A woman went to Naples to beg for the pardon of her two grandsons, by name Diego and Emilio. The King, with barbarous clemency, told her to choose one. In vain she entreated that if both could not be saved the choice should be left to chance, or decided by someone else.
'Don't be angry, please, Emil implored. 'Very well ... that's enough embracing. You get along now. I want to be alone. I'm going to sleep. I'm tired. 'An excellent idea! cried Pantaleone. 'You need repose! You have fully earned it, noble signor! Come along, Emilio! On tip-toe! On tip-toe! Sh sh sh!
