"They say it's worth a thousand sequins," said she. "Yes, that is so; but I would sell everything I possess before parting with any of the articles which I intend for the fair sex." "Marquis Triulzi wants it badly to present to someone." "I am very sorry, but I cannot sell it to him." She went away without a word, but I could see that she was exceedingly vexed at my refusal.
Thus armed against the glances of the curious, I sat down at Canano's table and commenced to play in quite a different fashion. I had a hundred Spanish pieces in my pocket worth seven hundred Venetian sequins. I had got this Spanish money from Greppi, and I took care not to use what Triulzi had given me for fear he should know me.
And, having arrived in Rome, he had not been long there before he contrived by means of friends to show that picture to Cardinal Triulzi, whom it satisfied in such a manner that he not only bought it, but also conceived a very great affection for Daniello; and a short time afterwards he sent him to work in a village without Rome belonging to himself, called Salone, where he had built a very large house, which he was having adorned with fountains, stucco-work, and paintings, and in which at that very time Gian Maria da Milano and others were decorating certain rooms with stucco and grotesques.
I thanked and embraced everyone, the good canon amongst others, and whispering to Eleanore to see to her sister I jumped into the carriage beside the count. We remained perfectly silent, and slept nearly the whole of the way. We found the Marquis Triulzi and the countess together, and the former immediately sent for a dinner for four.
"My wife is very well," said he, "and told me to wish you good day." I did not expect this, and I no doubt looked somewhat astonished. "I am glad," he said, "that you gave her francs instead of the sequins you got from Triulzi, and I hope, as Triulzi said, you will have luck with it at the bank."

"It is said that they are Venetians, and that they went to Bergamo." "It may be so, but I know nothing about them. I left the ball before they did." In the evening I supped with the countess, her husband, and Triulzi. They were of the same opinion as Canano. Triulzi said that I had let the cat out of the bag by giving the beggars handfuls of sequins. "That is a mistake," I answered.

The three mendicants bowed gratefully to me and left the room. The Marquis Triulzi who sat near Canano, said, "The beggar in the straw-coloured dress is certainly Casanova." "I recognized him directly," replied the banker, "but who are the others?" "We shall find out in due time." "A dearer costume could not be imagined; all the dresses are quite new."
I have not the slightest doubt that if they could find any more Gieppis they would be willing enough to lower themselves." She would doubtless have made a sharp reply, for what I had said had angered her; but the Marquis Triulzi arriving, she went out with him, while her husband and myself went to a place where there was a bank at faro, the banker only having a hundred sequins before him.
