Vittoria

CHAPTER XXI
9/24

It was thought that Vittoria had been seized or interdicted from appearing.

Conspirators--the knights of the plains--meet: Rudolfos, Romualdos, Arnoldos, and others,--so that you know Camilla is not idle.

She comes on in the great scene which closes the opera.
It is the banqueting hall of the castle.

The Pontifical divorce is spread upon the table.

Courtly friends, guards, and a choric bridal company, form a circle.
'I have obtained it,' says Count Orso: 'but at a cost.' Leonardo, wavering eternally, lets us know that it is weighted with a proviso: IF Camilla shall not present herself within a certain term, this being the last day of it.
