Europe was amazed when the preliminaries of peace were signed, for it was generally expected that Austria would be brought to submission. Italy was in despair, for Venetia had not yet been won for them. Cavour raged with fury, regretting that he had trusted Napoleon and trusted his King, Victor Emmanuel, who agreed to the proposals for an armistice.
Can I not express, can you not discover how much, how ardently, how fondly, how devotedly, I, I, I love you? 'I am sure we always loved each other, Plantagenet. 'Yes! but not with this love; not as I love you now! Venetia stared. 'I thought we could not love each other more than we did, Plantagenet, at length she said. 'Do you remember the jewel that you gave me?
Victor is only a bas-officier; if his officers call him up, he must come, or be thrashed like a slave for contumacy. He has no will of his own." Venetia gave an irrepressible gesture of pain. "True; I forgot. Well, go and send him to me. My brother must be taken into his confidence, whatever that confidence reveals. I will tell him so. Go and send him to me; it is the last chance."
Cadurcis rose from his seat, but his chair, which still remained close to that on which Venetia was sitting, did not escape the quick glance of her mortified mother. The Countess welcomed Cadurcis with extreme cordiality; Lady Annabel only returned his very courteous bow. 'Stop and dine with us, my dear lord, said the Countess. 'We are only ourselves, and Lady Annabel and Venetia.
'I must claim an uncle's privilege, he said, in a tone of sweetness and some emotion, as he pressed with his own the beautiful lips of Venetia. 'I ought to be proud of my niece. Why, Annabel! if only for the honour of our family, you should not have kept this jewel so long enshrined in the casket of Cherbury.
'I thank you, Clara, said Lady Annabel, 'but we cannot stop to-day. 'Oh! exclaimed her sister. 'It will be such a disappointment to Philip. Indeed you must stay, she added, in a coaxing tone; 'we shall be such an agreeable little party, with Lord Cadurcis. 'I cannot indeed, my dear Clara, replied Lady Annabel; 'not to-day, indeed not to-day. Come Venetia!
It was an union which would join broad lands and fair estates; which would place on the brow of her daughter one of the most ancient coronets in England; and, which indeed was the chief of these considerations, would, without exposing Venetia to that contaminating contact with the world from which Lady Annabel recoiled, establish her, without this initiatory and sorrowful experience, in a position superior to which even the blood of the Herberts, though it might flow in so fair and gifted a form as that of Venetia, need not aspire.
Then new German troops were brought forward to make a deadly attack upon the Italian army. So thoroughly had the Germans played their game that the Italians lost more than 250,000 prisoners and 2300 guns before they realized how they had been duped. Lombardy and Venetia. Provinces in northern Italy, which are noted for their beautiful scenery and places of interest to tourists. Tagliamento.
There was also the constant danger from Italy, for Austria knew that, even if there were no alliance, as soon as she was attacked on one side by Prussia, the Italians on the other side would invade Venetia.
At least the offer of Austrian citizenship had no perceptible effect in overcoming the exclusiveness of Hungarian nationality; nor in inducing Venetia to become a willing member of a Teutonic Federation, and to lend the same assistance to the House of Hapsburg, as Gaul and Spain did to the Cæsars, in suppressing insurrection on the banks of the Danube.
