Casanova: Part 3 - Military Career
by Giacomo Casanova
This is a biographical book. After arriving in Bologna, I was careful to occupy my neighborhood in a small inn so as not to attract any messages to myself, and as soon as I sent my letters to Teresa and the French officer, I thought about getting some underwear, at least as it was doubtful whether I would be able to take my luggage. I also found it convenient to order some clothes. So, when I suddenly thought that I had no chance of succeeding in the Church, but felt very insecure about the profession I had to accept, I became interested in becoming a civil servant because it was clear that I should not be accountable to anyone for my actions.
