"LEO. Right; she will no more let young People sin, than the Devil will let 'em be sav'd, out of envy to their happiness. "Vio. Who is she? "LEO. One of my own blood, an Aunt. "Vio. I know her. She of thy blood? She has not a drop of it these twenty years; the Devil of envy sucked it all out, and let verjuice in the roome."
There is a canal below, crowded with gondolas, and across its bridge the good folk of San Vio come and go the whole day long men in blue shirts with enormous hats, and jackets slung on their left shoulder; women in kerchiefs of orange and crimson. Bare-legged boys sit upon the parapet, dangling their feet above the rising tide. A hawker passes, balancing a basket full of live and crawling crabs.
"Very well; but, Vio, you will promise me that you will not try to " Mrs. Mencke began, anxiously, for she could not rid herself of the fear that Violet would try to meet her lover clandestinely.

The affair was brought before the Master-General, at that time Vio di Cajetan; and the complaint appearing just, he called on her either to lay it aside, or to explain the authority by which she wore it.

He is to start a week from Wednesday, and we can easily be ready to accompany him by that time. What do you say, Vio?" Violet thought a moment, then meeting her sister's eye with a steady glance, she briefly replied: "I do not wish to go." Mrs. Mencke flushed. She did not like that quiet tone.

The water itself was almost choked with gondolas. Evidently the folk of San Vio thought our wedding procession would be a most exciting pageant.
