The President Manin acknowledged that by his courage and patriotism he had saved Venice, and immediately sent him the commission of a full General. On the 16th of May, General Nugent arrived before Treviso with 16,000 men, and siege artillery. He at once summoned the place to surrender, giving General Lante till noon on the following day for consideration.
They saw that he was in earnest, and one, who was the seneschal, sent orders to his nephew and the gates were opened. The Good Knight took possession of the castle, and within the walls of Treviso found more than five hundred head of cattle and much other booty, which was all sold later at Vicenza and divided amongst the victors.
When the gondola had entered the long canal of Marghera, I asked the clergyman whether he had a carriage to go to Treviso, through which place he had to pass to reach P . "I intended to walk," said the worthy man, "for my parish is poor and I am the same, but I will try to obtain a place for Christine in some carriage travelling that way."
This was Giorgio, who was born at Castelfranco in the territory of Treviso, in the year 1478, when the Doge was Giovanni Mozzenigo, brother of Doge Piero.
"I heard that she was apparently very ill when she reached Treviso, but that she had rallied under Alice's nursing. Lady Alice wrote to my mother." "Did she tell Lady Tranmore anything of Lady Kitty's state of mind?" said the Dean, after a pause. Ashe also was slow in answering. At last he said: "I understand there has been great regret for the past." "Regret!" cried the Dean.
Historians, when he was at the height of his power, ransacked musty archives assiduously to find out and prove that he had royal blood in him. They professed to have discovered that he was connected with the princely family of Treviso, and the comical way in which he contemptuously brushed aside this fulsome flattery must have lacerated the pride of courtiers who sought favours by such methods.
Of the Ducs de Treviso, de Conegliano, Serurier, and Perignan I had no doubt, as I saw them again several times, but I am not sure that I should know the others except from a recollection of their pictures. I will describe a few while their countenances are fresh upon my memory. Ney is a fine, handsome man, but remarkably fair with light curling hair, and struck us very like Mrs. Parker, of Astle.
But as soon as I heard she was at Treviso, I wrote again or, rather, this time my lawyers wrote, suggesting that the time had come for the extra provision I had spoken of, which I was most ready and anxious to make." He paused. "And this," said the Dean, "is all? This is, in fact, your answer to me?" Ashe made a sign of assent.
Putting aside for the moment the beautiful and profoundly moving representations of the subject due to the Florentines and the Sienese both sculptors and painters south of the Alps, and to the Netherlanders north of them, during the whole of the fifteenth century, the essential triviality of the conception in the Treviso picture makes such a work as Lorenzo Lotto's pathetic Annunciation at Recanati, for all its excess of agitation, appear dignified by comparison.
The host had his laugh over the affair, and then brought them to one Sandro Agolanti, who dwelt in Treviso and had great interest with the Lord of the place. The host laid the whole matter before Sandro, and, backed by Marchese and Stecchi, besought him to undertake Martellino's cause. Sandro, after many a hearty laugh, hied him to the Lord, who at his instance sent for Martellino.
