Part 14

I presume that the word should be "presented": the writing looks like "pented."

Footnote 35:

"What? A servant of the sovereign? There are porters."

Footnote 36:

I suppose that Pontelli was a person who had been more or less known to Dr. Polidori's father before the latter left Italy in 1787, and that the father had given his son some letter of introduction or the like. Or possibly the introduction came from some acquaintance in Geneva or in Milan.

Footnote 37:

The name of Santa Croce is not in the MS.: but it ought to be, as this is the church containing the sepulchral monuments of Galileo, etc.

Footnote 38:

"Was third amid so much intellect." The phrase is adapted from a line in Dante's _Inferno_.

Footnote 39:

Rather (it must be understood) to _Signora_ Vaccà.

Footnote 40:

Ruffiano does not correspond to our word "ruffian," but to "pimp" or "go-between."

Footnote 41:

No doubt this intention was not carried into effect.

Footnote 42:

These Polidoris were not (so far as I know) members of the same family as John Polidori.

Footnote 43:

This was Dr. Polidori's elder sister, Maria Margaret, who in my time was invariably called "Margaret" in the family.

Footnote 44:

"I leave the question to you."
