And now rushed the unfortunate wildly through the streets of Venice. He railed at fortune; he laughed and cursed by turns; yet sometimes he suddenly stood still, seemed as pondering on some great and wondrous enterprise, and then again rushed onwards, as if hastening to its execution.

Fabulous,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Bravo of Venice; a romance (Kindle Edition)
A desperate and delicious romance from beginning to end! The hero is heroic and the villain duly wicked, the lady is fine and dainty and all the cast is thrown into a marvelous turmoil only to be confoundingly set to rights in the end. The more I read these old romance novels the more annoyed I am that I keep seeing horrid movies based on lousy books. Why not make a movie out of this little gem? Or the Monk? Are they not properly horrible and exciting?
A joy to read, especially if you're of a more romantic sensibility.
