Excerpt from Paris Tel qu'Il Est
Le jeune époux résistait, non qu'il voulût contrarier en rien sa jeune femme, mais tout simplement parce que les médecins de Naples n'avaient pas sa confiance.
Il avait été jadis assez gravement indisposé dans la ville de Masaniello, et il s'en souvenait. Néanmoins, voyant que l'envie de sa moitié était invincible, il parvint à décider son médecin à faire le voyage, quand le moment serait venu.
De Londres à Naples, il y a loin. Un médecin anglais appartient à ses malades; mais le désir d'obliger et les offres généreuses du mari décidèrent le praticien à consentir.
Les époux partent, la jeune femme est dans la joie, et son mari est bien vite convaincu qu'elle avait raison, que l'air du golfe lui est fort salutaire.
Si salutaire même, qu'un beau soir un petit Anglais superbe arrive huit jours avant d'être attendu.
