And the other fellow?" "I think I hit him." Brandolaccio ran after the dog to the nearest field and leaned over to look at the other side of the wall, then pulling off his cap "Signor Orlanduccio, I salute you!" said he, then turning toward Orso, he bowed to him, also, gravely. "That," he remarked, "is what I call a man who has been properly done for."
"Upon my word," cried Brandolaccio, utterly astonished, "a right and left, that's what it is! Deuce take it! Clear enough, powder must be dear, for you don't waste it!" "What do you mean, for God's sake?" asked Orso. "Come, sir, don't try to humbug me; you bring down the dame, and then you want somebody to pick it up for you.
"Come, Brandolaccio, what can I leave with you?" The bandit scratched his head and cast a sidelong glance at Orso's gun. "By my faith, if I dared but no! you're too fond of it." "What would you like?" "Nothing! 'Tisn't anything at all. It's knowing how to use it as well. I keep thinking of that devil of a double-shot of yours and with only one hand, too! Oh! that never could happen twice over!"
Giocanto says it hurt him dreadfully to write. Giocanto, who writes a splendid hand, offered to do it at his dictation. But he would not let him. He wrote it with a pencil, lying on his back. Brandolaccio held the paper for him. My brother kept trying to raise himself, and then the very slightest movement gave him the most dreadful agony in his arm. Giocanto says it was pitiful.
"If we were in the open country, and each of us had his gun, he wouldn't talk in that way." "Here's a pretty folly!" cried Brandolaccio. "Don't you quarrel with the Padre, Orlanduccio!" "Will you be good enough to allow me to leave this room, Signor della Rebbia," said the prefect, and he stamped his foot in his impatience. "Saveria! Saveria!" shouted Orso, "open the door, in the devil's name!"
