The narrative unfolds with a sudden interruption during a quiet moment of study, as the protagonist, dressed in a black overall, is focused on Latin verbs. The tranquility is shattered by a loud cry and commotion outside the door, prompting an instinctive rush to investigate. Upon opening the door, the protagonist encounters a pale man-servant holding a roll of linen, suggesting an urgent and possibly alarming situation. This scene sets the stage for unfolding drama and tension.
