"You can imagine," he said, "what a sensation the swooning made, and the commotion that followed it." "Yes, I can imagine that," she answered.
A chill crept over me, the light, the walls, my brother, and Raffaelle all swam round, and I sank swooning on the stairs. When I returned fully to my senses we were in the landau again making our way back to the Villa de Angelis.
