Medini had become a sworn foe of mine. As soon as I came, he would go away, but I pretended not to notice him. He was at Goudar's when I introduced Morosini and his mentor, and thinking the young man good game he became very intimate with him. When he found out that Morosini would not hear of gaming, his hatred of me increased, for he was certain that I had warned the rich Venetian against him.
The young Englishman was indignant to hear them approving my ill-treatment of their father, and shook my hand and went away, swearing to me that he would never be seen in their company again. A whim of Goudar's, to which I was weak enough to consent, made me dine with these miserable women in a tavern on the borders of London.
I placed them beside Goudar's two hundred, and in two hours my bank was broken, and I went to console myself with my Callimena. Finding myself penniless I decided to yield to the pressure of Agatha's husband, who continued to beg me to take back the jewelry I had given his wife. I told Agatha I would never have consented if fortune had been kinder to me.
I then opened Goudar's letter, and read: "I am quite sure that the girl you know of is very far from dying, as she has gone to Ranelagh with Lord Grosvenor." Although Edgar was a profligate, he was a sensible man, and my story made him furious.
He foamed with rage, and told me that it was my turn this time, but that he hoped I would give him his revenge. "With pleasure, at Rome, and I hope the third lesson will be more effectual than the two I have already given you." He was losing a good deal of blood, so I sheathed his sword for him and advised him to go to Goudar's house, which was close at hand, and have his wound attended to.
The Charpillon was a born actress. She got up to go, and on my begging a kiss as a pledge of our reconciliation she replied, with a smile, the charm of which she well knew, that it would not do to begin by breaking the term of our agreement, and she left me more in love than ever, and full of repentance for my conduct.

Although Agatha was in the very flower of her beauty, the old fires were not rekindled in me. I was ten years older. My coolness pleased me, for I should not have liked to trouble the peace of a happy home. After leaving Agatha I proceeded to Goudar's, in whose bank I took a strong interest.

He committed the wild imprudence of traversing the Maremma in August, and was killed by the poisonous exhalations. I stopped at "Crocielles," as all the rich foreigners came to live there. I was thus enabled to make their acquaintance, and put them in the way of losing their money at Goudar's. I did not like my task, but circumstances were too strong for me.
