Read the full text in our reader

Peri conhecia o caráter do moço; e sabia que depois de ter dado a vida a Loredano, embora o desprezasse, não consentiria que em presença dele lhe tocasse num cabelo; e se preciso fosse tiraria a sua espada para defender este homem, que acabava de tentar contra sua existência.

The setting

Peri knew the young man's character; and knew that, having spared Loredano's life, though he despised him, he would not allow a hair of his to be touched in his presence; and if need be he would draw his sword to defend this man who had just attempted his life.
