He had been counting upon smoking it out before arriving at the Palazzo Darino, though he had scented danger from the moment his eye fell upon Vittorio's gondola. A gondolier, however, is early schooled to study any whim rather than his own, and presently Pietro observed, rather than inquired: "To San Giorgio, Signore?" "Sicuro!"
Don Filippo is like his old wolf of a father, and young lambs should beware of him." "Can you tell me of some quiet, decent rooms where I can go to night?" "Sicuro! My husband's brother keeps the Aquila Verde, and you can go there. Giovanni will give you his best room if he hears that you come from us, and he will not charge too much. I am sorry you are going, cara." Olive squeezed her hand.
His Eminence the Lord Prince Cardinal Udeschini was here this afternoon." "What!" gasped Peter. "Ang," said Marietta. "That was Cardinal Udeschini that little harmless-looking, sweet-faced old man!" Peter wondered. "Sicuro the uncle of the Duca," said she. "Good heavens!" sighed he. "And I allowed myself to hobnob with him like a boon-companion." "Gia," said she.
"There's more news of the English Milor and his family," said the host, emphatically. "An English lord.-What English lord?" "Milor Popkin." "Lord Popkin? I never heard of such a title!" "O Sicuro a great nobleman that passed through here lately with his Milady and daughters a magnifico one of the grand councillors of London un almanno." "Almanno almanno? tut! he means alderman."
A bath? What, water." "Full to the brim with water, on the faith of a Catholic. Of course, if this continues I must die." "Oh, sicuro, sicurissimo!" she agreed. "This is very serious, Ippolita. Eh, let me feel you. Are you ever dry, my poor child?" "Dry to the touch, Nannina, dry to the touch. But it is within my body I fear it. I must be sodden, dearest."
There was no mistaking the jet-black hair, the golden complexion and the brilliant eyes of the player, "Siete Italiano?" I asked. "Sicuro!" he answered, joyously: "e lei anche?" "Ah," he said, in answer to my questions, "io non amo questo paese; è freddo ed oscuro; non si gagna niente ma in Italia si vive."
But you are well educated one sees that it is not fit work for such as you." "Never mind that," Olive said eagerly. "How does one begin being a model? I will try that. Will you help me?" Rosina beamed at her. "Sicuro! We will go to Varini's school in the Corso if you like. The woman in the newspaper kiosk in the Piazza di Spagna knows me, and I can leave Pasquina with her. An'iamo!"
And there above the high altar hangs his sword, given him by Pope Paul III, his friend and enemy. There, too, in the left aisle is the Doria chapel, with a picture of Andrea and his wife kneeling before our Lord. In the crypt, which was decorated in stucco by Montorsoli, you may see his tomb. Questo è quel Doria, che fa dai Pirati Sicuro il vostro mar per tutti i lati.
The little girl began to look wise. "I have never seen the Signor Conte." "And she lives in Via Ghibellina?" "Sicuro. In a beautiful palace."
