On the steps below the people are swarming, hemmed in and shepherded by stately horsemen. The hall itself is resplendent with the most wonderful types of noble Venetian female beauty, surrounded by Venetian Nobili and ambassadors from the Orient.

Her proud, commanding, and yet graceful THE DUCAL PALACE 43 carriage breathes the whole consciousness of power of the sea-ruling Republic.
