 But my friend , as you may easily imagine , is Nicolo who by @-@ the @-@ by , is my Italian master , and we are already very philosophical . I am his " <unk> " and his " <unk> " , and the Lord knows what besides . It is about two hours since , that , after informing me he was most desirous to follow him ( that is me ) over the world , he concluded by telling me it was proper for us not only to live , but " morire <unk> " [ die together ] . The latter I hope to avoid – as much of the former as he pleases .
