Ten minutes afterwards the Baron entered his apartment, and Pepino stationed himself on the bench outside the door of the hotel, after having whispered something in the ear of one of the descendants of Marius and the Gracchi, whom we noticed at the beginning of the chapter, who immediately ran down the road leading to the capital at his fullest speed.
Danglars was tired and sleepy.
He therefore went to bed, placing his pocket-book under his pillow.
Papino had a little spare time, so he had a game of more with the facini, lost three crowns, and then to console himself drank a bottle of Orvieto.
The next morning Danglers awoke late, though he went to bed so early.
He had not slept well for five or six nights, even if he had slept at all.
He breakfasted heartily, and carrying little, as he said, for the beauties of the eternal city, ordered post-horses at noon."
BUT DANGLERS HAD NOT RECKONED UPON THE FORMALITIES OF THE POLICE AND THE IDLENESS OF THE POSTING-MASTER.
THE HORSES ONLY ARRIVED AT TWO O'CLOCK, AND THE CICERONE DID NOT BRING THE PASSPORT TILL THREE.
ALL THESE PREPARATIONS HAD COLLECTED A NUMBER OF IDLERS ROUND THE DOOR OF SENOR PASTRINI'S.
THE DESCENDANTS OF MARIS AND THE GRAZI WERE ALSO NOT WANTING.
THE BARON WALKED TRIUMPHANTLY THROUGH THE CROWD, WHO FOR THE SAKE OF GAIN STYLED HIM, YOUR EXCELLENCY.
As Danglars had hitherto contented himself with being called a baron, he felt rather flattered at the title of excellency, and distributed a dozen silver coins among the beggars, who were ready, for twelve more, to call him your highness.
"'Which road?'
asked the postilion in Italian.
"'The Ancana road,' replied the baron."
Signora Pastrini interpreted the question and answer, and the horses galloped off.
Danglish intended traveling to Venice, where he would receive one part of his fortune, and then proceeding to Vienna, where he would find the rest, he meant to take up his residence in the latter town, which he had been told was a city of pleasure.
He had scarcely advanced three leagues out of Rome when daylight began to disappear,
Danglars had not intended starting so late, or he would have remained.
