ReplyDeleteFamily Love:
ReplyDelete•Lucien’s father had never talked to him properly before he became ill, but they had got on pretty well. They used to do things together like swimming, going to the match and watching tv.
•Lucien thought it had been almost worth being ill, to find this new, different dad, who talked to him and told him stories.
•“Stay close to us Arianna,” warned Tomasso, “We don`t want you going missing in this crush. Hold Angelo`s hand.” She took the hand that Angelo held out to her, brown with the sun and calloused from fishing, and squeezed it affectionately.
•“Where have you been?” Valaria(Arianna`s mother) kept asking. “We were worried sick.”
•But when her parents and brothers said goodbye, the tears gathered obstinately in her eyes.
•He even brought library books into the bedroom and read to him, because Lucien didn`t have the strength to hold a book in his hands.
Good vs Evil
•“Look after it. Don`t show it to anyone else. There are those who would take it from you.”
•“But let that pass. It is your kind of science, which I call magic, that the di Chimici are after.”
•“If they got not only into your world but into your time,” said Rodolfo, “they would bring back all kinds of magic- cures for illnesses, spells to make inanimate objects move, mystical weapons which can kill and maim from long distances away…
•Rodolfo looked at him sadly. “If it is civilisation to kill vast numbers of people at a stroke, then yes, that is what they want.”
•The di Chimici wants to help only the di Chimici. They would steal whatever made them strong, made them live long, made their women have easy childbirth and healthy babies.
•“Because the person coming up the stairs is Rinaldo di Chimici,” he said softly. “And if he ever finds you, he will happily kill you for that book.
•Di Chimici had received information that a boy had been brought from the Scoula Mandoliera to Signor Rodolfo`s laboratory.
Friendship:
•She dragged him back into the shadow of the belltower and started yanking off her boy clothes, unaware of the effect she was creating.
•“Quick, stop gaping like a fish and put on my boy`s clothes, over those weird one of yours. You`ve only got minutes before someone spots you and hauls you up before the Bellezzan Council.”
•“I`ll have to wait another year. And all to save the life of some half- crazed stranger.”
•‘Thanks look, I`m sorry for messing up your plan. As you said, I didn`t know. And thanks for saving me, if that`s what you`ve done.” Said Lucien
•“Quick,” he hissed. “We must get you away before they realize you`ve gone.”
•But Rodolfo was already hurrying him into the passage and grasping the peacock`s head again. “Just follow the passage,” he said to Lucien. “It will bring you to the Duchessa’s palace.

Friendship:
•“The Duchessa was free to look to her left. Rodolfo, elegant in black velvet, smiled at her, and the Duchessa smiled behind her mask”
•“Lucien” said Lucien. “But it seems to be Luciano here. At least that’s what I told the Duchessa.” “Then Luciano it had better be”, said Rodolfo gravely, with just a hint of a smile.
Good vs Evil:
•“Because the person coming up the stairs is Rinaldo di Chimici,” he said softly. “And if he ever finds you, he will happily kill you for that book.”

ReplyDelete1. “Since you disobeyed not just us, Arriana, but the laws of the city, putting yourself in danger and causing us so much worry, we have asked your aunt to have you here for a while… Perhaps you will learn to value your home, which, though it isn’t exciting, it is safe and filled with people who love you.”
2. “Lucien’s father had never talked to him properly before he became ill… They used to do things together… It was when they couldn’t do anything together that dad started really talking to him.”
3. “Tommaso and Angelo are out of their minds. They should be enjoying a good holiday today but do you know what they’re doing? They’re out in their boat getting as close to Bellezza as they dare.”
Friendship
1. “It was so unfair. That boy, Luciano, had thwarted all her plans and coolly stepped in to take her place. She knew with a part of her mind that it had not been his fault, that he hadn’t deliberately set out to catch the Duchessa’s eye… Perhaps he wasn’t so simple after all.”
2. “Tell Silvia I sent you.”
3. “Look I’m sorry for messing up your plan. As you said, I didn’t know. And thanks for saving me, if that’s what you did.”
Good vs. Evil
1. “If it is civilization to kill vast numbers of people at a stroke, then yes, that is what they want.”
2. “The di Chimici want to help only the di Chimici… And the devil could take everyone else.”
3. “If he ever finds you, he will happily kill you for that book.”
Fate
1. “Rodolfo looked at the array for a long time before sweeping up the cards, shuffling them thoroughly and setting them out again… Rodolfo’s hands were shaking. He had dealt the exact same pattern”
2. “Six and ten he threw, eight and eight, seven and nine – wherever he looked the number 16 kept coming up.
3. “Knowing Silvia, she would not tell him what significance his divinations had for her, but at least she could prepare herself for whatever new danger was approaching.”
Family Love:
ReplyDelete1. ““Stay close to us Arianna,” said Tommasso.”
2. ““Throat still hurting?” asked Dad sympathetically.”
3.”And Embraced the runaway roughly, crying and laughing with relief”
Friendship:
1. “The Duchessa reached out and briefly brushed the back of Rodolfo’s hand with her silver tipped finger, he took her hand and kissed it”
2. “Are you mad? You’ll be killed!”
3.”Arianna gave him a withering look”
Good vs. Evil:
1. "Go to the Duchessa's private apartments through this passage. Why, because the person coming up the stairs is Rinaldo Di Chimici.
2. “You haven’t been kidnapped, have you?
3. “The ‘kimmichee’, are they your enemies?” Rodolfo nodded.

“It was the oddest reading he had ever seen…” …
Friendship:
ReplyDelete'The only oarsman that ever meant anything to me was you' This gives us connotations that the Duchessa had a previous relationship with Rodolfo that we don't know.
Fate: "It was the oddest reading he had ever seen.' This shows that he was used to simple and uncomplicated signs for the future
Good Vs Evil:
When Rodolfo and Luciano are initially talking about the book, he says "The Di Chimici would happily kill you for that book.
Family:
"“She couldn’t pick her brothers from the many swaying revellers but her heart went out to them”
Even though she may have disagreed with her brothers at times, she still loved them dearly as family.
