at length, however, morano submitted to reason, and consented, that cesario should first prepare some cottage to receive him.emily, now that he had recovered his senses, was about to withdraw from the corridor, when a message from montoni commanded her to do so, and also that the count, if he was not already gone, should quit the castle immediately.indignation flashed from morano's eyes, and flushed his cheeks.
'tell montoni,' said he, 'that i shall go when it suits my own convenience; that i quit the castle, he dares to call his, as i would the nest of a serpent, and that this is not the last he shall hear from me.tell him, i will not leave another murder on his conscience, if i can help it.'
'count morano! do you know what you say?' said cavigni.
'yes, signor, i know well what i say, and he will understand well what i mean.his conscience will assist his understanding, on this occasion.'
'count morano,' said verezzi, who had hitherto silently observed him, 'dare again to insult my friend, and i will plunge this sword in your body.'
'it would be an action worthy the friend of a villain!' said morano, as the strong impulse of his indignation enabled him to raise himself from the arms of his servants; but the energy was momentary, and he sunk back, exhausted by the effort.montoni's people, meanwhile, held verezzi, who seemed inclined, even in this instant, to execute his threat; and cavigni, who was not so depraved as to abet the cowardly malignity of verezzi, endeavoured to withdraw him from the corridor; and emily, whom a compassionate interest had thus long detained, was now quitting it in new terror, when the supplicating voice of morano arrested her, and, by a feeble gesture, he beckoned her to draw nearer.she advanced with timid steps, but the fainting languor of his countenance again awakened her pity, and overcame her terror.
