Excerpt from The Comical Romance, Vol. 2 of 2: And Other Tales
In the last chapter of the second part of this romance, you have had little Ragotin all bloody with the several repeated buttings he received from the ram, whilst he slept in a low chair in the comedian's chamber, and which, occasioned him to go out thence in a great fury. But he had received so deep a wound from Madam Star's eyes, and was withal so desirous of knowing the issue of the operator's scheme, that he could only afford himself time to wash his face and hands before he returned. As he was just entering the inn again, his brain was so disturbed, what with the blows, and what with the darts, that he mistook an advocate then walking by to the hall for Ferdinando the operator. He therefore accosted him very civilly, and began with him after this manner:
"Sir, I am happy in meeting you so luckily; I have long desired this opportunity, and I was just going to your lodgings, in great haste, to have a farther account from you of what concerns either my life or death.
