cards at the club later tonight! And he can afford to lose!"

"Dear countess, with your talents, you

could be of much use to the church!"

Brother Matthias, another party is being held... under different circumstances.

me to kiss lies my future and destiny!"

death a liberation...

flowers from?"

Palace and prepare the Countess for the disaster!"

Three matadors caught.

Beware. The second.

"It was merely a poor joke!"

The plot thickens for Sandro Grec.

"I must inform you of

bad news... "

"Your fear and anxiety is absolutely

ridiculous and unfounded!"

"No need to lood for your card!

... We know you:
Leon Spontazzi!"

I don't want your compassion!"
