Oh, umm, thank you. I do have a soft spot for Taddeo's plight; he's in a rather unenviable position, isn't he. I figured it was about time for him to pay Cesare back, but then he'll be loyal to the grave, and thus he's bound as well... I wish there were more about the historical Volpe; more than the few by-lines I could find.

Outside looking in, is that so? Mh, you used Orsini as a lens before, true. I wonder, though, Perhaps you just don't write enough Cantarella. Heh. but I don't blame you. It's a thankless, thankless task.
