Everything that happened throughout this fatal month tended to my ruin, for Madame Memmo, mother of Andre, Bernard, and Laurent Memmo, had taken it into her head that I had inclined her sons to atheistic opinions, and took counsel with the old knight Antony Mocenigo, M. de Bragadin's uncle, who was angry with me, because, as he said, I had conspired to seduce his nephew.
Things must change, or if they do not, take my word for it, my friends, this world is no longer a world for us. Memmo. Nay, it's a melancholy truth, that during the last half-year my creditors have been ready to beat my door down with knocking. I am awakened out of my sleep in the morning, and lulled to rest again at night with no other music than their eternal clamour. Parozzi. Ha! ha! ha!
The good and indulgent Mme. Manzoni, "of whom I shall have to speak very often." The patricians Andrea Memmo and his brother Bernardo who, with P. Zaguri were personages of considerable standing in the Republic and who remained his constant friends. Andrea Memmo was the cause of the embarrassment in which Mlle.
In a couple of hours I must attend the Cardinal Gonzaga, and what intelligence shall I have to give him? Memmo. Come, come, Contarino cannot have been absent so long without cause; I warrant you he will bring some news with him when he arrives. Falieri. Pshaw, pshaw! My life on't he lies at this moment at Olympia's feet, and forgets us, the Republic, the banditti, and himself. Parozzi.
Do you not observe how he increases the number of his attendants daily? Memmo. Nay, that is an undoubted fact. Contarino. And then, to what an unbounded extent has he carried his influence. The Signoria, the Quaranti, the Procurators of St. Mark, the Avocatori, all think and act exactly as it suits the Doge's pleasure and convenience!
"Oh, I'll never consent to your going alone, while there is a feud. Here! Polo Griffo! Gian' Franco! Memmo! Take your guns; you must go with my brother." After a somewhat lively argument, Orso had to give in, and accept an escort.
"But how did she know Querini?" "She has seen him at Venice, but she has never spoken to him." "I thought so; we have been laughing over it, but Querini is hugely pleased. But how did you get hold of her? She must be very young, as Memmo says she cannot speak French." "It would be a long story to tell, and after all we met through a mere chance." "She is not your niece."
