You sent me off in time; one hour later, a new crime would have been committed." "And Madame d'Harville?" "She is overjoyed at regaining her father's affection, and at having arrived in time, thanks in your advice, to save him from certain death." "Polidori?" "Was once more the worthy accomplice of the stepmother of Madame d'Harville. But what a monster is this step-mother! what audacity!
"Guided by an instinct which I cannot yet account for, my first movement was to seize the vial. "Remarking the surprise and alarm of my step-mother and Polidori, I felicitated myself on my action. My father, stupefied, seemed irritated, at seeing me, as I expected.
At first it was received with great distrust, and indeed violently opposed, but the good sense of the Indians ultimately prevailed; and I do not believe that there is one of the Shoshones born since the settlement was formed who has not been vaccinated; the process was explained by the Padres Marini and Polidori to the native medical men, and is now invariably practised by them.
His eminence in his profession was not obtained without a long struggle against great difficulties, for at the age of twelve he lost his father, who had kept a school, and became dependent upon friends for his education. His musical talent was remarkable at an early age, and he received his first instruction from an Italian named Polidori.
"Ah, indeed, this is strange," said the abbe, much interested. "I was entirely ignorant of these circumstances; but what is the matter, my good M. Ferrand? You seem to be suffering." "In truth," said the notary, wiping the cold sweat from his brow, "I have a slight headache, but it will soon pass away." Polidori shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
"I have easily persuaded my father to leave Les Aubiers to-day," resumed Rudolph, continuing to read the letter from Madame d'Harville: "too many sad recollections attend him here; although his health is delicate, the journey and change of air may be of service, as the physician says who has taken the place of Dr. Polidori.
And Polidori! Oh, my lord, you have often been pleased to thank me for what you call the proofs of my devotedness." "I have always had proofs of your friendship, my good Sir Walter." "Well, never, your highness, never no, never has this friendship been put to a severer test than in this affair," said the squire, in a half joking manner. "How is that?"
The crew consisted of the captain, his son, and twelve men; and there were also on board five of our household, who had been despatched upon various commissions, Giuseppe Polidori, the youngest of our missionaries, one of our gunsmiths, one of our masons, and two Italian farmers. Melancholy as was this loss, it did not abate the exertions of those who were left.
Rudolph resumed the perusal of the letter. "After a conversation in German, which lasted for some moments, Sir Walter said to Polidori, 'Now answer, was it not madame, and he pointed at my step-mother, 'who, at the time of the illness of my lord's first wife, introduced you in the house as a physician? 'Yes, it was she, answered Polidori.
Unfortunately the greater part of his correspondence has perished. In the two small volumes collected by Polidori, and in the small additional volume of letters to Simon Contarini, Venetian Ambassador at Rome, unearthed a few years since in the Venetian archives by Castellani, we have all that is known. It is but a small fraction of his epistolary work, but it enables us to form a clear opinion.
