Le soir, à la chute du jour, Fabrice entra dans Ferrare monté sur un petit cheval ; il avait bon besoin de ce secours, la chaleur l’avait frappé sur le fleuve ; le coup de couteau qu’il avait à la cuisse et le coup d’épée que Giletti lui avait donné dans l’épaule, au commencement du combat, s’étaient enflammés et lui donnaient de la fièvre.
That evening, as the light began to fail, Fabrizio entered Ferrara riding upon a pony; he had every need of this support, for he had been touched by the sun on the river; the knife-wound that he had in his thigh, and the sword-thrust that Giletti had given him in the shoulder, at the beginning of their duel, were inflamed and had brought on a fever.
