"I am afraid," she added, "that the rascal has followed me here, and will be annoying me." "Don't be afraid," I answered, "I will see what I can do." When I got to the hotel I entered the abbe's room, and by Possano's bed I saw an individual collecting lint and various surgical instruments. "What's all this? Are you ill?"

She could never be happy till she found someone who would make her forget the rascal who had brought her to the brink of ruin. I seized the opportunity, when all my guests were engaged with each other, to open Possano's letter. It ran as follows: "I went to the bank to change the piece of gold you gave me.

He added that as I had M. Bono as a witness I ought to make Possano's advocate present his plea, and I authorized him to take proceedings in my name.
I asked him to find me a trusty fellow to track out the rascally Possano, but the worthy man would not hear of it. He shewed me that it would be dishonourable to set a spy on the actions of Possano's advocate. I knew it myself; but what man is there who has not yielded to the voice of vengeance, the most violent and least reasonable of all the passions.

We sat down to table, and a letter was handed to me. I recognized Possano's writing, and put it in my pocket without reading it. The dinner was delicious, and my cook was pronounced to have won his spurs.
You need not be alarmed, however, at having spoken to me, for I assure you that I will make no use whatever of the information. Possano's plea or accusation will not be drawn up till the day after to-morrow, but I will not tell him to make baste for fear of your anticipating him, as I have only been informed of your intentions by hazard.
