"You are in relations with Monsieur le Vicomte Philibert de la Choue, are you not, my son?" continued Leo XIII.

"Yes, indeed, Holy Father, Monsieur de la Choue is kind enough to show me some affection.
As a rule, he passed in all modesty down the lane, and entered by the little side door, a key of which had been given him. But he had that morning received a letter from M. de la Choue, and desired to communicate it to Benedetta. So he ascended the grand staircase, and on reaching the anteroom was surprised to find nobody there.
Now there's a detestable man for you! Why, he's gone and bought an actress an estate about a league from here, over Gumieres way, beyond the Choue. The whole countryside's scandalized.

It so chanced that the Viscount de la Choue was connected with the family, his younger brother having married a Brandini, sister to Benedetta's father; and thus, with the courtesy rank of uncle, he had, in Count Brandini's time, frequently sojourned at the mansion in the Via Giulia.
"Monsieur de la Choue," said he, "has shown me so much kindness and is so anxious to know the fate reserved to my book as if, indeed, it were his own that I should have been very happy to convey to him an expression of your Holiness's approval." However, the Pope continued wiping his mouth and did not reply.
