Being arrived there long before his limitted time, he called the Merchants together, who were present at the passed words and wager; avouching before _Bernardo_, that he had won his five thousand Duckets, and performed the taske he undertooke. To make good his protestation, first he described the forme of the Chamber, the curious pictures hanging about it, in what manner the bed stood, and every circumstance elsee beside. Next he shewed the severall things, which he brought away thence with him, affirming that he had received them of her selfe. _Bernardo_ confessed, that his description of the Chamber was true, and acknowledged moreover, that these other things did belong to his Wife: But (quoth he) this may be gotten, by corrupting some servant of mine, both for intelligence of the Chamber, as also of the Ring, Purse, and what elsee is beside; all which suffice not to win the wager, without some other more apparant and pregnant token. In troth, answered _Ambroginolo_, me thinks these should serve for sufficient proofes; but seeing thou art so desirous to know more: I plainely tell thee, that faire _Genevra_ thy Wife, hath a small round wart upon her left pappe, and some few little golden haires growing thereon. When Bernardo heard these words, they were as so many stabs to his heart, yea, beyond all compasse of patient sufferance, and by the changing of his colour, it was noted manifestly, (being unable to utter one word) that _Ambroginolo_ had spoken nothing but the truth. Within a while after, he saide; Gentlemen, that which _Ambroginolo_ hath saide, is very true, wherefore let him come when he will, and he shall be paide; which accordingly he performed on the very next day, even to the utmost penny, departing then from _Paris_ towards _Geneway_, with a most malicious intention to his Wife: Being come neere to the City, he would not enter it, but rode to a Countrey house of his, standing about tenne miles distant thence. Being there arrived, he called a servant, in whom hee reposed especiall trust, sending him to _Geneway_ with two Horses, writing to his Wife, that he was returned, and shee should come thither to see him. But secretly he charged his servant, that so soone as he had brought her to a convenient place, he should there kill her, without any pitty or compassion, and then returne to him againe.
