At Pesaro, the Jewess Leah, with whom he had the most singular experiences at Ancona in 1772. Soon after reaching Venice, Casanova learned that the Landgrave of Hesse Cassel, following the example of other German princes, wished a Venetian correspondent for his private affairs.
Thus the Abbe Casanova passed away, and I did not care whether he knew or not where the three pauls had come from. As long as I stayed at Rome the nine piastres a month came in regularly, but after my departure he returned to Rome, went to another convent, and died there suddenly thirteen or fourteen years ago. Medini had also arrived in Rome, but we had not seen each other.
"I suppose," she said, "it was your meeting with the Chevalier that has made you so late, Olivo?" "Yes, that is why I am late. But I hope there is still something to eat?" "Marcolina and I were frightfully hungry, but of course we have waited dinner for you." "Can you manage to wait a few minutes longer," asked Casanova, "while I get rid of the dust of the drive?"
"You were wearing, I am sure of it, the thin gold chain you are wearing to-day, and yet I had never seen it until this morning!" "An old man, looking like a beggar, opened the carriage door. It was Lorenzi. As for you, Casanova, you were young, quite young, younger even than you seemed to me in those days."
This was at the commencement of October. On the 8th of that month Balbi wrote to Casanova that a whole night devoted to labour had resulted merely in the displacing of a single brick, which so discouraged the faint-hearted monk that he was for abandoning an attempt whose only result must be to increase in the future the rigour of their confinement.
M. Octave Uzanne, though he had not himself visited Dux, had indeed procured copies of some of the manuscripts, a few of which were published by him in Le Livre, in 1887 and 1889.

It is not believable that the great philosopher could ignore the fact that it would be impossible to give the machine any other direction than that governed by the air which fills it, but these people 'nil tam verentur, quam ne dubitare aliqua de re videantur." On the 13th November, Casanova left Paris in company with his brother, Francesco, whose wife did not accompany him.
Three young girls sprang out, moving with such activity that the knife-board on which they had been sitting flew into the air and was overturned. "My daughters," said Olivo, turning to Casanova with a proprietary air. Casanova promptly moved as if to relinquish his seat in the carriage. "Stay where you are, my dear Chevalier," said Olivo.
She loves books, the sky, the meadows, butterflies, playing with children. She has inherited a small competence which more than suffices for her needs." "Were I but a sovereign prince," cried Casanova, somewhat theatrically, as was his wont when strongly moved. "Had I but the power to commit men to prison, to send them to the scaffold. But I am nothing. A beggar, and a liar into the bargain.
Camille lived at the Barriere Blanche, and on leaving her house, one rainy evening, I sought in vain for a coach to take me home. "My dear Casanova," said Tour d'Auvergne, "I can drop you at your own door without giving myself the slightest inconvenience, though my carriage is only seated for two; however, my sweetheart can sit on our knees."
