This happened at the very time when that Republic had been reduced by long-continued wars and by the loss of the greater part, or rather almost the whole, of her dominions on the mainland to a desperate condition; and the Signori then governing were full of doubt and hesitation as to what they should do.
On a Latin city such as Florence was, Savonarola at first made little or no impression; too often the friars had prophesied evil for no cause, wandering through every little city in Italy denouncing the Signori.
It was not the fisherman's voice which had made Artois wonder, but the voice of the Marchesino. "There are generally plenty of sarde round the islet," continued the fisherman, "but if the Signori would not be too tired it would be best to stay out the night.
There he was a minute or two since, seated by that cannon, apparently an attentive and much edified auditor of a discussion we were holding on the celebrated theory of a certain bishop of your own country; which theory, rightly considered mind, I say rightly considered neighbor Vito; for the view you have taken of this matter is " "Enough of this, for the present, Signori" added Griffin.

"I should like to know, signori," said the Fairy, turning to the three doctors gathered about Pinocchio's bed, "I should like to know if this poor Marionette is dead or alive." At this invitation, the Crow stepped out and felt Pinocchio's pulse, his nose, his little toe.
"And I, sir," said the great man, "will let all Europe know of the amends I owe to the greatest genius our continent has produced." Greedy of the praise which he deserved so well, Voltaire gave me the next day his translation which Ariosto begins thus: "Quindi avvien the tra principi a signori."
