Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from La Chartreuse De Parme, Vol. 3 of 3
Ing I wonder what he would say! You are going to attempt an escape, eh, Monsignor? What would you do when you found your self back in Parma, you idiot? Would n't your very first thought be how you could most quickly get back to Clelia? If there is to be a row let 's take advantage of the confusion to slip into the Governor's palace; perhaps I may find an opportunity to speak to her; I may even muster up courage to kiss her hand. General Conti, as vain as he is timid, has his palace guarded by five sen tries, one at each angle of the building and a fifth at the main entrance; but luckily the night is overcast. He went to see what Grillo and his dog were doing: the turnkey was sound asleep in a primitive hammock made of an ox-hide and a network of stout cord Towzer Opened his eyes, rose, and crept softly up to lick the young man's hand.
