Eh bien ! le crime de Fabrice est étranger à la politique, c’est un petit assassinat comme on en compte cent par an dans ses heureux Etats, et le comte m’a juré qu’il a fait prendre les renseignements les plus exacts, et que Fabrice est innocent.
Well, Fabrizio's crime has nothing to do with politics, it is a trifling homicide, just like a hundred others that are reported every day in his happy States, and the Conte has sworn to me that he has taken pains to procure the most accurate information, and that Fabrizio is innocent.
