“No.”
“Do you want any money?”
“I have sufficient. But the idea of leaving tomorrow has taken my breath away. I must have three days delay.”
“Why so?”
“I expect some letters the day after to-morrow, and I must write to my relations to tell them where I am going.”
“I will take charge of your letters and send them on to you.”
“Where shall I be?”
“I will tell you at the moment of your departure; trust in me. I will send you at once where you will be comfortable. All you have to do is to leave your trunk in the hands of your landlord, with orders not to give it up to anyone but myself.”
“Very good. I am to go without my trunk, then.”
“Yes. You must dine with me every day till you go, and mind not to tell anyone whatsoever that you intend leaving Bologna.”
