"Well, prince, so Genoa and Lucca
are now just family estates of
theBuonapartes. But I warn you, if you
don't tell me that this means war,if you
still try to defend the infamies and
horrors perpetrated by thatAntichrist --- I
really believe he is Antichrist --- I will
have nothingmore to do with you and
you are no longer my friend, no longer
my'faithful slave,' as you call yourself!
but how do you do? I see Ihave
frightened you --- sit down and tell me all the news."
