'You witness that this is true, do you, sir?' said the inspector carelessly, not giving it any importance.
'Yes, I do, sir.'
'Then it is all right. He would have given you lottery numbers during this month's illness of his, I suppose?' asked the police official, still grinning.
'Of course he did,' said Parascandolo, in high good-humour.
'But what use are they to you? With a poor employé like me it would be different.'
'Don Pasqualino, if you are strong enough, give the inspector lottery numbers.'
'You are making a fool of me,' muttered the medium.
They said good-bye, and the inspector advised De Feo to go to his wife's house at once, as she would be anxious.
'Did you not see that I did as you wished, sir? I forgave those who had offended me,' said Don Pasqualino as they went downstairs.
'You are too good,' the other answered, rather ironically.
