He seemed taken aback by it, and, one would have said, alarmed at it, in a manner which it seemed difficult for Signor Fortini to account for. "What is it astonishes you so, Signor Professore," said he; "surely you were prepared to find that a murder had been done? I never had any doubt of it; and why not in that way as well as another?
"Curious is it," said the count, "that you and the about-to-make-his- appearance tenor should the same name have." "He is a near relation, Signor Conte, the same whom you heard sing in the Pantheon. I hope you will like his voice." "That is what we shall see, Signor Professore," answered the other severely.
The author of this work, a Count von Henkel, congratulates a friend, who had been a witness of the "instructive death" of a certain Herr von Geusau, in these words: "It was worth while to have heard a Collegium privatissimum on the art of dying like a Christian, especially from such a professore moribundo."
One would say that this death must have been caused by some one who had some little knowledge of anatomy, or, at least, had been put up to the trick by some one else who possessed such knowledge," said the Professor, recovering himself with an effort.

"Come under the oak-trees, Gaspare," he said, "and I'll read to you. It will be a lesson in accent. You shall be my professore." "Si, signore." The response was listless, and Gaspare followed his master with listless footsteps down the little path that led to the grove of oak-trees that grew among giant rocks, on which the lizards were basking.
De Pretis did not praise him much to his face after they had begun to study, but he felt sure he would succeed. "Caro Conte," he often calls me Count, though I am only plain Professore, now "he has a voice like a trumpet and the patience of all the angels. He will be a great singer." "Well, it is not my fault," I used to answer; for what could I do?
