He is always in attendance upon Donna Tullia, and probably led her into this band of foolish young people for objects of his own. It is a very silly society; I daresay you have heard some of their talk?" "Very little," replied Giovanni; "I do not trouble myself about politics. I did not even know that there was such a club as your Eminence speaks of."
He had in view for her a certain Serene Highness whom he wished to conciliate, and whose circumstances were not so splendid as to make Corona's fortune seem insignificant to him. But on the other hand, the Cardinal had no Serene Highness ready for Giovanni, and feared lest he should after all marry Donna Tullia, and get into the opposite camp.
Old Saracinesca stared from one to the other. "What is this comedy?" he asked of Corona. But she nodded to him to be silent. "Then you doubtless remember Felice Baldi poor Felice Baldi," continued Donna Tullia, still gazing scornfully up at Giovanni from where she sat. "I never heard the name, that I can remember," answered Giovanni, as though trying to recall some memory of the past.
From 1820 to 1823, Florentine had the experience of every danseuse of nineteen to twenty years of age. Her friends were the illustrious Mariette and Tullia, leading ladies of the Opera, Florine, and also poor Coralie, torn too early from the arts, and love, and Camusot.
"I beg your pardon you are the Countess Del Ferice I have not been back from England long, and have not had an opportunity of being presented." Whatever might be Orsino's weaknesses, shyness was certainly not one of them, and as he made the civil answer he calmly looked at Donna Tullia as though to inquire what in the world she wished to accomplish in making his acquaintance.
Not only had he grown utterly indifferent to her; he openly avoided her, and thereby inflicted upon her vanity the cruellest wound she was capable of feeling. With Donna Tullia to hate was to injure, to long for revenge not of the kind which is enjoyed in secret, and known only to the person who suffers and the person who causes the suffering.
In the first place, she would send for him and vent her anger upon him while it was hot. Accordingly, in the space of three-quarters of an hour, Ugo appeared, smiling, smooth and persuasive as usual. Donna Tullia assumed a fine attitude of disdain as she heard his step outside the door. She intended to impress him with a full and sudden view of her just anger.
No; I never liked him," replied Donna Tullia, quickly. "Oh, I thought you did; I used to wonder at it." Ugo grew thoughtful. "I was always good to him," said Donna Tullia. "But of course I can never forgive him for what he did at the Frangipani ball." "No; nor I," answered Del Ferice, readily. "I shall always hate him for that too." "I do not say that I exactly hate him." "You have every reason.
Orsino's face grew grave as he left his card of condolence and turned away. He could hardly have named a person more indifferent to him than poor Donna Tullia, but he could not help feeling an odd regret at the thought that she was gone at last with all her noisy vanity, her restless meddlesomeness and her perpetual chatter.
We are very regular people," she explained, with a slight smile, "and we are not prepared to go to-day. Many thanks; I wish we could accept your kind invitation." "Well, I am sorry you will not come," said Donna Tullia, with a rather hard laugh. "We mean to enjoy ourselves immensely." Giovanni said nothing.
