Scarli, who has befriended him. His
father discovers the guilty pair, and
FORCES Scarli's name TO a note. To save
the son from being disgraced by the
father Scarli insists upon paying the
note, but Fabrizio declines, and Scarli
calls his wife to decide the matter, and
in the confusion of the guilty pair
Scarli reads the truth. Scarli and his
wife are about 10 separate, the wife
going with her lover, when their child
is called on TO decide which parent she
will cling TO. She chooses the mother,
who. by an awful maternal sacrifice,
declines to receive her, and insists that

generous conduct melts Scarli's heart,
he forgives his wife, whose affection
for him returns, and all ends happily
