From the manner he fixes his eyes upon Trenta it is clear he does not at once recognize him. The cavaliere returns his stare with a look of blank dismay. "Oh, carissimo!" the count exclaims at last, his countenance changing to its usual expression he holds out both hands to grasp those of the cavaliere "how I rejoice to see you! Excuse my absence; I had forgotten our appointment at the moment.
He covered her with his glance, so that she preened herself. He laughed lightly at her vanity, and, leaning over, kissed her lovely shoulder. Quickly, with both hands she held him close, her cheek against his. "Carissimo," she said tensely, "if you ever love any other woman " "I love you," he said, against her lips; "let there be no doubt of that." And there was a long silence between them.
I pulled him out as gently as I could, for he was so frightened that he growled and snapped viciously at me. I handed him to the gendarme, for by the side of Carissimo I had seen something which literally froze my blood within my veins.

Then he flew up the stairs, changed into his disguise, Carissimo barking all the time furiously. Whilst he was trying to pacify the dog, the latter bit him severely in the arm, drawing a good deal of blood the crimson scar across his face was a last happy inspiration which put the finishing touch to his disguise and to the hoodwinking of the police and of me.

Within the next few minutes he would have been face to face with me, for I had come to a halt at the angle of the street, determined to have it out with the rascal then and there in spite of the cold and in spite of my anxiety about Carissimo. All of a sudden he raised his head and saw me, and in a second he turned on his heel and began to run up the street in the direction whence he had come.
