We enter the Salle de la Pallas de Velletri, and ranged along its centre find: 436, a fine bust of Alexander the Great; the Venus of Arles, 439, said to be a copy of an early work by Praxiteles; a magnificent Head of Homer, 440; and 441, Apollo, the Lizard-slayer, after a bronze by Praxiteles.
"Excuse me, my dear fellow; your opponent spoke so loudly that we were not obliged to exert ourselves to hear his estimate of you. Anyhow I only heard the conclusion of the affair; you will no doubt take pleasure in relating the commencement to me!" The words, and the tone in which they had been said, wounded Talizac's self-love, and he sharply replied: "If it pleases me, Signor Velletri!"
Louis would lose his position, and though the other young noblemen were no better than the vicomte, they had the advantage that this was not universally known. The marquis and Madeleine had just been having a quarrel, and the marquis, pale and exhausted, lay back in his chair, when Count Fernando de Velletri was announced.
Space does not permit of a fuller description of the remarkable volcanic features of the tract lying along the western slope of the Apennines; but from what has been stated it will be clear that volcanic forces have been in operation at one time on a grand scale in the Roman States and the South of Tuscany, over a tract extending from Mount Annato to Velletri and Segni.
"Bring me some wash water," said the vicomte, without noticing Rolla's sensitiveness, and turning to Velletri, he added: "Montferrand handled me roughly; I look as if I had been torn from the gallows." "As if you won't get there one of these days," growled Rolla; and, lighting a candle, she said aloud, "If the gentlemen wish I will conduct them to the 'Marquise." "Go on; where is she?"
"Well, I must say that you end the Carnival in a worthy way," laughed Velletri. "Bah! I must drown my troubles in champagne," replied the vicomte, shrugging his shoulders. "I tell you, my friends, I had a conversation with my father to-day which made me wild." "Ah, it was about your marriage, no doubt!" said the Italian. "Yes. The marquis wants me to go to the altar in fourteen days.
"I will first speak of the service," replied Velletri, calmly; "it is of such a nature that the one intrusted with it can be thankful, for he will be able to do a great deal of good to His Holiness the Pope and the Catholic world." Fougereuse closed his eyes this outlook was dazzling.
Thus everything went well for the triumphant march of Charles: the gates of towns opened of themselves at his approach, his enemies fled without waiting for his coming, and before he had fought a single battle he had won for himself the surname of Conqueror. The day after at dawn the army started once more, and after marching the whole day, stopped in the evening at Velletri.
"Fernando, I really believe you play the spy upon me!" exclaimed Talizac; "have a care, my patience has its limits." "You are too tragical," replied Velletri, shrugging his shoulders; "instead of pursuing the little one with platonic declarations, you ought to try to break her spirit." "Velletri, you are right," replied Talizac; "yes, I will revenge myself upon Fanfaro and possess this girl.
"I should I ever become an enemy of the fathers? Oh, you do not believe that yourself!" "Our measures are such that it cannot be done very easily, anyhow," replied Velletri, with faint malice; "this is our ultimatum: Either you accept my proposition and hand over the sum named within five days, or one of our emissaries will place certain papers in the hands of the district-attorney!"
