She softened her tone and
scrambled for the right words. She came to
adore them. Whenever ecstasy—
any kind of ecstasy—filled her heart to bursting, these physical expressions
eased the pressure. To prevent the recurrence of any such escape as that just described, it was
deemed expedient, in more recent times, to keep a watchman at the top of
Newgate. On the same day, moreover, which, by a
curious coincidence, was the birthday of the Chevalier de Saint George, mobs
were collected together in the streets, and the health of that prince was publicly
drunk under the title of James the Third; while, in many country towns, the bells
were rung, and rejoicings held, as if for a reigning monarch:—the cry of the
populace almost universally being, "No King George, but a Stuart!"
The adherents of the Chevalier de Saint George, we have said, were lavish in
promises to their proselytes. Her mother tried to
soothe her with tales of romance and love, of all the
fineries that she would enjoy in the Palazzo, but all Lucia
could do was cry until her cheeks twitched and her
forehead ached.
