It's Dunbar, and he 's got a commissario of police with him! Now, what in the name of wonder do they want here? The two riders dismounted at the gate and came up the little path through the garden to the door. They walked stiffly, as though they had ridden for a long time, and their horses, tethered by the gate, looked used up and tired. Dunbar hardly paused to shake hands.
'If I had time, said Dunbar, 'I could tell you the story, but I see the fresh horses coming round, and I and the commissario must get away to Taco. He was in the saddle as he spoke, and rode off with the commissario.
Innumerable are the methods taken by the Romans to evade confession, among which the more common is to hire some one to confess for them. Others, though they go, confess nothing of moment. "You all here believe in the Pope and purgatory," I remarked to a commissario one day. "A few old women do," he replied. "Do you not believe in them?" I asked.
That is the fatal question, Signor Marchese, which it is impossible to avoid asking." "I am aware of the cruelty of the inference suggested by the circumstance, Signor Commissario," said Ludovico sadly. "Have you any suggestion to offer yourself as to the possible means by which this woman may have met with her death?" asked the Commissary of Police.
Here, at a well-lighted table in a rather stuffy room, sat a delegato or commissario I forget which surrounded, despite the lateness of the hour, by one or two subordinates. He was of middle age, and not prepossessing. He looked as if he could make himself unpleasant, though his face was not of that actively vicious or actively stupid: the terms are interconvertible kind.
"Permit me to observe, Signor Commissario, that after seeing the dead body at the gate, to say nothing of all the hours previously, if I had been guilty, I had abundance of time to escape, and to place myself beyond the reach of the Papal authorities, before I could have been overtaken. I might have done so, but did not.
