I suspect poor Fritzeli must have been asleep also, that he hadn't seen her before, for she was barely a couple of miles off. She was apparently from Genoa or Spezzia; but the main thing was, that she was travelling our road, and that with a will. I tore off my shirt-sleeve at the shoulder, and waved it, while Fritzeli held up his red sash. But it was an anxious time. On she came, a big frigate.
But he is a noble fellow, and all will be right in the end. Adieu, you best and dearest of all men; continue to love me. Your BERNE, August 25th, 1853. I am back again in Zurich, unwell, low-spirited, ready to die. At Genoa I became ill, and was terror-struck by my solitary condition, but I was determined to do Italy, and went on to Spezzia.
He called his pilots and mates into consultation, and from where I lay I could hear the words, 'Spezzia, and 'Porto Venere, several times; so I suppose they were debating whether or no to keep her head to the gale, or to edge away a point or two, and run for that bay. But with a head sea and a Mediterranean gale howling down from the gorges of the Ligurian Alps, that thing wasn't so easy.
'Are they at Spezzia? inquired Lady Annabel, quickly. 'George has no doubt they are, mother, said Venetia. 'No doubt! exclaimed Lady Annabel, in great distress. 'God grant they may be only wet. 'Dearest mother, said Venetia, approaching her, but speech deserted her. She had advanced to encourage Lady Annabel, but her own fear checked the words on her lips.
Meantime, the question of the drawing-room was "Are you going to Spezzia?" and by the 7th so great a pilgrimage of tourists experts, idlers, cinematographers, special correspondents, ministers of state, Yankees, officers, social stars had flocked to the scene, that accommodation failed in the town and surrounding hill-country, from Le Grazie on the west, to Lerici on the east of the Gulf.
'It has been a trial. And here she placed the letter in her bosom. Venetia could only answer with a sigh. 'I wish Pauncefort would come, said Lady Annabel; 'and yet I do not like to rouse her, she was up so late, poor creature! If it be the dawn I should like to send out messengers again; something may be heard at Spezzia. 'Vicenzo thinks they have gone to Leghorn, mother.
He had, after no long tenure of the Brussels appointment, become editor of the Dublin University Magazine, where for many years his books appeared. He had by this time gone to Florence, became Vice-Consul at Spezzia in 1852, whence, in 1867, he was transferred as British Consul to Trieste, and died there in 1872.
It was decided that the summer of 1822 should be spent with the Williamses, and after some search a house just capable of holding both families was found near Lerici, on the east side of the Bay of Spezzia. It was a lonely, wind-swept place, with its feet in the waves. The natives were half-savage; there was no furniture, and no facility for getting provisions. The omens opened badly.
He first of all defiles it with idle anacreontics in praise of love and wine; but, erasing these by-and-by with his own pious hand, he writes it over afresh with chronicles of a pure and holy passion, and dedicates it to the fair saint of all his orisons. Dalrymple and his wife are now settled in Italy, having purchased a villa in the neighborhood of Spezzia, where they live in great retirement.
In 1822 we find him with his family and a Mr. and Mrs. Williams in Casa Magni, a Roman villa in a cove on the bay of Spezzia. Here the poet and his friends became very fond of sailing in a boat which had been made for them. The boat, which they called the Ariel, was twenty-eight feet long and eight feet broad, and this with the assistance of a lad they learned to manage fairly well.
