This  cleverly-worded  enigma  won  the
praise  of  all  the  company,  but  since  it
seemed  to  be  beyond  the  power  of  any-
one to  solve  it,  Lionora  was  requested
to  divulge  its  meaning  ;  whereupon  she

Everyone  was  pleased  with  the  inter-
pretation of  this  clever  enigma  and  com-
mended it  highly.  The  Signora  having
already  remarked  that  Lodovica,  who
was  chosen  to  tcll  the  next  story,  was
troubled  with  a  bad  headache,  turned
to  the  Trcvisan  and  said,  "  Signor  Bene-

THE  FOURTH  FABLE.


**resignation_to_god **
We must conform ourselves to the will of God, not only in
things contrary to us which come directly from God, such as
loss of health, desolation of spirìt, loss of relatives or posses-
sions ; but even in those ills which come from Him indirectly,
such as slanders, slights, injustices, and ali other kinds of per-
secution. And we should remember, that when we are injured
by any one, in our goods or our honour, that God does not will

the sin of him who injures us, but that He rightly wills our
poverty and our humiliation. It is certain that whatever hap-
pens, does so by the Divme will. " I forni the light, and create
darkness : I make peace, and create eviL" (Isa. xlv. 7.) The
Preacher had said before, " Prosperity and adversity, life and
death, poverty and riches, come of the Lord." (Ecclus. xi. 14.)
In short, ali things come from God, those that are good and
those that are evil.
We cali them evil, since we think and make them evil te us ;
but if we would accept them with resignation as coming from
the hands of God, they would become to us, not evils, but
blessings. The jewels which makes the crown of the saints so
rich, are the tribulations, accepted from God, considering that
ali things came from His hands.


**NAPLES_VICEROY_2023_01 **
This  worthy  man  left  his  shop  for  the  three
days  that  I  spent  in  Naples,  nor  ever  quitted
my  company,  but  showed  me  many  admir¬
able  monuments  of  antiquity  in  the  city  and
its  neighbourhood.  Moreover,  he  took  me
to  pay  my  respects  to  the  Viceroy  of  Naples,
who  had  let  him  know  that  he  should  like
to  see  me.  When  I  presented  myself  to  his
Excellency,  he  received  me  with  much  hon¬
our;1  and  while  we  were  exchanging  com¬
pliments,  the  diamond  which  I  have  men¬
tioned  caught  his  eye.  He  made  me  show  it
him,  and  prayed  me,  if  I  parted  with  it,  to
give  him  the  refusal.  Having  taken  back  the
stone,  I  offered  it  again  to  his  Excellency,
adding  that  the  diamond  and  I  were  at  his
service.  Then  he  said  that  the  diamond
pleased  him  well,  but  that  he  should  be  much
better  pleased  if  I  were  to  stay  with  him;
he  would  make  such  terms  with  me  as  would
cause  me  to  feel  satisfied.  We  spoke  many
words  of  courtesy  on  both  sides;  and  then
coming  to  the  merits  of  the  diamond,  his
Excellency  bade  me  without  hesitation  name
the  price  at  which  I  valued  it.  Accordingly
I  said  that  it  was  worth  exactly  two  hundred
crowns.  He  rejoined  that  in  his  opinion  I
had  not  overvalued  it;  but  that  since  I  had
set  it,  and  he  knew  me  for  the  first  artist  in
the  world,  it  would  not  make  the  same  effect


when  mounted  by  another  hand.  To  this  I
said  that  I  had  not  set  the  stone,  and  that  it
was  not  well  set;  its  brilliancy  was  due  to
its  own  excellence;  and  that  if  I  were  to
mount  it  afresh,  I  could  make  it  show  far
better  than  it  did.  Then  I  put  my  thumb-nail
to  the  angles  of  its  facets,  took  it  from  the
ring,  cleaned  it  up  a  little,  and  handed  it  to
the  Viceroy.  Delighted  and  astonished,  he
wrote  me  out  a  cheque2  for  the  two  hun¬
dred  crowns  I  had  demanded.

You  can  go  back  by  way  of  Torre  Annunziata  in
a  carriage."

"  Some  one  is  coming  for  me,"  she  said.
FAREWELL  LOVE!  45

The  servant  left  the  room,

By-and-by  she  heard  her  name  called  :  "  Anna  !
Anna!"

She  fell  on  her  knees  before  Cesare  Dias,  sobbing:
"Forgive  me,  forgive  me."

He,  with  a  tremor  in  his  voice,  murmured,  "  My
poor  child."

And  at  home,  in  her  own  house,  she  said  to  her
sister:   "Laura,  forgive  me."

"  My  poor  Anna."


Ill


For  three  weeks  Anna  lay  at  the  point  of  death,
prey  to  a  violent  attack  of  scarlet  fever,  alternat-
ing between  delirium  and  stupor,  and  always  moan-
ing in  her  pain  ;  while  Laura,  Stella  Martini,  and  a
Sister  of  Charity  watched  at  her  bedside.
But  she  did  not  die.  The  fever  reached  its
crisis,  and  then,  little  by  little,  day  by  day,  abated.
At  last  her  struggle  with  death  was  finished,  but
Anna  had  lost  in  it  the  best  part  of  her  youth.
Thus  a  valorous  warrior  survives  the  battle  in-
deed, but  returns  to  his  friends  the  phantom  of
himself — an  object  of  pity  to  those  who  saw  him
set  forth,  strong  and  gallant.
When  the  early  Neapolitan  spring  began  to
show  itself,  at  the  end  of  February,  she  was  con-
valescent, but  so  weak  that  she  could  scarcely
support  the  weight  of  her  thick  black  hair.  Stella
Martini  tried  very  patiently  to  comb  it  so  gently
that  Anna  should  not  have  to  move,  braiding  it  in
two  long  plaits  ;  in  this  way  it  would  seem  less
heavy.  From  time  to  time  a  big  tear  would  roll
down  the  invalid's  cheek.

La domanda sull'influenza di Ermengarda nella politica italiana e il suo impatto sulle dinastie locali richiede un'analisi più dettagliata e approfondita che non può essere coperta dai testi forniti.
