"It is only the offer of Mary-Anne in another form," said Colonna. "Guarantee the dynasty," said Theodora. "There is the point. He can trust us. Emperors and kings break treaties without remorse, but he knows that what is registered by the most ancient power in the world is sacred." "'Can republicans guarantee dynasties?" said Colonna, shaking his head.
I hear from one who never misled me that the Polhes brigade has orders to be in readiness. The Mary-Anne societies are not strong enough for the situation too local; he listens to them, but he has given no pledge. We must go deeper. 'Tis an affair of 'Madre Natura. Thou must see Colonna." "Colonna is at Rome," said the general, "and cannot be spared.
"And yet," continued the general calmly, "there is no manner of doubt that Garibaldi is the only name that could collect ten thousand men at any given point in Italy; while in France, though her influence is mythical, the name of Mary-Anne is a name of magic. Though never mentioned, it is never forgotten. And the slightest allusion to it among the initiated will open every heart.
Of course that is all nonsense, but they keep it up; it affects the public imagination, and my government has undoubted evidence that the word of command has gone round to all these societies that Mary-Anne has; returned and will issue her orders, which must be obeyed." "The Church is stronger, and especially in the provinces, than the Mary-Anne societies," said Berwick.
At present we know that they are in complete organization, and what is most strange is that the prefects write they have information that the Mary-Anne associations, which are essentially republican and are scattered about the provinces, are all revived, and are astir.
"Our refreshment at council is very spare," he continued, and he pointed to a vase of water and some glasses ranged round it in the middle of the table; "but we always drink one toast, general, before we separate. It is to one whom you love, and whom you have served well. Fill glasses, brethren and now 'TO MARY-ANNE."
Mary-Anne, as you know, was the red name for the republic years ago, and there always was a sort of myth that these societies had been founded by a woman.
There are more secret societies in France at this moment than at any period since '85, though you hear nothing of them; and they believe in Mary-Anne, and in nothing else." "You have been at Caprera?" said Mirandola. "I have been at Caprera." "And what did he say?" "He will do nothing without the sanction of the Savoyard."
"I am ardent, my general, perhaps too sanguine, but I have no self-love, at least none when the interests of the great cause are at stake. Tell me, then, their names, and count, if required, on my cooperation." "Garibaldi and Mary-Anne." "A Polchinello and a Bayadere!" exclaimed Mirandola, and, springing from his seat, he impatiently paced the room.
"He wants to get wounded in his other foot," said Mirandola, with savage sarcasm. "Will he never weary of being betrayed?" "I found him calm and sanguine," said the general. "What of the woman?" "Garibaldi will not move without the Savoyard, and Mary-Anne will not move without Garibaldi; that is the situation." "Have you seen her?"
