"When did I lose him?"
"Eleven years and five months since."
"And how many days?"
"Less five days."
"She is mistaken there," said the marquis to Lucilio; "for I heard from him after the time she mentions; but let us see if she can read the rest."
Again he turned to the child.
"How did I lose him?" he asked.
"By a violent death!" she replied; "but you will have consolation."
"When?"
"Within three months, three weeks or three days."
