“No, indeed, you are much stronger since we came here.”
“True, but I must take care not to get ill. Listen, Lucia; I should like to go to Naples, to-day.”
“What for?”
“For Carderelli to examine my chest thoroughly.”
“And leave me alone?”
“For a short time, dear. Sai, just to reassure myself.”
“I shall weary for you, Alberto mio. When do you return?”
“To-day, at half-past six, in time for dinner.”
“Without fail, caro mio?”
“Why, of course! When I arrive at the station, I shall breakfast; then go home for a moment; then to Carderelli, and back again.”
