’palazzo geraci and palazzo corvaja 289
He was confused, but his dark eyes sparkled with
joy and spoke more than words. " Perhaps,
according to old custom, it ought to be so, but I do not care
about it. There, come now ! It would be a pity on
such a woman as you, Marcia."
He laid his arms around Marcia’s waist, and went
towards his home up in Palazzo Corvaja’s ruins. It
was, as when one of the ancient barons marched in
there. The people of Corvaja stood on both sides
of his way and bowed to him and Marcia.

bent low before her and kissed the image, which had
been returned to her. But Donna Micaela kissed
Marcia. " Pray for me in your happiness, sister
Marcia ! " she said.
