In the evening a porter brought her trunk, and at this she seemed touched but not repentant. Leuzica supped with me and again shared my couch. The count left Trieste at day-break. As soon as I was sure that he was gone, I took a carriage and escorted the fair Leuzica two stages on her way to Laibach. We dined together, and I left her in the care of a friend of hers.
"You are right, the fair Leuzica is at this moment in my room. I have given her my word of honour that no violence shall be used, and you may be sure I shall keep my word." "I shall certainly not attempt any violence, but I am sure she would come of her own free will if I could speak to her." "I will ask her if she wishes to see you. Wait a moment."
Leuzica had been listening to our conversation, and when I opened the door she told me that I could let them in. As soon as Strasoldo appeared she asked him proudly if she was under any obligations to him, if she had stolen anything from him, and if she was not perfectly free to leave him when she liked.

"That's where you are mistaken," said she, "for there's only one bed, and I did not sleep on the floor." They found prayers and reproaches alike useless and left us at noon. Leuzica was profuse in her expressions of gratitude to me. There was no longer any mystery, so I boldly ordered dinner for two, and promised that she should remain with me till the count had left Trieste.

He is supping with Madame Bissolotti, who is in love with him." In the meantime Leuzica had undressed and got into bed. In a moment I was beside her, and after the severe regimen of the last eight months I spent a delicious night in her arms, for of late my pleasures had been few.
Leuzica was a perfect beauty, and worthy to be a king's mistress; and if I had been rich I would have set up a household that I might retain her in my service. We did not awake till seven o'clock. She got up, and on looking out of the window saw Strasoldo's carriage waiting at the door. I confronted her by saying that as long as she liked to stay with me no one could force her away.

At three o'clock the Venetian consul came, saying that Count Strasoldo had begged him to use his good offices with me to persuade me to deliver up the fair Leuzica. "You must speak to the girl herself," I replied; "she came here and stays here of her own free will." When the worthy man had heard the girl's story he went away, saying that we had the right on our side.
