My father was always a very indulgent and liberal master, furnished his servants with the best of Italian fare, plenty of fresh beef, wine, and macaroni. We had scarcely got rested, when our tormenter, the confessor, came into our room and said, "Signoras, what is the meaning of all this fandango and folly amongst the servants?
Go in peace, signoras, you have my royal word." We thanked his majesty, and returned to our home with the joyful tidings. O, how brief was our joy! My father, who had been waiting the result of our visit to the palace with great impatience, received us with open arms, and pressed us to his heart again and again.
And how beautiful these Venezuela women, and how handsome the men! In the streets presents of great value were tossed from the carriages to the signoras on the balconies. At a ball the men, the fashionables, wore blue velvet coats, not because of the season, but because it is the customary male festive attire. Caracas was delightful and extraordinarily interesting.
You may be sure that they will do their best to discover how he came to be informed of the hiding place, and he is quite right to send you off at once." "What! are you going away, Francisco?" the two girls exclaimed together. "I am sailing tomorrow in one of your father's ships, signoras." "And you are not coming back again?" Maria exclaimed.
Their conversation was however interrupted, as the day advanced, by the arrival of several ladies of the Roman nobility. And then it was that Nina's virtues receded into shade, and her faults appeared. She could not resist the woman's triumph over those arrogant signoras who now cringed in homage where they had once slighted with disdain.
The signoras and signorinas fell upon them and gormandized; but the signors eyed them with reasonable suspicion. "But, dear father," objected Gerard, "I see not the bifurcal daggers, with which men say his excellency armeth the left hand of a man." "Nay, 'tis the Cardinal Orsini which hath invented yon peevish instrument for his guests to fumble their meat withal.
How glad the signoras will be to hear that the countess has positively gone, never to return! Whom shall I get to replace her? Well, never mind now; some other time we'll settle that little matter. Now to my toilet." He bent his head to the baron, and with light, elastic step passed into his dressing-room. When Kaunitz entered his dressing-room, his features had resumed their usual immobility.
Perhaps, indeed, in the absence of Rienzi, her weaker nature pictured to herself the triumph of humbling the highborn signoras, and eclipsing the barbarous magnificence of the chiefs of Rome; but in his presence, and listening to his more elevated and generous ambition, as yet all unsullied by one private feeling save the hope of her, her higher sympathies were enlisted with his schemes, her mind aspired to raise itself to the height of his, and she thought less of her own rise than of his glory.
They are at a loss when the two English Signoras move together and laugh excitedly at the end of the dance. 'Isn't it fine? 'Fine! Their arms are like iron, carrying you round. 'Yes! Yes! And the muscles on their shoulders! I never knew there were such muscles! I'm almost frightened. 'But it's fine, isn't it? I'm getting into the dance. 'Yes yes you've only to let them take you.
Petersburg; oftener in Paris; occasionally in Rome, Naples, and Florence. Provided with plenty of money and the passport of an old name, I could choose my own society: no circles were closed against me. I sought my ideal of a woman amongst English ladies, French countesses, Italian signoras, and German grafinnen. I could not find her.
