As soon as he felt himself caught, he begged me not to make any noise, swearing he would return all the handkerchiefs he had stolen from me, which, as he confessed, amounted to seven or eight. "You have stolen more than twenty from me." "Not I, but some of my mates. If you come with me, perhaps we shall be able to get them all back." "Is it far off?" "In the Largo del Castello.
