You think so, don't you ?" he said, turning to the Marchesa with a smile.

"You'd better!" said the Marchesa, laughing gaily.
As she spoke she seated herself at the table, beside Olivo, with Lorenzi on the other hand.

Opposite sat Amalia, between the Marchese and Casanova.

Next to Casanova, at one end of the long, narrow table, was Marcolina; next to Olivo, at the other end, sat the Abbate.

Supper, like dinner, was a simple but tasteful meal.
