"Razetta was soundly cudgelled last night and thrown into a canal." "Has he been killed ?" "No; but I am glad of it for your sake, for his death would make your position much more serious.

You are accused of having done it." "I am very glad people think me guilty; it is something of a revenge, but it will be rather difficult to bring it home to me." "Very difficult! All the same, Razetta swears he recognized you, and the same declaration is made by the Forlan who says that you struck his hand to make him drop his lantern.

Razetta's nose is broken, three of his teeth are gone, and his right arm is severely hurt.

You have been accused before the avogador, and M.Grimani has written to the war office to complain of your release from the fortress without his knowledge.

I arrived at the office just in time.
