Clementina

The landlord the lady and Mr. Charles Wogan were all three it seemed in luck's way that September morning of the year 1719. Wogan was not surprised his luck for the moment was altogether in so that even when his horse stumbled and went lame at a desolate part of the road from Florence to Bologna he had no doubt but that somehow fortune would serve him. His horse stepped gingerly on for a few yards stopped and looked round at his master. Wogan and his horse were on the best of terms. Is it so bad as that? said he and dismounting he gently felt the strained leg. Then he took the bridle in his hand and walked forward whistling as he walked.
