"To the Palace," he commanded, and as his men surrounded Francesco's party, "Come, sir," he said to the Count.

"You must go with us, and tell your story to the Duke." "There is no need for all this force," answered Francesco coldly.
"In any case, I could not pass through Urbino without seeing Duke Guidobaldo.

I am the Count of Aquila." At once the captain's bearing grew respectful.

He made his apologies for the violent measures of his zeal, and bade his men fall behind.

Ordering them to follow him, he mounted a horse that was brought him, and rode briskly through the borgo at the Count's side.
