Sayfa 790 / 1118

We must now return to Donna Prassede, who came, according to

agreement, on the following morning, for Lucy, and also to pay

her duty to the cardinal. Frederick bestowed many praises on

Lucy, and recommended her warmly to the kindness of Donna

Prassede; Lucy separated herself from her mother with many tears,

and again bade farewell to her cottage and her village. But she

was cheered by the hope of seeing her mother once more before

their final departure, as Donna Prassede informed them that it

was her intention to remain for a few days at her villa, and

Agnes promised to visit it again to take a last farewell.
