Her heart beat fast as she ascended the narrow stone steps of Del Ferice's lodging, and stopped upon the landing before the small green door, whereon she read his name. She pulled the bell, and Temistocle appeared in his shirt-sleeves. "Does Count Del Ferice live here?" asked Donna Tullia, peering over the man's shoulder into the dark and narrow passage within.
An assembly of the people being quickly called, it was voted that the Tarquins should be banished, and the office of king should be forever abolished in Rome. Tullia, learning of the cause of the tumult, hastily left the palace, and fled from Rome in her chariot through throngs that followed her with threats and curses.
I am Tullia, born at Rome, about eighteen hundred years ago; I make the Roman obeisance, not the French, and have come, I scarce know from whence, to see your country, yourself, and your toilette. Mad. de. P. Ah, madam, do me the honour of seating yourself. An arm-chair for the Lady Tullia. Tullia.
With such words did Tullia daily stir up her husband; thinking shame to herself, if so be Tanaquil, who was a foreigner, had been able to make two kings, first her husband and then her son-in-law, she, being the daughter of a king, could not accomplish as much.
He had had no difficulty in being at liberty at the hour of the sitting, and had merely exchanged his jacket for an old painting-coat, not taking the trouble to divest himself of the remainder of his uniform. "Where have you been all this time?" asked Donna Tullia, as she lifted the curtain and entered the studio. He had kept out of her way during the past few days.
Like father, like son. A very good fellow and a philosopher, was little Daddy Cardot excuse me, we always called him so. At that time, Florine, Florentine, Tullia, Coralie, and Mariette were the five fingers of your hand, so to speak it is fifteen years ago. My follies, as you may suppose, are a thing of the past.
He declares himself to be inconsolable; but he does take consolation from two matters from his books on philosophy, and from an idea which occurs to him that he will perpetuate the name of Tullia forever by the erection of a monument that shall be as nearly immortal as stones and bricks can make it.
"I have heard it said that one should fear the man of one book," observed Maria Consuelo, looking at him. "For my part, I am more inclined to fear the woman of many." "Do you read much, my dear Consuelo?" asked Donna Tullia, laughing. "Perpetually." "And is Don Orsino afraid of you?" "Mortally," answered Orsino. "Madame d'Aranjuez knows everything." "Is she blue, then?" asked Donna Tullia.
Tell me that, of your own free will, you will be my wife, arid command me anything, that I may prove my devotion. It is so true, so honest, Tullia, I adore you, I live only for you! Speak the word, and make me the happiest of men!" He really looked handsome as he knelt before her, and she felt the light, nervous pressure of his hand at every word he spoke. After all, what did it matter?
This is the first time I have been out, and I am glad to find an opportunity of speaking to you. Let me say again how profoundly I regret my forgetfulness at the ball the other night " Donna Tullia was a clever woman, and though she had been very angry at the time, she was in love with Giovanni.
