The following morning,Marco made a trip to the florist, choosing to have a bouquet of white roses sent to Miss Wingfield, along with a note.
Miss Wingfield,
These white roses reminded me of the strings of pearls which were woven into your hair last night. The moment I saw them, I knew that I had to send them to you. Thank you for the dance. I very much enjoyed it and your delightful company. I intend to visit you again this afternoon as I would like the opportunity for us to get to know one another better.
Sincerely,
Marco Bianchi, Count D’Asti
