If you are going to the Circolo, I would walk with you, and we could speak there," said Fortini.
"I'll be there in less than ten minutes.

But I want first to run just as far as La Lalli's lodging in the Strada di Porta Sisi, only to ask a question," said Ludovico.
"La Lalli again! The devil fly away with her! It was about her that I wanted to speak to you," said the lawyer.
"What about her?
Have you seen her?
Do you know where she is ?" asked Ludovico, hurriedly and anxiously.
"I seen her! No.

Where she is?
In her bed most likely, after dancing all last night, I should think!" "Well, I must run and just ascertain whether she is at home!" said Ludovico, again trying to escape.

But the old lawyer, partly put a little bit out of temper by the young man's evident wish to get rid of him, partly angered by finding the nephew thus running after the same mischief that was threatening to ruin his uncle, and partly thinking that it was desirable that the news he had to tell should be told before Ludovico should come to speech with his uncle, was determined not to let him escape till he had said what he had to say.
"Very well, Signor.

I can say what I have to say in the street as well as anywhere else.
