By that time I had got about sick of his society, and said bluntly that, as I knew Genoa thoroughly, I was not going anywhere in the Galleria Mazzini, as he suggested, but to somewhere in another direction; and, further, that as his idea of his menu and mine didn't appear to coincide in any one item, we had better bid one another good afternoon.
"Quilted sleeves" would no doubt be the tailor's term. It is not quite clear whether the single letter is F or T. See Crowe and Cavalcaselle, p. 201. Gronau: Tizian, p. 21. See, however, note on p. 133. La Galleria Crespi. The documents quoted by Signor Venturi show the signature was there in 1640. When in the Martinengo Gallery at Brescia it bore this name.
