![]() How very remarkable indeed.Īll this his mind gave me rather easily without the young man realizing it, obviously, and then using the Mind Gift I sent a very direct message to him. Scholars? What sort of scholars? And the other words. What could this mean? What could this be? I resolved to ignore this, to see what came of it, not to allow it to impede me in the slightest as I enjoyed my life. And on the night that I had first opened rny house to the citizens of Venice, he had come. And he had been watching me for several years He had in fact glimpsed me in grand salons and ballrooms, so I might indeed write this off to my carelessness. Indeed, he had some name for me: vampire. I had Amadeo with whom to share my golden tomb.Īt this point, meaning to confront him and terrify him, I came to the very edge of the roof garden and peered across the canal at him, and there I made out his stealthy shape, and how he meant to cloak himself, and how fearful yet fascinated he was. I had Bianca when I wanted to ramble on about the work of Bellini or my beloved Botticelli. It struck me with full force that there had been moments in my long life when I would have found his message irresistible, so great had been my loneliness, so great had been my longing to be understood.īut now, with all of Venice receiving me into its finest company, I did not feel such a thing. On the contrary, he was a most strange sort of being, a scholar of the supernatural, a spy upon creatures such as me. He was no great Venetian, no painter, no cleric, no poet, no alchemist, and certainly no member of the Grand Council of Venice. I knew it die moment I penetrated his mind. ![]() He did not even look up as the boat took him away.īut this young mortal had nothing to do with the grand society in which I moved. ![]() He was a tall man, lean and fair of skin, an Englishman, and he was dressed in severe clothes of black. I had caught a good look at him as he stepped into the boat. With little difficulty I heard him make his way down the staircases through the palazzo and then I saw him come out into the canal arid hail a gondola which took him away. Just when I thought I had fooled an entire city, I was to be caught for what I was.Ĭan see with the greatest clarity, those years when you can give your trust most truly to others, and seek to bring about a perfect happiness for yourself. And naturally I was tempted to immediately conclude that my life in Venice had failed. Looking for a way to supplement your time at pumpkin patches and football tailgates this autumn?
