She is sitting there, close to the window, and it snows so lightly now that her wonderful profile is outlined as clearly as possible against the pane. Good heavens, how beautiful she is! Signer Odoardo walks up and down the room, in the worst of humors. He feels that it is wrong not to go and see the fascinating widow, and that to go and see her would be still more wrong.
Nay, I may not enter, for the Lady Laura will await my coming." "Is this day then so full of gravity that one may not steal a moment to dance at one's own fête, Signer Consiglière?" she retorted, mockingly. But the Lady Laura herself was coming toward them, with slow, stately steps, hiding her impatience for the morning had seemed long.
Signor Falieri, unable to gratify their curiosity, sent for his head servant, who gave them the history of the centerpiece. Antonio was immediately summoned to the banquet hall, where he blushingly received the praises and congratulations of all present, and the promise of Signer Falieri to become his patron, and thus enable him to achieve fame as a sculptor.
Thinking I had come to buy steamboats, a little, shriveled up old man led the way into a dark back office, saying he could give me but five minutes to make known my business. Anxious to facilitate matters, I produced the note, saying that he of course knew the signer by reputation, and would like to discount it out of compliment to him.
El Rey, the King, that almost mythical sovereign, who was ignorantly adored as the personification of wisdom and beneficence, no matter how cruelly Viceroys might misgovern, or Captains-General oppress, was it possible to conceive him a captive, the signer of his own humiliation, the renouncer of his immemorial rights?
"Truly," said he, "I look like a veritable shop-keeper, and he who takes me for any thing else, must be of a more political turn of mind than my host, Signor Montardo, the Prussiano." He turned and left the room to obtain the address of some merchants and a guide from his host. In spite of remonstrances Signer Montardo insisted on accompanying him.
We regret that Michelangelo could not carry out a work so congenial to his talent as this ideal portrait of the mighty Signer Capitano would have been; but we may console ourselves by reflecting that even his energies were not equal to all tasks imposed upon him. The real matter for lamentation is that they suffered so much waste in the service of vacillating Popes.
"Oho," Signer Odoardo says to himself, "it is time to have this matter out." And, going up to Doretta, he takes her by the hand, leads her to the sofa, and lifts her on his knee. "Now, then, Doretta, why is it that you are so disagreeable to Signora Evelina?" The little girl, not knowing what to answer, grows red and embarrassed. "What has Signora Evelina done to you?" her father continues.
My household effects I will sell, and then abandon the valley forever. Tato and I have some money, enough to live in quiet in some other land, where we shall be unknown." "A very good idea, Duke." "But from my respect for you, Signer Merreek, and from my daughter's love for your nieces the brave and beautiful signorini I shall dare to ask from you a favor.
Smith or Lady de Smythe to believe that Signer Macaroni né Jones will reveal to them the secrets of the infinite for two pounds. He may; on the other hand, he may not. That the secrets are there, who but a fool can doubt; it is only Signer Macaroni's power of disinterested revelation that causes my unworthy scepticism.
