She had never beenbeautiful, and had remained a spinster, wounded to the heart by theselection of Count Brandini, who had preferred her younger sister, Ernesta. From that moment she had resolved to seek consolation andsatisfaction in family pride alone, the hereditary pride of the greatname which she bore. The Boccaneras had... already supplied two Popes to theChurch, and she hoped that before she died her brother would become thethird.
