Father and mother, brothers Bartolomeo and Giacomo, sister Biancinetta, aunts, uncles, and cousins possibly, and possibly for a little while an old grandmother at Quinto these were the people to whom that child belonged. The little life of his first decade, unviolated by documents or history, lives happily in our dreams, as blank as sunshine.
He will sit in the sun there at Quinto, and sip his wine, and say his Hail Marys, and watch the sails of the feluccas leaning over the blue floor of the Mediterranean as long as you please; but of information about son or family, not a word.
"And you fancy the Marchese Lamberto is one of those who can't help himself, eh?" grumbled Quinto discontentedly. "If I ever saw a man who was so limed that he couldn't help himself, it's that poor creature of a Marchese! He's caught safe enough, you may take my word for that, Signor Quinto. He's caught, and can't budge, I tell you hand nor foot, body nor soul! Lord bless you, I know 'em.
"Sirenum Pocula" "Diva Potens" Quinto Lalli was the name by which the prima donna had presented the old gentleman who had shared her travelling-carriage to the Marchese Lamberto as her father. And Quinto Lalli was his real name; but he was not really her father. Nor had she any legitimate claim to the name of Lalli.
DON EDUARDO. Sepa usted que si bien es cierto que he gastado hasta el último real que poseía, también lo es que ya tengo todo listo para nuestro casamiento ... dispensa, cura, testigos, cuarto en que vivir, un poco alto sin duda ... como que está en un quinto piso ... pero en buena calle ... en la calle del Desengaño ... en fin, nada falta ... sino que usted se decida ... y dentro de media hora....

"So that you are all for the uncle, papa mio?" rejoined Bianca; yawning, as if she were tired of discussing the subject.
Then he proceeded to relate how he had taken a long ride with a lady whom he extremely admired. "We turned off from the Tor di Quinto Road to that castellated farm-house you know of once a Ghibelline fortress whither Claude Lorraine used to come to paint pictures of which the surrounding landscape is still so artistically, so compositionally, suggestive.
Isn't the Signor Ludovico the old one's own nephew?" expostulated Gigia shrilly. "The old one, as you call him, is not a bit the more likely to like it for that. It is just the very last thing she should have done. I do wonder she should not have more sense," grumbled Quinto. "Misericordia! why what a piece of work about nothing!
Caldcleugh's travels, however, I should have thought that it had extended, south of the Cordovese range, to near Mendoza, and I may add that I heard of great bones having been found high up the R. Quinto. Hence the area of the Pampean formation, as remarked by M. d'Orbigny, is probably at least equal to that of France, and perhaps twice or thrice as great.
