"Now what will I do for you in return for this?" he asked.
"Keep a watch on the little house and the garden. I will tell you why
when I return. Observe who goes in to visit the Princess, but hinder no
one. Only remember who they are and let me know." And Wogan got back to
his lodging and mounted his black horse. He could trust O'Toole to play
watchdog in his absence. If the mysterious visitor who had bestowed upon
Clementina with so liberal a hand so much innuendo and such an artful
combination of truth and falsity, were to come again to the little house
to confirm the slanders, Wogan in the end would not fail to discover the
visitor's identity.
He dismissed the matter from his mind and rode out from Bologna. Four
days afterwards he presented himself at the door of the Caprara Palace.
