On the fourth day, the Abbe Tosello came for me with instructions to bring me to Venice.

I asked him whether he had sifted this unpleasant affair; he told me that he had enquired into it, that he had seen the other seminarist, and that he believed we were both innocent; but the rector would not confess himself in the wrong, and he did not see what could be done.
I threw off my seminarist's habit, and dressed myself in the clothes I used to wear in Venice, and, while my luggage was carried to a boat, I accompanied the abbe to M.Grimani's gondola in which he had come, and we took our departure.

On our way, the abbe ordered the boatman to leave my things at the Palace Grimani, adding that he was instructed by M.Grimani to tell me that, if I had the audacity to present myself at his mansion, his servants had received orders to turn me away.
He landed me near the convent of the Jesuits, without any money, and with nothing but what I had on my back.
I went to beg a dinner from Madame Manzoni, who laughed heartily at the realization of her prediction.

After dinner I called upon M.Rosa to see whether the law could protect me against the tyranny of my enemies, and after he had been made acquainted with the circumstances of the case, he promised to bring me the same evening, at Madame Orio's house, an extra-judicial act.

I repaired to the place of appointment to wait for him, and to enjoy the pleasure of my two charming friends at my sudden reappearance.
