福尔图纳托再三加害于我,对此,我从来都是一忍再忍,可是一旦他敢侮辱我,我誓必报仇雪恨。

也许,你已摸透了我的脾气,然而,说不定我真的说到做到,总有我报仇之日。

这一点,我从未怀疑过。

既然下定决心这样做,就排除了冒风险的想法。

我不仅要让他尝尝我的厉害,还要干得不留后患。

若是报了仇,自己也遭到了惩罚,那仇就未报;同样,仇人不知谁来复的仇,仇也未报。

不用说,福尔图纳托从来没有怀疑过我的言行举止中所隐藏的复仇动机。

我依旧对他笑脸相迎,可他没看出我笑里藏刀呢!

在某些方面,福尔图纳托确实值得尊敬,甚至令人敬畏。

但他有个弱点,他自称是品酒老手。

没有几个意大利人是真正的行家,他们大多用自己的热诚、随机应变、见风使舵,让英国和奥地利的大财主上当。

说起古画和珠宝,福尔图纳托与自己的同乡一样,只会骗人,但是要谈起陈酒佳酿,他还真是个行家。

这一点,我们俩没有本质区别——说起意大利葡萄酒,我还算是行家,只要可能,我就尽量多买。
