"God be praised!" Francis replied. "Now, up with the Lion!" The flag was bent to the halyards and Francis hoisted it. As it rose above the bulwark, Pisani, who was standing on a hillock of sand, shouted out at the top of his voice: "It is Zeno's fleet!" A shout of joy broke from the troops. Cheer after cheer rent the air, from ship and shore, and then the wildest excitement reigned.
But certainly he looked as lean and famished as a wolf, when I paid that visit to the camp the day before Zeno's arrival.

Then he had promised to hide her securely, either on Zeno's estate or else in the house of another friend, which was difficult of access.
On the morning of the birthday Frau Rosalie dismissed the housekeeper, whom she kept at a distance, and herself admitted the notary when she saw him approach The Three Kings, which by her wish had been richly decorated with stucco and gilding, and furnished with stable room for Zeno's horse and her two ponies.
