AbstractHistoryArchive Description
A doctor hears a dying Italian's confession. In his youth a soldier/priest fighting to win glory and the hand of the beautiful Giulietta, discovered that she had been forced to marry a dissolute nobleman. Years later in an Italian cathedral he hears a confession - and after giving absolution kills the penitent. The narrator's travels in Italy reveal what the dying priest's vows could not - the penitent was the dissolute nobleman and he had poisoned the beautiful Giulietta. Slight; little development. (PB)
