Every honest citizen came to consider his tournament now, no doubt, less dangerous than formerly as a fashionable sport. Franco Sacchetti has left us a ludicrous picture of one of these holiday cavaliers a notary seventy years old. He rides out on horseback to Peretola, where the tournament was cheap, on a jade hired from a dyer.
But he is used to expressing himself in dark sayings and subtle parables. He hath tossed us a bone this time must be opened to find the marrow." "Pardi!" ejaculated Messer Giordano; "my dog may have this bone to gnaw, and the Pagan that threw it to boot." They soon reached the banks of the Peretola brook, whence the cranes may be seen rising in flocks at daybreak.
But Castruccio followed them even to Peretola at the gates of Florence, carrying Pistoja and Prato on the way; there he coined money under their walls, while his soldiers insulted over the conquered; and to make his triumph more remarkable, nothing would serve the turn but naked women must run Corsi on horseback under the very walls of the city.
Perhaps he used not to be so long away from you then?" "Ah, yes! he was. Much much longer. So long, I thought he would never come back. I used to cry. Oh me! I was beaten then; a long, long while ago at Peretola, where we had the goats and mules." "And how long had you been married before your husband had that chain-coat?" said Romola, her heart beating faster and faster.
But the news reaching Matteo, he lost no time in waiting upon Ambrogio, assuring him of his daughter’s recovery on condition of his paying him five hundred florins, with which to purchase a farm at Peretola.
