Count Guido is led in from the torture, a mass of mock-patient suffering: Wincing as he speaks, but quite in spite of himself-grateful that his pains are not worse-begging his judges not to be too much concerned about him; "since, thanks to his age and shaken health, a fainting fit soon came to his relief-indeed, torture itself is a kind of relief from the moral agonies he has undergone."
