'Malo scriptor delirus, inersque videri, Dum mea delectent mala me vel denique fallunt, Quam sapere'
When I came back I found Mardocheus at supper with his numerous fa his mother--an old woman of ninety, who looked very well I noticed another Jew of hter, who did not strike hter, as destined for a Jew of Pesaro, whoed all my attention I remarked to her that if she had not seen her future husband she could not be in love with him, whereupon she replied in a serious voice that it was not necessary to be in love before one irl for this sentiment, and said she had not been in love with her husband till the first child was born
I shall call the pretty Jewess Leah, as I have good reasons for not using her real na their reeable as possible, but she would not even look at me
My supper was excellent, and my bed very comfortable
The next day ive et it up for me
I told hiras every day as I had a dispensation
”You shall have some to-morrow, but Leah is the only one of us who eats it”
”Then Leah ive her some Cyprus hich is perfectly pure”
I had no wine, but I went for it the sa him M Dandolo's letter
The consul was a Venetian of the old leaven He had heard hted to make my acquaintance He was a kind of cloithout the paint, fond of a joke, a regular gourreat experience He sold an to exclai, and how I had coreat usurer, and if you borrow money of hi the consul that I should not leave till the end of the month, I went hoave out my linen to the ot up
If Leah had exaht of her nificent breast, unprotected by any kerchief, had had a remarkable effect on me
I told her that I left it all to her, and that she could do what she liked with the linen
”Then it will all coo”
”You canas you like,” said I; but she see is quite right,” I continued, ”except the chocolate; I like it well frothed”
”Then I will ive out a double quantity, and ill take it together”
”I don't like chocolate”
”I aras?”
”Yes, I do; and fro to take sohted”
”I suppose you are afraid of being poisoned?”
”Not at all; I only e could die together”
