"The Conte Lombardoni?"

"You don't mean that?"
"What, arrested for this murder of La Bianca?"

"Leandro arrested on suspicion of murder? Well, I think the tragedy is passing into a farce."
"It will be fatal to Leandro. He will die of fright, if no other evil happens to him."
"Think of the cantos of verse he will make on it."
