would. The English ladies trusted his white hairs. Or the English
ladies did not care for the /convenances/. Since he had found Peppina

sensuality, vanity, the passion for conquest, and the determination to
hold his own against other males and to shine in his world's esteem,
was augmented by the abstinence from his usual life. The few days in
the house seemed to him a lifetime already wasted. He meant to make up
for it, and he did not care at whose expense, so long as some of the
debt was paid by Emilio.
