My father bought
the youngster...
1:24:03
...and took him home to rear him
with my sister and myself.
1:24:07
Forbear, friend!
1:24:09
Forbear, you tear my very soul!
1:24:12
Hook, line and sinker!
1:24:14
Did the young lad say
what was his name?
1:24:17
Teodoro.
1:24:19
Heavens! Truth...
1:24:21
...rings so true!
1:24:23
I only need hear you,
and tears water these grey hairs.
1:24:27
So this all too handsome youth
and my sister Serpalitonia...
1:24:32
...being brought up together...
1:24:34
...were bound by bonds of love
from infancy.
1:24:37
And when they were sixteen,
and father absent...
1:24:40
...their passion took its course
with the result...
1:24:43
...that the result for her
was growing obvious.
1:24:46
Alarmed, Teodoro
disappeared...
1:24:48
...leaving Serpalitonia
near her time.
1:24:51
Catiborratos, my father,
died of grief no less.
1:24:56
We called the pretty child
Terimaconio...
1:24:59
...and reared him
in the city of Tepecas.
1:25:03
So, when I came to see
the sights of Naples...
1:25:06
...consulting notes
I'd brought along...
1:25:08
...concerning Teodoro,
I made a few enquiries.
1:25:11
A Grecian slave-girl
at my lodging said...
1:25:13
..."Maybe that's
Count Ludovico's son".
1:25:18
That was my inspiration.
I decided I would see you.
1:25:22
But by mistake I went
into the house...
1:25:24
...of the Countess of Belflor,
and the first man I spoke to...
1:25:28
My heart's stopped beating.
1:25:30
...proved to be...
1:25:32
...Teodoro.
1:25:33
Teodoro!
1:25:34
He'd have run away,
but couldn't.
1:25:37
I wasn't sure. He has a beard
which makes a difference.
1:25:40
I followed him and then,
ashamed, he spoke...
1:25:43
...saying I mustn't tell
anyone who he was.
1:25:46
I said, "If you're the son of
someone noble here in Naples...
1:25:49
...why are you ashamed
of having been a slave?"
1:25:54
He said that was ridiculous.
1:25:57
But I came here to you, to see
if your tale tallied with mine...
