As for the specialties of her face and person, continued the impresario,

Per Bacco, Signor Ercole, a Phoenix indeed! A Diva davvero!

Eccellenza, she'll do, said the little man nodding his head with its top-heavy forehead three or four times emphatically.

If she do not make such a sensation in Ravenna as we have not known here for a long time, say that Ercole Stadione knows nothing of his profession.

Bravo! bravo! cried the Marchese, gleefully rubbing his hands.

And now, my good friend, I won't keep you from the bed and the rest you so well deserve any longer. You may depend on it that your zeal in this matter won't be overlooked or forgotten.

Yes, speak on, my dear Signor Ercole, I am all attention. What is it? No drawback I hope!

Only this, Signor Marchese, said the little man casting a glance round the room, dropping his voice still more, and bringing his head nearer to the ear of the Marchese;
human
Quite so; quite so. Your ideas on the subject are happily judicious, Signor Ercole. What have we to do with misunderstandings that may have arisen at Milan? Of course, it is not our business to have ever heard anything of the kind. And I'll tell you what I'll do, and that at once, before there is time for any mischief to be done. I will just give my nephew a hint. He can be trusted. He is discreet. And it will be easy for him to put down at once and discountenance any talk of the kind, or any rumour that might find its way among our youngsters.

I should think not, indeed! And, doubtless, Milan would have been but too glad to retain La Lalli, had it not been for some unimportant contretemps. Ludovico shall put the matter in its right light.
