 Every reflection which Manfred made on the Friar’s behaviour, conspired1 to persuade him that Jerome was privy2 to an amour between Isabella and Theodore.  But Jerome’s new presumption3, so dissonant4 from his former meekness5, suggested still deeper apprehensions6.  The Prince even suspected that the Friar depended on some secret support from Frederic, whose arrival, coinciding with the novel appearance of Theodore, seemed to bespeak7 a correspondence.  Still more was he troubled with the resemblance of Theodore to Alfonso’s portrait.  The latter he knew had unquestionably died without issue.  Frederic had consented to bestow8 Isabella on him.  These contradictions agitated9 his mind with numberless pangs10.
 
He saw but two methods of extricating11 himself from his difficulties.  The one was to resign his dominions12 to the Marquis—pride, ambition, and his reliance on ancient prophecies, which had pointed13 out a possibility of his preserving them to his posterity
