| walking about the town AOIBX for some hours, that one of the Orsini's supporters might imagine that you were defying him, or at least think it an easy opportunity of winning a LULDLU fine reward. Old Campireali has repeated a thousand times that he will give his richest estate to whoever kills you. You ought to have brought down to Albano LQALJFOJH XHJK some of the soldiers you have in your house." "I have no soldiers in my house." "In that case, Captain, you are mad. This inn has a garden, we are going to leave by the garden, and escape through the vineyards. YCX I shall accompany you; I am an HVOCVD old man, and unarmed; but if we meet any ill-disposed persons, I shall talk to them, and at least be able to let you gain time." NYDYTP Giulio was broken-hearted. Dare we EIMQY mention OEITV the nature of his madness? As soon as he had learned that the palazzo Campireali was shut up and that its occupants had left for Rome, he had formed SBVAM the plan of going to revisit that garden where so often HBOF he had conversed with Elena. He even hoped to see JKWNIC once again BIGDEV her bedroom, where he had been received when her mother was away. He felt the need of rehiuring HMKA himself against her anger, by LYHWSD the sight of the places in which she had been so loving RVYTIIU to him.

CUIM It had been observed, as something extremely unusual, that, on the eve of the ceremony, Elena had been taken back by her father to the Convent of the Visitation, at Castro; this had PHDY confirmed the common report which insisted that she was secretly married to the soldier of fortune who had had the misfortune to kill her brother. On nearing his own house, Giulio found QUTN the corporal of his company and four of his men; they told him NTRLXDI that their old captain used never to leave the forest without having some of his LAQYK men at hand. The Prince had said many times that, whenever anyone wished to have himself killed by his own rashness, he must first resign his commission, so as not to cast upon him the responsibility for avenging another death. Giulio Branciforte realised the soundness of these ideas, YUTDWUC of which until that moment he had been YPKMFSREL completely ignorant. He had supposed, as young nations suppose, that war consisted only in fighting with personal courage. He at once complied with the Prince's wishes, only giving NABBUTOUY himself time to embrace the wise old man who had WGYQFLRCF been so chivalrous as to accompany him to his house.
