III. The usurer's fang, and the debtor's shame, might both have been trodden down under the feet of Italy, had her knights and her workmen remained true to each other. But the brotherhoods of Italy were not of Cain to Abel but of Cain to Cain. Every man's sword was against his fellow.
Louis was sent by his guardians to Cambridge, with acquirements far exceeding the average of young men, and with unlimited command of money. My father was at the same college, and described him again, haughty, quarrelsome, reckless, handsome, aspiring, brave. Does that kind of creature interest you, my dears?" "La!" said Miss Brabazon; "a horrid usurer's son!"
His listener interrupted him here with a few questions, the clear and prompt replies to which enabled Harley to detect Levy's plausible perversion of the facts; and he vaguely guessed the cause of the usurer's falsehood, in the criminal passion which the ill-fated bride had inspired.
God keep you!" The clerk still stood trembling, afraid to take up the note, and unable through emotion to speak a word, even of thanks.

It is a horrible degradation the first blot on a spotless escutcheon." "Again I warn you, my daughter, such pride is unseemly. Summon Enrica at once. Let us hear what she says." The marchesa drew back into the shadow, and was silent.
To this he was impelled by various considerations; among which the certainty of knowing whatever the weak young man knew was decidedly not the least, as the desire of encountering the usurer's niece again, and using his utmost arts to reduce her pride, and revenge himself for her contempt, was uppermost in his thoughts.
