Are you satisfied now ?" Mary silently embraced her father, and her eyes expressed such gratitude that Mr.Van de Werve was deeply moved, and said, tenderly: "Who could refuse you anything?
Age, experience, prudence, all yield before one glance of your eye.

Conceal your emotion; I hear some one coming." A servant opened the door, and announced, "The Signor Geronimo." The young nobleman thus introduced was remarkable for his fine form, and the graceful elegance of his manners and carriage.

His complexion was of that light and clear brown which adds so much to the manly beauty of some Southern nations.

The dark beard and hair, his spirited black eyes, gave a singular charm to his countenance, while his calm and sweet smile indicated goodness of heart.
Although upon his entrance he strove to appear cheerful, Mary's eye detected a concealed sadness.
The dress of Geronimo was simple in comparison with the rich attire of the other Italian nobles, his compatriots.

He wore a felt hat ornamented with a long plume, a Spanish cloak, a cloth doublet lined with fur, violet satin breeches, and gray boots.
