“No, the servant.”
“Shocking!” exclaimed Reynaldo, with an air of disgust.
Bazilio gave all the details of the affair, and folding his arms, said in conclusion,—
“And now, what is to be done?”
“Slip away,” returned the other, rising.
“Where are you going?” asked Bazilio.
“To the bath.”
Bazilio requested him to wait a moment, saying he wanted to consult him.
“Impossible!” exclaimed Reynaldo, with rude egotism. “Come downstairs you. One can talk in the water as well.”
And he left the room, calling to William, his English servant, to accompany him.
