daughter. I have not the strength to curse you, but I cast you off;

unhappy girl," he added, after a moment's silence. "Go, and never come

So saying, he took Ginevra by the arm to the gate of the house and
silently put her out.
"Luigi!" cried Ginevra, entering the humble lodging of her lover,--"my
Luigi, we have no other fortune than our love."
