar of the oratory of the palazzo Giustiniani, that the remembrance of the constant dangers of Santa Beata had incited the Lady Marina thus to peril her life.
The dress of the townspeople is less individual; the head is covered with a white or coloured kerchief, the dress is frequently black, and the modern blouse is sometimes seen. It is interesting to watch the boatloads of country-folk arriving either by the Porta Terra Ferma, close to which are steps and a small harbour, or on the quay by the Porta Marina.
But at this time she did not guess that it was her destiny to bring her country of Anahuac beneath the cruel yoke of the Spaniard. From the moment of my entry I saw that Marina, as I will call her, for her Indian name is too long to be written, took pity on my forlorn state, and did what lay in her power to protect me from vulgar curiosity and to minister to my wants.
I would bring her to thee to win thee, but she will not come. It is thou, she saith, who must send her sign of favor." "I fear me it must be long in going, my Marco; yet I love thee well. How should I send my favor to a daughter of the people!" "Those are the words of Marina Magagnati." "She is wise then; she will help thee to forget."
Marina looked toward the sea, her birthplace, and said, "Is the wind westerly that blows?" "Southwest," replied Leonine.
This world to me is like a lasting storm, hurrying me from my friends. 'How now, Marina, said the dissembling Dionysia, 'do you weep alone? How does it chance my daughter is not with you? Do not sorrow for Lychorida, you have a nurse in me. Your beauty is quite changed with this unprofitable woe.
