But to give, as they said, a blow to the hoop
and another to the cask, and increase the
efficacy OF their caresses by little awe, they
took measures to seize some of the seditious,
and this was the principal duty of the Capitano
d Giustisid. His blood-hounds had been in the
field since the commencement of the tumult
and this self-styled Ambrose Fusella was q
police officer In Disguise, who, having listened
to the famous sermon of Reuzo, concluded him

newly arrived from his village. he would have
conducted him immediately to prison, as tb Q

seen, he did not suoceed. He could, however,
carry to the police certain information Of his
ooojectures; so that when the host arrived to
tell what he knew of Renzo, their knowledge

ciamorous and complaining"
How would your honor expect me to pay
attention to the absurdities uttered by parcel
for I am poor man. And then your honor
knows, that those who are lavish of their
tongue, are often lavish of their tsts especially
when there are many together"
Yes, yes, they may have their way now !;

On the following morning Renzo was still in
sound and deep sleep, when he was suddenly
reused by shaking of the arms, and by a voice
at the foot of the bed, crying, Lorenzo
