That passion was rooted in me; to live and to play were to me two identical things, and as I could not hold the bank I would go and punt at the ridotto, where I lost my money morning and night. That state of things made me miserable.
The Ridotto The Fenice Theatre The Goldoni Theatre Amleto A star part S. Zobenigo S. Stefano Cloisters Francesco Morosini A great soldier Nicolò Tommaseo The Campo Morosini Red hair. Leaving the Piazza at the corner diagonally opposite the Merceria clock, we come at once into the busy Salizzada S. Moïse, where the shops for the more expensive tourists are to be found.
The Captain says he won't stay here to be smoked with filth any longer; but, having been seven years smoked with a burning sun, he will retire to the country, and sink into a fair weather chap. Adieu, my dear Sir. EVELINA IN CONTINUATION Tuesday, April 12. My dear Sir, WE came home from the ridotto so late, or rather so early that it was not possible for me to write.
From time to time, as the informal summary progressed, there was an outburst of indignation. "It was a contest honorable to Venice, and one which Italy will remember," responded a secretary of the Senate, who was a regular member of this ridotto.
I recognized Signora Roccolini as soon as I saw her, but as twenty years had elapsed since our last meeting she did not wonder at my appearing not to know her, and made no efforts to refresh my memory. Her brother was called Montellato, and he it was who tried to assassinate me one night in St. Mark's Square, as I was leaving the Ridotto.

He was very splendid in a suit of green camlett and silver lace, and he wore a flaxen periwig without powder. He was awaiting Rotherby, with whom as he told the company he was for a frolic at Drury Lane, where a ridotto was following the play. He spoke, as usual, in a loud voice that all might hear, and his talk was loose and heavily salted as became the talk of a rake of his exalted rank.
I was in a perspiration, and the weather was cold; I threw myself into a gondola, and in order not to get chilled I landed at the 'ridotto'.
