"Come, Julio, I am in a hurry to return to the factory. Fulfil your mission skilfully, and I will recompense you largely. But a thought strikes me. The pocket-book must not fall into the hands of Bufferio." "I had forgotten that," said Julio, embarrassed. "Ah!
But this morning I saw this Bufferio, whom you declare to be dead, walking alive in the public square." "Impossible; you are mistaken." "Perhaps so; but I know the ruffian well, for I have twice seen him in the pillory." "If he is not dead, he will certainly not be able to make his appearance in the streets for six months to come." "Of course, you took your money from Bufferio?" "How could I?"
When Julio found himself in the open air, he walked a short distance, then stopped, drew a long breath as if a heavy weight had fallen from his shoulders, and said, joyously: "Heavens! what an escape! I doubt if I am really alive. The difficult affair is at last concluded. The signor says that I am a coward. I would like to see him in that room with that infernal woman and the terrible Bufferio.
If these people were brave men, Bufferio and his comrades would have to deal with an equal number of adversaries. Who could foresee the termination of the struggle? However, he felt reassured on reflecting that Geronimo and the lute-players, being attacked unexpectedly, would not have time to defend themselves.
"Who am I? I come to arrange a secret affair with Bufferio, and I do not choose to tell my name." "You are an agent of the bailiff, and you wish to deceive me. Go on your way and leave me in peace. Bufferio is not at home." The man took some pieces of silver from his pocket and rattled them together. "You are mistaken, woman. I have need of the services of Bufferio for an important affair.
This assurance restored the stranger's confidence, and he said, in a more steady voice: "Signor Bufferio, you must know that I have an enemy who insults and outrages me, and who threatens to drive me to ruin." "I understand. You wish to be avenged by my instrumentality." "Yes, signor. How many golden crowns do you ask for such a service?"
