| walking about the town XEKJK for some hours, that one of the Orsini's supporters might imagine that you were defying him, or at least think it an easy opportunity of winning a WCNSDU fine reward. Old Campireali has repeated a thousand times that he will give his richest estate to whoever kills you. You ought to have brought down to Albano BUXIUKKHS HQVH some of the soldiers you have in your house." "I have no soldiers in my house." "In that case, Captain, you are mad. This inn has a garden, we are going to leave by the garden, and escape through the vineyards. LFX I shall accompany you; I am an YSAQSF old man, and unarmed; but if we meet any ill-disposed persons, I shall talk to them, and at least be able to let you gain time." DFRDJH Giulio was broken-hearted. Dare we XNDAI mention DKGNU the nature of his madness? As soon as he had learned that the palazzo Campireali was shut up and that its occupants had left for Rome, he had formed PHEGF the plan of going to revisit that garden where so often LTKJ he had conversed with Elena. He even hoped to see SGLMBS once again RINUUU her bedroom, where he had been received when her mother was away.

On nearing his own house, Giulio found GETL the corporal of his company and four of his men; they told him ROAUHLS that their old captain used never to leave the forest without having some of his UFRFU men at hand. The Prince had said many times that, whenever anyone wished to have himself killed by his own rashness, he must first resign his commission, so as not to cast upon him the responsibility for avenging another death. Giulio Branciforte realised the soundness of these ideas, YYLWWTW of which until that moment he had been FCHHGLQAR completely ignorant. He had supposed, as young nations suppose, that war consisted only in fighting with personal courage. He at once complied with the Prince's wishes, only giving UTDOLGJSR himself time to embrace the wise old man who had DNAWUUVUI been so chivalrous as to accompany him to his house.
