I Meet the Venetian Ambassadors at Lyons, and also Marcoline’s Uncle — I Part from Marcoline and Set Out for Paris — An Amorous1 Journey
Thus freed from the cares which the dreadful slanders2 of Possano had caused me, I gave myself up to the enjoyment3 of my fair Venetian, doing all in my power to increase her happiness, as if I had had a premonition that we should soon be separated from one another.
The day after the supper I gave to Madame Pernon and M. Bono, we went to the theatre together, and in the box opposite to us I saw M. Querini, the procurator, Morosini, M. Memmo, and Count Stratico, a Professor of the University of Padua. I knew all these gentlemen; they had been in London, and were passing through Lyons on their return to Venice.
“Farewell, fair Marcoline!” I said to myself, feeling quite broken- hearted, but I remained calm, and said nothing to her. She did not notice them as she was absorbed in her conversation with M. Bono, and besides, she did not know them by sight. I saw that M. Memmo had seen me and was telling the procurator of my presence, and as I knew the latter very well I felt bound to pay them my respects then and there.
Querini received me very politely for a devotee, as also did Morosini, while Memmo seemed moved; but no doubt he remembered that it was chiefly due to his mother that I had been imprisoned6 eight years ago. I congratulated the gentlemen on their embassy to England, on their return to their native land, and for form’s sake commended myself to their good offices to enable me to return also. M. Morosini, noticing the richness of my dress and my general appearance of prosperity, said that while I had to stay away he had to return, and that he considered me the luckier man.
“Your excellency is well aware,” said I, “that nothing is sweeter than forbidden fruit.”
He smiled, and asked me whither I went and whence I came.
“I come from Rome,” I answered, “where I had some converse7 with the Holy Father, whom I knew before, and I am going through Paris on my way to London.
“Call on me here, if you have time, I have a little commission to give you.”
