    her faculties as if commanding them to the ceremonious duties on which she was shortly to enter ; a collectedness of thoughts to one fixed purpose—as if she had suddenly become sensible that she was mistress , or the worshipped queen of the festivities ; still she was silent , pale , and smileless .

    The pouring in of the different streams of holiday guests and gazers , from every point , down to the Marina at Pola , and the tramping of caparisoned steeds , some of which were led by the attendants , fore * - spoke the entrance of Count Jeldaz ' s magnificent galley into the port ;; and now the pealing * cannon , uprising above the shouts of the multitude , undulated into Melaza ' s ears the intelligence that hi * foot had kissed the shore . Count Jeldaz and his retinue mounted the

    waiting steeds , and the whole formed into a long line of procession , through the street which led eastward from the city . A gallant gentleman he looked , in all the consciousness of admiration and brilliance of hope awaiting bliss . As they passed along near that house , which is now tenantless and in ruins , as you turn to the left , in the direction of the amphitheatre , the crowd paused , numbers took off their hats and set up a shout of ' Viva ! ' Count Jeldaz , turning ,

    looked upwards , and lifting his plumed capello , bowed to a youth who stood in the balcony , as to him the people ' s respectful tokens of gratulation were offered . The youth uncovered , seemingly unconscious that he did so , for he did not return the salutation of Count Jeldaz , but waved his hand to the people . * Who is that ? ' he inquired . * The Lady Melaza ' s brother / * Her brother ! ' * It is the young Count Lucio , ' said one who held the bridle rein of the

    horse on which Count Jeldaz rode , ' Ha ! her foster brother , you mean ; he seems a feeble and sickly youth , and not overborne with joy at seeing me , his new brother . ' There was a sneer implied in his manner of speaking these words , which caused the same person ( ' it was myself , ' said the old man , ) to reply , ' the Signior Lucio Oschiaro is the best of ail the many good that had been named Qschiaro /—and all around echoed the shout of * Viva , viva Signior Lucio ! ' * He

    shows cold courtesy to one who might reasonably expect a warmer from the brother of my of the Lady Melaza . Perhaps he is unwilling- to lose his sister ' s society / * It may be your Lordship judges rightly , ' said a restless-eyed gentleman , the Signior Goznia , who rode by the side of the Count , I have knpwn such friendships , and they would not laugh a ben venuto to a third participator / * This boy is garlanded with the praises and good will of these about us .

    How much further and singly closer the sympathy prevails , perhaps I may learn—in time ; ' and the Count here became silent , or uttered occasionally a courteous remark to those near him , till , having passed the avenues through that division of the grounds and gardens which led to the portico of the chateau , he paused , and descended from his steed . The steps were occupied by ranges of courtly guests , in rows of smiling

    faces , nodding plurnes , and sumptuous robes ; and the instant his foot had left the stirrup , the acclamation of voices , and a peal of music , rent the air . He ascended the steps , bowing" gracefully on eitheY side , and at the entrance to the atria was received in the arrns of Count Ogojiiaro , who led him on through the . vestibule , and between another double line of animated beauty and human splendour on tow&rd ? the 2 Y 2
