—bless my hero-friend,

Luitolfo!

Eu. How he knocks!

Ch. The peril, lady!

"Chiappino, I have run a risk—a risk!

For when I prayed the Provost (he 's my friend)

To grant you a week's respite of the sentence

That confiscates your goods, exiles yourself,

He shrugged his shoulder—I say, shrugged it! Yes,

And fright of that drove all else from my head.
