"Not content with this, having learned the particulars of my project, thou sold the secret to the Senate?" "Don Camillo Monforte, I did not. My engagements with the council would not permit me to serve you; else, by the brightest star of yonder vault! it would have gladdened my heart to have witnessed the happiness of two young and faithful lovers.
"Antonio, a fisherman of the Lagunes, favored by his holy patron of the Miraculous Draught, had borne away the prize of gold while a waterman who wore his face concealed, but who hath trusted to the care of the blessed San Giovanni of the Wilderness, is worthy of the silver prize, and that the third had fallen to the fortunes of Gino of Calabria, a servitor of the illustrious Don Camillo Monforte, Duca di Sant' Agata, and lord of many Neapolitan Seignories."
"Nay, Signor Monforte, you could not, in reason, have expected more, in this interview, than the hope of some future termination to your suit some pledge " "And that pledge?"

"Dost thou know the palace of a certain Don Camillo Monforte, a lord of Calabria, who dwells here in Venice?" she asked, after a moment's pause. The gondolier sensibly betrayed surprise, by the manner in which he started at the question. "Would you be rowed there, lady?" "If thou art certain of knowing the palazzo." The water stirred, and the gondola glided between high walls.

The cold expression of the Bravo's countenance changed. "If thou comest from Don Camillo Monforte, why dost thou hesitate to proclaim it? Where are his requests?"
"We are born, and we die that much is known to us all; but the when and the where are mysteries, until time reveals them." "Thou art not a man to act without good motive. Though these Israelites could not foresee their visit to the Lido, thine hath not been without intention." "I am here, Don Camillo Monforte, because my spirit hath need of room.
"Let us retire, by the streets, to thy dwelling, my child," said Donna Florinda, drawing her mantle about her in womanly dignity. "None will offend females of our condition; even the Senate must, in the end, respect our sex." "This from thee, Florinda! Thou, who hast so often trembled for their anger! But go, if thou wilt I am no longer the Senate's. Don Camillo Monforte has my duty."

As he passed slowly along the gloomy arches of the Broglio, his eye sought the person of Don Camillo Monforte.
"I would not be trafficked for, Don Camillo Monforte, but wooed and won as befitteth a maiden of my condition. They may still leave me liberty of choice. The Signor Gradenigo hath much encouraged me of late with this hope, when speaking of the establishment suited to my years." "Believe him not; a colder heart, a spirit more removed from charity, exists not in Venice.
"One who wears so false a face, in common, has little need of a bit of silk to conceal his countenance," she answered, throwing him, notwithstanding, both the articles he required. "This is well.
