Presently, the morning drawing near, Ruggieri, who had slept a great while, having by this time digested the sleeping draught and exhausted its effects, awoke and albeit his sleep was broken and his senses in some measure restored, there abode yet a dizziness in his brain, which held him stupefied, not that night only, but some days after.
Quoth she, 'Madam, teach me how, and I will gladly do anything. Whereupon the lady, whose wits were sharpened by the urgency of the case, having promptly bethought herself of that which was to do, particularly acquainted the maid therewith, who first betook herself to the physician and weeping, began to say to him, 'Sir, it behoveth me ask you pardon of a great fault, which I have committed against you. 'In what? asked the doctor, and she, never giving over weeping, answered, 'Sir, you know what manner young man is Ruggieri da Jeroli.
This came to the ears of Ruggieri, who called the Ghibellines to arms, and at last succeeded in capturing Ugolino and his family, after days of fighting. Well had Marco Lombardo, that "wise and valiant man of affairs," told him, "The wrath of God is the only thing lacking to you."
He must have heard from the Ruggieri the various incidents of the Saint-Bartholomew and of the reigns of the Valois kings, which he afterwards recounted in the first person singular, as though he had played a part in them. The Comte de Saint-Germain was the last of the alchemists who knew how to clearly explain their science; but he left no writings.
We seemed rather a comfortable party round the fire. "Ruggieri," said I, "do you know that scar?" "I have certainly seen it before," replied he, with the utmost composure.
"Sire," said the Comte de Solern, "the fatigues of tennis and hunting, your toil at this forge, and if I may say it love, are chariots which the devil is offering you to get the faster to Saint-Denis." "Solern," said the king, in a piteous tone, "if you knew the fire they have put into my soul and body! nothing can quench it. Are you sure of the men who are guarding the Ruggieri?"
Indeed, I am exceeding grieved to have done it, not so much for the thing itself as for that which hath ensued of it and by reason whereof Ruggieri is like to lose his life.
"And well gone," said the woman, as she heard the door slammed with a noise that shook the crazy tenement. "Oh! I am so happy you have come to relieve me of an engagement which I was ashamed of, and which would have yielded me nothing; for their object was to force money out of your friend, and then divide it between them." "How did Rogers or Ruggieri find you out?" inquired I.
"When I am dead what will become of madame?" asked the king, motioning to Marie Touchet. "Madame de Belleville will marry, sire." "You are imposters!" cried Marie Touchet. "Send them away, sire." "Dearest, the Ruggieri have my word as a gentleman," replied the king, smiling. "Will madame have children?" he continued. "Yes, sire; and madame will live to be more than eighty years old."
Certain remarkable antecedents warranted the power which Cosmo Ruggiero retained over his mistress to her last hour. One of the most learned men of the sixteenth century was physician to Lorenzo de' Medici, Duc d'Urbino, Catherine's father. In France it was the custom to pronounce the name in general as Ruggieri.
