Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Fool Errant The top-heavy, four-horsed, yellow old coach from Vicenza, which arrived at Padua every night of the year, brought with it in particular on the night of October 13, 1721, a tall, personable young man, an Englishman, in a dark blue cloak, who swang briskly down from the coupe and asked in stilted Italian for "La sapienza del Signor Dottor´ Lanfranchi." From out of a cloud of steam - for the weather was wet and the speaker violently hot - a husky voice replied, "Eccomi - eccomi, a servirla." The young man took off his hat and bowed. "Have I the honour to salute so much learning?" he asked courteously. "Let me present myself to my preceptor as Mr. Francis Strelley of Upcote." "His servant," said the voice from the cloud, "and servant of his illustrious father. Don Francis, be accommodated; let your mind be at ease. Your baggage? These fellows are here for it. Your valise? I carry it. Your hand? I take it. Follow me." These words were accompanied by action of the most swift and singular kind. Mr. Strelley saw two porters scramble after his portmanteaux, had his valise rest from his hand, and that hand firmly grasped before he could frame his reply.
