Synopsis
Excerpt from Life of Victor Emmanuel II, Vol. 2 of 2: First King of Italy
The king was ill in bed, but he did not allow a moment's time to be lost. When he had made up his mind on the right course to pursue he acted with promptitude and decision. An officer was sent in hot haste to Palazzo Cavour with orders to bring the count back with him immediately. He was just stepping into his carriage to go to the station when the royal mes senger caught him. The king received him coldly, as if the memory of the Villafranca interview had come to his mind.
