"I have not much to say, and I wish you to hear it." They were all standing. Gregorio steadied himself by the head of the couch, and was as erect as ever.

And the day after his death, Don Teodoro came and told it all to me."

"As our troops were retiring, Don Gregorio, far from giving himself those airs which governors generally do on such occasions, made no other sally, than sending a respectful compliment to the prince. Signor Brice set out not long after for Madrid, to give an account of his conduct, and to receive the recompense he had merited.

Gregorio lay howling with pain in his room. But Matilde had warned him that it would come, after they had left Veronica's room together, and he knew that everything depended on his not hinting at the truth. The doctor came to Matilde first. Far away, at the other end of the house, Elettra was with Veronica.
