Saracinesca

CHAPTER XIV
8/30

"Do you call it satisfaction to cut a man's throat?
What was the real cause of the quarrel ?" "I do not know." "Do not tell me that--I do not believe you," answered Donna Tullia, angrily.
"I give you my word of honour that I do not know," returned the Prince.
"That is different.

Will you get in and drive with me for a few minutes ?" "At your commands." Saracinesca opened the carriage-door and got in.
"We shall astonish the world; but I do not care," said Donna Tullia.
"Tell me, is Don Giovanni seriously hurt ?" "No--a couple of scratches that will heal in a week.

Del Ferice is very seriously wounded." "I know," answered Donna Tullia, sadly.

"It is dreadful--I am afraid it was my fault." "How so ?" asked Saracinesca, quickly.

He had not heard the story of the forgotten waltz, and was really ignorant of the original cause of disagreement.
