Excerpt from The Intruder: A Novel But what had not happened in three years! Between Juliana and myself the breach was henceforth definitive and irreparable. I had gone on wronging her repeatedly, I had insulted her in the most outrageous manner without regard for her feelings, without restraint, carried away by an appetite greedy for pleasure, by the vertigo of my pas sions, by the curiosity of my corrupted mind. I had had as mistresses two of her intimate friends I had spent sev eral weeks at Florence with Teresa Raffo, shamelessly, I had fought with the false Count Ratio a duel in which my unfortunate adversary covered himself with ridicule owing to certain bizarre circumstances. And nothing of all this had remained unknown to Juliana, and she had suffered, but with much pride, and almost without saying anything.
