After half an hour's agreeable conversation he left us, and Marcoline embraced me with delight at having made such a good impression on these gentlemen. "Put on your best dress to-morrow," said I, "and do not forget your jewels. Be agreeable to everybody, but pretend not to see your Uncle Mattio, who will be sure to wait at table." "You may be sure I shall follow your advice to the letter."
And how are we to find him in a town of more than a million inhabitants?" "He is ready found. His name is Mattio Boisi, and he is valet de chambre to M. Querini, the Venetian ambassador sent to England to congratulate the new king; he is accompanied by the Procurator Morosini. My uncle is my mother's brother; he is very fond of me, and will forgive my fault, especially when he finds I am rich.

The accounts which have come down to us note that the song of Aurora was accompanied by a gravicembalo, an organ, a flute, a harp and a large viol. For the song of Night four trombones were used to produce a grave and melancholy support. The music for this entertainment was composed by Francesco Corteccia, Constanzo Festa, Mattio Rampollini, Petrus Masaconus and Baccio Moschini.
The whole amount is in my hands, and if she likes Marcoline can have it all in less than two hours." "Very good; then you must start for Venice the day after to-morrow. Mattio is quite ready to receive you." "I have the greatest respect and love for my uncle, but it is not to his care that your excellency must commend me if I resolve to go." "Then to whom?" "To your own care, my lord.
"You may be sure that I shall play the part very well, although my heart be sad." At the time appointed we waited on the ambassadors, and found that all the other guests had assembled. Marcoline, as blithe and smiling as before, first accosted M. Querini, and then did the polite to all the company. A few minutes before dinner Mattio brought in his master's spectacles on a silver tray.

I made a profound bow to the ambassadors, and called out to the coachman, "To the 'Hotel du Parc'." It was the best hotel in Lyons, and I was not sorry for the Venetians to hear where I was staying. Marcoline was in despair, for she saw that the time for parting was near at hand. "We have three or four days before us," said I, "in which we can contrive how to communicate with your uncle Mattio.
