The Palazzo Strozzi should not be left out of the catalogue; it has already stood for 360 years, and looks as though it had been completed but yesterday. In the museum of natural history stuffed animals and their skeletons are preserved.
For, by my mother's soul, I swear that, if ever there comes to pass the most trifling interchange of thought between Prince Eugene and the Marchioness de Strozzi, he shall die die, if I have to expiate the deed upon the scaffold! Do you believe me now?" "I must believe you," returned Laura, sickening with disgust.
Consequently, the Gondi, Strozzi, Ruggieri, Sardini, etc., in short, all those who were called distinctively "the Italians," were compelled to employ greater resources of mind, shrewd policy, and courage, to maintain themselves at court against the weight of disfavor which pressed upon them.
Nor did Aldo Manuzio believe in Lucretia's guilt, for in 1513 he dedicated to her an edition of the poems of the two Strozzi, father and son, accompanied by an introduction in which he praises her to the skies. In the meantime Julius II had formed the League of Cambray, which was to crush Venice, and which Ferrara had also joined.
He is beginning to be absolutely afraid of the little ex-abbe." "And I too fear him," said Strozzi, gnashing his teeth. "He bears a charmed life, or he would not see the light of heaven to-day. I thought I had him beyond all power of rescue, once in Venice. So sure was I that he must die, that I hastened to Laura and announced his demise.
His wife, one of the Strozzi, died while Agnolo was between thirty and forty; but he never married again. He was a great friend of Lionardo Aretino, who published nothing without his approval. He lived to be upwards of eighty-five, and died in 1446.
He has bought a gondola, and his secretary is on the lookout for gondoliers, an Italian valet, and a commissionnaire." "You will offer yourself as his commissionnaire, then," said Strozzi, with a sinister scowl. "And be sure you get the place do you hear?" Antonio bowed, and the marquis continued: "In fifteen minutes return to me, and meanwhile begone!"
Strozzi went up to the table, laid his offering on the plate, and bowed: "Will you allow me to take my seat?" said he, humbly, while he took a chair opposite, which old Martino had drawn back for his accommodation. "Do you see, my lord?" said Martino to Barbesieur; "he imagines the marchioness present at all his meals." "He must be undeceived," said Barbesieur, roughly.
M. Gaudin, jointly with the Marquis Strozzi, has thrown much light on the botany of beds of the same age in another part of Tuscany, at a place called Montajone, between the rivers Elsa and Evola, where, among other plants, is found the Oreodaphne Heerii, Gaud. Gaudin and Strozzi. Upper Miocene Strata of France. faluns of Touraine. Tropical Climate implied by Testacea.
She was not, of course, asked to the great Princess Strozzi ball, where the Florentine nobility appeared in the mediaeval pomp the veritable costumes of their ancestors; only a rich American banking family went, and their distinction was spoken of under the breath; but any glory short of this was within Mrs. Bowen's reach.
