tenth day - novel V
madonna Dianora craves of messer ansaldo a garden that shall be as fair
in January as in may messer ansaldo binds himself to a necromancer,
and thereby gives her the garden. Her husband gives her leave to do
messer ansaldo's pleasure: he, being apprised of her husband's liberality,
releases her from her promise; and the necromancer releases messer
ansaldo from his bond, and will take nought of his.
