The character of the calm, pure-spirited Angiolina is developed most admirably.  The great difference between her temper and that of her fiery husband is vividly portrayed, but not less vividly touched is that strong bond of union which exists in the common nobleness of their deep natures.  There is no spark of jealousy in the old man’s thoughts.  He does not expect the fervor of youthful passion in his young wife; but he finds what is far better—­the fearless confidence of one so innocent that she can scarcely believe in the existence of guilt....  She thinks Steno’s greatest punishment will be “the blushes of his privacy.”—­Lockhart.
