"I am in the same state as you," said I, "but I will not take the trouble of convincing you." "That can't be," said he; and passing his hand rapidly over me he assured himself that it was so. "It's astonishing," he cried; "you must be as impotent as I am." "If I wanted to controvert that assertion one glance into Leonilda's eyes would be enough."
When I left her after we had shared an ecstatic embrace, I returned to my room, leaving the door open. As soon as I had reason to suppose that she was asleep, I returned, and passed through her room to Leonilda's. She was expecting me, but did not know of my presence till I notified it with a kiss.
Both Leonilda and myself wished to see Caserta before leaving Naples, and the duke sent us there in a carriage drawn by six mules, which went faster than most horses. Leonilda's governess accompanied us. The day after, we settled the particulars of our marriage in a conversation which lasted for two hours.

I felt curious to learn more about this generous Tuscan, so I proceeded to read Leonilda's letter. His name, it appeared, was M . He was a rich merchant established in London, and had been commended to her husband by a Knight of Malta. Leonilda said he was generous, good-hearted, and polished, and assured me that I should like him.
I thought, too, that the banker might have his doubts after the two heavy losses I had sustained, and I confess that I was also actuated by the gambler's superstition that by making a change of any kind one changes the luck. I spent four hours at the theatre in Leonilda's box, where I found her more gay and charming than I had seen her before.

Early next morning I went to his room, and after an affectionate embrace I told him not to forget that we were going to breakfast with his fair mistress. We both put on great coats and went to Leonilda's pretty house. We found her sitting up in bed, negligently but decently dressed, with a dimity corset tied with red ribbons. She looked beautiful, and her graceful posture added to her charms.
I took Leonilda's hand and pressed my lips to it, and just as the duke thought he had triumphed I besprinkled him, and went off into a roar of laughter. He laughed too, and went to get a napkin. The girl could see nothing of all this, as it went on under the table; and while my burning lips rested on her hand, my eyes were fixed on hers and our breath mingled.
