Two to one I bet that it turns out that the Venetian girl has done the trick."
Il n'eut pas besoin, comme Ulysse, de se lier au mat du navire, ni de se boucher les oreilles avec de la cire; il ne redoutait pas le chant des Sirenes il le dedaignait; il se fit marbre et fer pour executer ses grands projets.
