"'It shall have a tower, he said, 'whence I can see Venice at every hour of the day, and I shall call it "Pippa's Tower".... We will throw a rustic bridge across the streamlet in the ravine." And then, in a graver mood: "It may not be for me to enjoy it long who can say? But it will be useful for Pen and his family.... But I am good for ten years yet."
A room of the "palace by the Dome," of which Pippa seems to stand in so much awe, opens before us.
