No sooner did bright day appeare, but _Thebaldo_ arose, having acquainted her with such matters as were to be done, and once more earnestly desiring her, to conceale (as yet) these occurrences to her selfe. So, in his Pilgrimes habite, he departed from her house, to awaite convenient opportunity, for attending on the businesse belonging to _Aldobrandino_. At the usuall houre appointed, the Lords were all set in the _Signioria_, and had received full information, concerning the offence imputed to _Aldobrandino_: setting him at liberty by publique consent, and sentencing the other malefactors with death, who (within a fewe dayes after) were beheaded in the place where the murther was committed. Thus _Aldobrandino_ being released, to his exceeding comfort, and no small joy of his daughters, kindred and friends, all knowing perfectly, that this had happened by the Pilgrimes meanes: they conducted him home to _Aldobrandinoes_ house, where they desired him to continue so long as himselfe pleased, using him with most honourable and gracious respect; but especially _Hermelina_, who knew (better then the rest) on whom shee bestowed her liberall favours, yet concealing all closely to her selfe. After two or three dayes were over-past, in these complementall entercoursings of kindnesse, _Thebaldo_ began to consider, that it was high time for reconciliation, to be solemnely past betweene his brethren and _Aldobrandino_. For, they were not a little amazed at his strange deliverance, and went likewise continually armed, as standing in feare of _Aldobrandino_ and his friends; which made him the more earnest, for accomplishment of the promise formerly made unto him. _Aldobrandino_ lovingly replied, that he was ready to make good his word. Whereupon, the Pilgrime provided a goodly Banquet, whereat he purposed to have present, _Aldobrandino_, his daughter, kindred, and their wives. But first, himselfe would goe in person, to invite them in peace to his Banquet, to performe this desired pacification, and conferred with his brethren, using many pregnant and forcible arguments to them, such as are requisite in the like discordant cases. In the end, his reasons were so wise, and prevailing with them, that they willingly condiscended, and thought it no disparagement to them, for the recoverie of _Aldobrandinoes_ kindnesse againe, to crave pardon for their great error committed.
