"Signor Duca," he said, "I have been thought worthy to be retained by Don Camillo Monforte!" "I deny it not and now that thou recallest the occasion, new light breaks in upon me. Villain, to thy faithlessness I owe the loss of my bride!" Though the rapier was at the very throat of Jacopo, he did not flinch. Gazing at his excited companion, he laughed in a smothered manner, but bitterly.
"Signore, in this, I am I have the assurance from the mouth of Don Camillo Monforte himself, that he will not return." "This is impossible, since it would involve a loss of all his fair hopes and illustrious fortunes." "He consoled himself, Signore, with the possession of the heiress of Tiepolo's love, and with her riches."
Your ancestors were senators and Doges of Venice, while mine have been, since the fishermen first built their huts in the Lagunes, laborers on the canals, and rowers of gondolas. You are powerful, and rich, and courted; while I am denounced, and in secret, I fear, condemned. In short, you are Don Camillo Monforte, and I am Jacopo Frontoni!"
Hast thou any knowledge of a noble Calabrian, who hath high claim to the senate's honors, and who hath long had his abode in Venice?" "Signore, I have." "Hast thou had aught of concern with him?" "Signore, yes." A movement of common interest made itself apparent among the auditors. "Dost thou know where the Don Camillo Monforte is at present." Jacopo hesitated.
"Truly that decency hath not been overlooked; one in a flowered jacket guides the boat." "Speak, then, dearest Florinda, I pray thee." "Would it be seemly?" "Indeed I think it. Speak them fair. Say that I am the Senate's that it is not discreet to urge a daughter of the state thus say what thou wilt but speak them fair." "Ha! it is Don Camillo Monforte!
If Don Camillo Monforte has claims in Venice, whether it be to palaces on the canals, or to lands on the main; to honors in the state, or voice in the senate; justice should be rendered without delay, lest it be said the Republic vaunts more of the sacred quality than it practises." "Thou speakest as a guileless nature prompts.
Adieu, my Angiolina." When the Carmelite re-entered the apartment of Donna Violetta his face was covered with the hue of death, and his limbs with difficulty supported him to a chair. He scarcely observed that Don Camillo Monforte was still present, nor did he note the brightness and joy which glowed in the eyes of the ardent Violetta.
"The prevention of crime is better than its punishment, and such is the true object of all government. Thou wilt not withhold the name of thy correspondent?" "It is a noble Neapolitan, who hath long sojourned in Venice, on matters touching a great succession, and some right even to the senate's dignity." "Ha! Don Camillo Monforte! Am I right, sirrah?" "Signore, the same!"
Coming by rail from Lugo or Monforte toward Tuy and Vigo, the train suddenly escapes from the savage cañon where the picturesque Miño rushes and boils beside the road, and emerges into a broad and fertile valley where figs, grapes, and olives grow in profusion. This valley is broad, its soil is of golden hue, and the sky above it is as brilliantly blue as a sapphire.
Don Camillo Monforte landed near the retired graves of the proscribed. As he wished to ascend the low sand-hills, which have been thrown up by the waves and the winds of the gulf on the outer edge of the Lido, it was necessary that he should pass directly across the contemned spot, or make such a circuit as would have been inconvenient.
