I say to you again, she will never give herself to any man." Olivo, who had been drinking freely, suddenly rose, glass in hand, and delivered himself of a few stumbling phrases concerning the great honor conferred upon his humble home by the visit of his dear friend, the Chevalier de Seingalt.
"He also says that you endorsed the bill with a false name." "Then he lies again, for I signed myself Seingalt, and that name is mine." "In short, it is a case of a Jew who has been beaten, and is afraid of being duped. I pity such an animal, and I must see what I can do to prevent his keeping you here till he learns the fate of the bill at Amsterdam.
When we were breakfasting he shewed me a letter written by Possano, in which the rascal said that he was ready to abandon proceedings provided that M. de Seingalt gave him a hundred louis, on receipt of which he promised to leave Lyons immediately. "I should be a great fool," said I, "if I gave the knave more money to escape from the hands of justice.
"It's the simplest thing in the world." "Kindly explain." "The alphabet belongs equally to the whole human race; no one can deny that. I have taken eight letters and combined them in such a way as to produce the word Seingalt. It pleased me, and I have adopted it as my surname, being firmly persuaded that as no one had borne it before no one could deprive me of it, or carry it without my consent."
"Clementine, help me to keep M. de Seingalt; you must make him postpone his letter-writing." "But my dear brother," said the charming girl, "if M. de Seingalt has business to do, it would be rude of me to try and prevent his doing it." Though what she said was perfectly reasonable, it stung me to the quick; when one is in an ill humour, everything is fuel for the fire.
"Perhaps," she said with a smile, "I may look in at Ferney on the way, in order to learn from Voltaire's own lips how he has been affected by the polemic of the Chevalier de Seingalt, his most formidable adversary." Casanova was walking with a hand on the side of the carriage, close to Marcolina's arm. Her loose sleeve was touching his fingers.
"M. de Raiberti mentioned your name to me this morning. You must be the Chevalier de Seingalt?" "Exactly." "I can give the young lady lessons every morning at nine o'clock at my own home." "No, do you come to her house, but at whatever hour you like. I will pay you, and I hope you will make her one of your best pupils. I must warn you, however, that she is not a novice."
When I went to Madame du Rumain's, the porter said, "Sir, everybody is still asleep, but who are you? I have instructions." "I am the Chevalier de Seingalt." "Kindly come into my lodge, and amuse yourself with my niece. I will soon be with you." I went in, and found a neatly-dressed and charming girl. "Mademoiselle," said I, "your uncle has told me to come and amuse myself with you."
M. Morosini, pretending not to know that she was to return to Venice, told her that unless she made haste to acquire French, the universal language, she would find London very tedious, as the Italian language was very little known there. "I hope," she replied, "that M. de Seingalt will not bring me into the society of people with whom I cannot exchange ideas.
