shown so much i'll feeling and aggressive
dislike for him. He intended TO serve in
the Austrian army. but their dislike made

Philippe Folchi had obtained n divorce. so
that the count was now free to marry
his daughter, had any effect upon Don
Carlos. he had buried his daughter and
would not have her resurrected.
