“There’s no need for you to hurry yourself.”
“There is a very great hurry. I cannot breathe the air of a country where liberty is unknown and the sovereign breaks his word; that is what I am going to write to your master.”
As I was going out I met Medini, who had come on the same business as myself.
I laughed, and informed him of the results of my interview, and how I had been told to go to Pisa.
“What! have you been expelled, too?”
“Yes.”
“What have you done?”
“Nothing.”
“Nor I. Let us go to Pisa.”
“You can go if you like, but I shall leave Florence tonight.”
