"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."
