"Put out the lamp, in God's name!" cried the infuriated Teresiani. And the cry was repeated by many of his party, as they pressed forward. But the Prussiani, amongst whom were our host and the stranger, had already formed a wall of defence before the store, and were energetically beating back the approaching Teresiani.
"The Teresiani live under the table, no Prussiano has crept there. All the Teresiani would gladly hide as they have often done before." The Prussiani accompanied these words of their leader with joyous shouts. The father guardian trembled with rage; he seized a large dish from the table and dashed it at Anselmo, who dodged in time, and then with a powerful arm returned the compliment.
The Prussians wish to celebrate this feast to convince the Teresiani that they are not disturbed by the king's apparent misfortune, and are now celebrating the victories that their great king is still to achieve." The stranger's face beamed with delight.
"Do you know why I have done it?" said Cicernachi, "yesterday the Teresiani placed before their restaurants the bull of Pope Clement XI., which has just been confirmed and renewed by Clement XIII. It was printed on white satin, and enclosed in a beautiful gilt frame, and underneath it burnt a sacred lamp." "What are the contents of this bull?" said Montardo.
The nobles and the gondoliers decide for or against, and Venice is divided into two great parties: the first for the King of Prussia, the latter for the Austrian empress, Maria Theresa. But I assure you the Teresiani are mean and despicable, bought enthusiasts, and cowardly fools." "Consequently, you do not belong to them, signor," said the stranger, smiling; "you are a good Prussiano."
His sun is clouded for a moment, but it will burst forth again brilliant and triumphant, and blind all his enemies. The Prussians celebrate this feast to defy the Teresiani. They have their club at the hotel of the 'Golden Fleece, and held a grand ball there yesterday in honor of their victory at Mayen.
"Nevertheless, the people will have to obey their princes," said the stranger, with a watchful glance; "and if they command it, will war against the great king." "Not we, not the Italians," cried the host, violently; "our Doge would not dare to side with the Teresiani, for he knows very well that would occasion a revolution in Venice and, perhaps, endanger his own throne.
You bought these fans in Geneva; there are Prussians in Geneva also, then." "Every lady in Geneva has such a fan, and there are no better Prussians in Berlin than in Geneva." "I am delighted, truly delighted," cried the Italian, enthusiastically." The time will come when all the people of Europe will be Prussians and only princes Teresiani."
"Otherwise," said he, "some one might address you who is not on our side, and if you were then to show him your fans, there would be a fearful scandal; the other party is quite as hot-headed as we are, and many a pitched battle has taken place between the Teresiani and the Prussiani. Come, sir; I must accompany you.
"Ah, even the monks are occupied with politics?" "Signor," cried the host, pathetically, "every one here interests himself in politics; and when you hear that our little children are divided into Teresiani and Prussiani, you will credit me. There was a slight revolution yesterday in the Riva Peschiera.
