Fabrice fut bien agréablement surpris quand, après cent trente-cinq jours de prison dans une cage assez étroite, le bon aumônier don Cesare vint le chercher un jeudi pour le faire promener sur le donjon de la tour Farnèse : Fabrice n’y eut pas été dix minutes que, surpris par le grand air, il se trouva mal.
Fabrizio was very agreeably surprised when, after one hundred and thirty-five days of confinement in a distinctly narrow cell, the good chaplain Don Cesare came to him one Thursday to take him for an airing on the dungeon of the Torre Farnese: he had not been there ten minutes before, unaccustomed to the fresh air, he began to feel faint.
