Von weitem hörte ich den Ton der kleinen Glocke, die über seiner Hütte angebracht war, und fühlte mich von seltsamen Schauern, von düsterer Ahnung durchbebt.

The arrangement was, that a rumour should be circulated that the Genoese fleet was close outside the Lagoons; and that then the great bell of San Marco should be tolled, in the night, to call the populace to an imaginary defence.
Man wollte (so war der Plan der Verschwornen) die Nachricht ausbreiten, die genuesische Flotte liege vor den Lagunen. In der Nacht sollte dann die große Glocke auf dem Marcusturm gezogen und die Stadt zu erdichteten Verteidigungen gerufen werden.

It had been so long since it had been cleaned that, even on summer noons with the sun like a brass bell across pavement and rooftop and wall, the light sifted down here with a chill autumnal hue.
Die Fensterscheiben waren schon so lange nicht mehr gereinigt worden, daß das Licht selbst an Sommernachmittagen, wenn die Sonne wie ein Messinggong auf Pflaster und Dach und Mauern knallte, kalt und schal herabdriftete.
