With his Roman troop, and Montreal's brothers, one at either hand, Rienzi then departed to Rome. That night Montreal gave a banquet to Pandulfo di Guido, and to certain of the principal citizens, whom one by one he had already sounded, and found hollow at heart to the cause of the Senator. Pandulfo sate at the right hand of the Knight of St.

My closet, through yonder door, is thy waiting-room. Ask for, and send hither, Lusignan of Lyons; he is my chief scribe, and will see to thy comforts, and instruct thee in thy business." Angelo withdrew Montreal's eye followed him. "A strange likeness!" said he, musingly and sadly; "my heart leaps to that boy!"

The light which caught Montreal's eye broke forth almost like a star, scarcely larger, indeed, but more red and intense in its ray. Of itself it was nothing uncommon, and might have shone either from convent or cottage.

Adrian, reluctantly reminded of his journey, rose to depart. "I fear," said he to Adeline, "that I have already detained you too late in the night air: but selfishness is little considerate." "Nay, you see we are prudent," said Adeline, pointing to Montreal's mantle, which his provident hand had long since drawn around her form; "but if you must part, farewell, and success attend you!"

"Come, dear Signor," said Montreal, placing the lute in Adrian's hands, "let Adeline be the umpire between us, which music yours or mine can woo the more blandly." "Ah," said Adrian, laughing; "I fear me, Sir Knight, you have already bribed the umpire." Montreal's eyes and Adeline's met; and in that gaze Adeline forgot all her sorrows.

"Villani! ever active in my service!" thought the Senator; "methinks this morning I spoke to him harshly it was churlish in me!" He re-entered the Place of the Capitol he stood by the staircase of the Lion; there was a red stain upon the pavement, unobliterated since Montreal's execution, and the Senator drew himself aside with an inward shudder.

Whether or not such fancies now, for a moment, allured his meditations, conjured up, perhaps, by the name of Irene's brother, which never sounded in his ears but to awaken ten thousand associations, the Colonna remained thoughtful and absorbed, until he was disturbed by his own squire, who, accompanied by Montreal's servitors, ushered in his solitary but ample repast.

Adrian early sought his couch; but his own thoughts and the sounds of loud mirth that broke from Montreal's tent, where the chief feasted the captains of his band, a revel from which he had the delicacy to excuse the Roman noble, kept the Colonna long awake; and he had scarcely fallen into an unquiet slumber, when yet more discordant sounds again invaded his repose.

Ho, scutcheons o'er the vaulted tomb Where Norman valour sleeps, Why shake ye so? why quake ye so! What wind the trophy sweeps? "We shake without a breath below, The dead are stirred to see, The Norman's fame revived again In Montreal's Companie." Since Roger won his crown, Who hath equalled your renown, Brave Lances of the Free?

The divan were in full consultation when an officer entered, and whispered a few words in Montreal's ear. His eyes brightened. "Admit him," he said hastily. "Messires," he added to his councillors, rubbing his hands, "I think our net has caught our bird. Let us see." At this moment the drapery was lifted and the Knight admitted.
