Hubert, Abbot of Beaulieu, the monastery founded by John in expiation of Arthur's murder, was secretly sent with offers of submission, and two Knights of the Temple arrived at the camp with a message that Cardinal Pandulfo, the Pope's legate, would fain see the King in private.
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.
"You need not seek far for the president of your council," said Montreal, smiling at Pandulfo; "a citizen at once popular, well-born, and wealthy, may be found at my right hand." Pandulfo hemmed, and coloured. Montreal proceeded.
The people pressed round the learned man, with open mouths; now turning their eyes to the picture, now to Pandulfo. "Know you not," at length said Pandulfo, "the easy and palpable meaning of this design? Behold how the painter has presented to you a vast and stormy sea mark how its waves " "Speak louder louder!" shouted the impatient crowd.
"Hush!" cried those in the immediate vicinity of Pandulfo, "the worthy Signor is perfectly audible!" Meanwhile, some of the more witty, pushing towards a stall in the marketplace, bore from it a rough table, from which they besought Pandulfo to address the people.
This done, find out the councillor, Pandulfo di Guido, and bid him seek me here ere the crowd assemble." He then, making the sentinel doff his heavy shoes of iron, led him across the church, resigned Rodolf to his care, saw them depart, and in a few minutes afterwards his voice was heard by the inmates of the neighbouring chapel; and he was soon surrounded by his train.
And may the people hereafter find, that the true boast of a patrician is, that his power the better enables him to serve his country." "Brave words!" quoth the smith, sneeringly. "If they were all like him!" said the smith's neighbour. "He has helped the nobles out of a dilemma," said Pandulfo. "He has shown grey wit under young hairs," said an aged Malatesta.
"He should have seized the Pope's money!" quoth an honest wine-vender. "Ah! Pandulfo di Guido would have maintained an army at his own cost. He was a rich man. What insolence in the innkeeper's son to be a Senator!" "We are not Romans if we suffer this!" said a deserter from Palestrina.
Would he have rejected it had avarice been his motive? And what culpable injustice, to mention the vague calumny without citing the practical contradiction! Still, however, if the death of Pandulfo may be considered a blot on the memory of Rienzi, it does not appear that it was this which led to his own fate.
"Ay, if you, noble Montreal!" said Vivaldi. The company remained hushed in breathless attention, when suddenly there was heard deep, solemn, muffled, the great bell of the Capitol! "Hark!" said Vivaldi, the bell: "It tolls for execution: an unwonted hour!" "Sure, the Senator has not returned!" exclaimed Pandulfo di Guido, turning pale.
