"For the Count di Peschiera," said he, aloud. L'Estrange started; and as Randal again took his arm, said, "So that Italian lodges here; and you know him?" "I know him but slightly, as one knows any foreigner who makes a sensation." "He makes a sensation?" "Naturally; for he is handsome, witty, and said to be very rich, that is, as long as he receives the revenues of his exiled kinsman."
Leslie, it is not natural for a young girl to enforce them. What is reason in you is quite another thing from reason in me. Mr. Leslie is young, not ill-looking, has the air of a gentleman, is passionately enamoured of you, and has proved his affection by risking his life against that villanous Peschiera, that is, he would have risked it had Peschiera not been shipped out of the way.
This pleased the landlady mightily when she noticed it, and it created such a feeling of respect for the lad in her mind, that she herself did not question him; and so it came to pass that, indeed, nobody really knew how he came to Peschiera.
For a moment she hung back, staggering under a white fury of blows; then the gale seemed to lift and swing her about and she shot forward through a long tunnel of glistening blackness, bows on for Peschiera. "The enemy's roof!" thought Odo. He reached for Fulvia's hand and found it in the darkness. The rain was driving against them now and he drew her close and wrapped his cloak about her.
But I have learned certain traits in her character that show it to be impressionable to good, and with tendencies to honour. Peschiera had taken advantage of the admiration she excited, some years ago, in a rich young Englishman, to entice this admirer into gambling, and sought to make his sister both a decoy and an instrument in his designs of plunder.
He found Riccabocca exceedingly cold and distant; but he soon brought that sage to communicate the suspicions which Lord L'Estrange had instilled into his mind, and these Randal was as speedily enabled to dispel. He accounted at once for his visits to Levy and Peschiera.
"Where, in the loftiest houses of Europe, find a husband worthy of such a prize?" "You forget that I am still an exile, she still dowerless. You forget that I am pursued by Peschiera; that I would rather see her a beggar's wife than Pah, the very thought maddens me, it is so foul. Corpo di Bacco! I have been glad to find her a husband already." "Already! Then that young man spoke truly?"
"Tu to trompes, ma soeur," replied Giulio Franzini, Count di Peschiera, in French as usual, "tu to trompes; I knew it before he had gone through exile and penury. How can I know it now? But comfort yourself, my too anxious Beatrice, I shall not care for his consent, till I 've made sure of his daughter's." "But how win that in despite of the father?"
Only military genius of the first order could now have saved the Piedmontese, and what prevailed was the usual infatuation. Charles Albert's lines were extended across forty miles of country, from Peschiera to Goito. On the 23rd of July the Austrians fell upon their weakest point, and obliged Sonnaz' division to cross over to the right bank of the Mincio.
Stop that delightful privilege, and, by Jove! sir, there is neither pleasure nor honour in being governed at all! You might as well be a Frenchman! The Italian and his friend are closeted together. "And why have you left your home in -shire, and why this new change of name?" "Peschiera is in England." "I know it." "And bent on discovering me; and, it is said, of stealing from me my child."
