The brother had been led to his resolution (so he told me) by consideration of the unusual character of the malady of the deceased, of certain obtrusive and eager inquiries on the part of her medical men, and of the remote and exposed situation of the burial-ground of the family.
Come fratello, – mi diceva, – egli avea preso quella risoluzione in considerazione del carattere insolito della malattia della defunta, d'una certa curiosità importuna e indiscreta da parte degli uomini di scienza, e della situazione remota ed assai esposta della tomba di famiglia.
