Nina: Yes; a cavaliere errante.

Myself: Then who was the daughter of Cladinoro?

Nina: Ettorina.

Myself: Do you mean to say that Ettorina went mad for love of Ruggiero Persiano?

Nina: Yes.

Myself (rising to go): Finalmente!

Aless: Yes, but first you must know—

Myself: All right, Buffo, never mind about that; at last I know who Ettorina was and why she went mad and that will do for the present. Thank you very much and good night.

Gildo: That is what I said. Why did you laugh when I said that?

Myself: Say it again, Gildo, and I won’t laugh this time.
