It is the devil, and that night he fell ill and died." 1 "Il diavolo sarebbe saltato fuori della camera in forma di babuino, et un cardinale corso per piarlo, e preso volendolo presentar al papa, il papa disse lasolo, lasolo che ii diavolo. E poi la notte si amalo e morite." Marino Sanuto, Diarii.
"I want none!" said Varillo airily, "You asked twenty-five francs there are thirty. And now as you say you have business in Rome, be off with you!" The man needed no second bidding; delighted with his thirty francs, he called a gay "Buona notte, Signor!" and turning his horse's head jogged down the road at a tolerably smart pace.
Nothing could be less grotesque, less promiscuously interspersed, or more beautiful in its harmonious variety, than the work of this kind in the famous Capella Reale at Palermo. Dr. Webster defines NIGHT-PIECE as "a piece of painting so colored as to be supposed seen by candle-light," a description which we suspect would have somewhat puzzled Gherardo della Notte.
Here, along the Rialto, in all the public squares of Venice, on the doors of the churches, wherever proclamation was wont to be made, the people might pause and read this consoling word of Venice, instead, perchance, of some copy of the interdict which had been smuggled into the city and pasted, surreptitiously, over the Doge's "protest," but which those faithful Signori di Notte the night-watch of Venice were sure to destroy before the morning dawned.
The contralto bells have taught these Western hills the "Angelus" of the French fields, and the hour of night l'ora di notte which rings with so melancholy a note from the village belfries on the Adriatic littoral, when the latest light is passing. It is the prayer for the dead: "Out of the depths have I cried unto Thee, O Lord."
And now they conversed very happily together for some time; though what they said might not be particularly worth recording. Lady Katrine was at Helen's elbow before she perceived her "looking for her sac;" and Lady Castlefort came for her third volume, and gliding off, wished to all "Felice, felicissima notte."
It was, however, the first blow of a vast and carefully sharpened treason, by which the country was soon to be cut in twain for ever the first in a series of bargains by which the noblest names of the Netherlands were to be contaminated with bribery and fraud. While the negotiations with La Notte were in progress, the government of the states-general at Brussels had sent Saint Aldegonde to Arras.

"Dites-moi qu'est-ce-que ce terrible classique notte? Dites!" No one seemed prepared to answer Mademoiselle's challenge.
