He recognised Anna, and at once addressed her. Her father, Bartolomeo, was a well-respected member
of the Arte di Calimala: the Wool Makers Guild in
Mantua. Do you want me, too?”
“Yes,” she whispered foolishly, in the throes of

metropolis—with its scattered farm-houses, its noble granges, and its old grey
church-tower just peeping above a grove of rook-haunted trees. She thought of her costume in some detail and with considerable satisfaction,
and particularly of a very jolly property dagger with large glass jewels in the
handle, that reposed in a drawer in her room.
