I found a good conveyance at the farm, and the man promised to drive me in to Gorice by dinner-time. I gave him half-a-crown as an earnest, and went away, telling him to come for me. I returned to the count's and had scarcely finished getting ready when the conveyance drove up. I was about to put my luggage in it, when a servant came from the count asking me to give him a moment's conversation.
She also made me accept some splendid Indian handkerchiefs. Six years later I met her again at Pesaro. I left Ancona on November 14th, and on the 15th I was at Trieste.

At last I resolved on returning to Trieste, where I had more chances of serving and pleasing the State Inquisitors. I stayed at Gorice till the end of the year 1773, and passed an extremely pleasant six weeks. My adventure at Spessa had become public property. At first everybody addressed me on the subject, but as I laughed and treated the whole thing as a joke it would soon be forgotten.
"Because the count left yesterday for Gorice, telling me he did not know when he should come back. He ordered me to give you your meals in your room." "Very good. I will dine at one." No one could be more in favour of liberty and independence than myself, but I could not help feeling that my rough host should have told me he was going to Gorice.
"You make a mistake. I should be a fool if I dined with you when our miserable dispute is all over the village; to-morrow it will have reached Gorice." "If you won't dine with me, I will dine with you, and people may say what they like. We will go after dinner, so send away that conveyance." I had to give in to him.
Some Adventures at Trieste I Am of Service to the Venetian Government My Expedition to Gorice and My Return to Trieste I Find Irene as an Actress and Expert Gamester Some of the ladies of Trieste thought they would like to act a French play, and I was made stage manager. I had not only to choose the pieces, but to distribute the parts, the latter being a duty of infinite irksomeness.
I was no longer looked upon as an exile, but as one who had successfully escaped from illegal confinement. The day after I accompanied M. Zaguri to Gorice, where he stayed three days to enjoy the hospitality of the nobility. I was included in all their invitations, and I saw that a stranger could live very pleasantly at Gorice.
He assured me that it should not happen again, that he had gone to Gorice to meet an actress, who had come there purposely to see him, and that he had also profited by the opportunity to sign a contract of marriage with a Venetian lady. These excuses and the apparently polite tone in which they were uttered induced me to prolong my stay with the extraordinary count.

Among the persons of quality who came to Gorice, I met a certain Count Torriano, who persuaded me to spend the autumn with him at a country house of his six miles from Gorice. If I had listened to the voice of my good genius I should certainly never have gone. The count was under thirty, and was not married.
