Marcoline, who had been pining by herself all day, breathed again when I told her that henceforth I should be all for her. In the morning M. Bono came to me and begged me to go with him to Possano's counsel, who wanted to speak to me. The advocate said that his client was a sort of madman who was ready to do anything, as he believed himself to be dying from the effects of a slow poison.
It was one of the occupations with which she solaced her loneliness, and she was never more happy than when she had an exciting story to set down, for she could set it down with the ease of a Walpole and an individual touch that was all her own: "I was quietly reading in my closet, when I was interrupted by the chambermaid of the Signora Laura Bono, who flung herself at my feet, and, in an agony of sobs and tears, begged me, for the love of the holy Madonna, to hasten to her master's house, where the two brothers would certainly murder one another, if my presence did not stop their fury.
Cui bono? this, the cry of most men in periods of great outward prosperity, was the popular inquiry.
The day after, M. Bono came to see me at an early hour with a smile of content on his face. "Let us go and breakfast at a coffee-house," said he; "we will have some discussion together."
It would not be true to assert that, on this wonderful June day, a glimmering of this truth dawned upon him. Such a statement would be open to the charge of exaggeration, and his frame of mind was pessimistic. But he had got so far as to ask himself the question, Cui bono? and repeated it several times on his drive, until a verse of Scripture came, unbidden, to his lips.
Dick, who relished it very much, nodding his head and stroking his stomach, exclaimed "Bono, bono, very good, master savages." The fish certainly was very good; and as our captors ate it, we had no doubt that it was wholesome. Dick said he felt much the better for it, and could now look things in the face with less despondency than before.
Woman's work is quite as dignified as man's, and why should it not be arranged as carefully and systematically? If some thing must be crowded out, let it be, with forethought and reason, set to one side, not shoved or huddled amid mess and confusion. Thus I translate the Latin cui bono.
Johnson, notwithstanding his classical predilections, was likely to take much interest in Ariosto on account of his universality and the heartiness of his passions. He had a secret regard for "wildness" of all sorts, provided it came within any pale of the sympathetic. He was also fond of romances of chivalry. Poet." and has the bee-hive on the reverse, with the motto "Pro bono malum."
Until the best judges of Italian style are agreed that the 'Chronicle' could not have been written in the second decade of the fourteenth century, the arguments adduced from an examination of the facts recorded in it are not strong enough to demonstrate a forgery. There is the further question of cui bono? which in all problems of literary forgery must first receive some probable solution.
She stood at the window somewhat shy and embarrassed while I greeted my mother, but I saw her eyes shining with kindly satisfaction that she had been allowed to witness this scene. My mother told me that this was Lucia del Bono, her faithful friend and adopted daughter.
