Scope and Contents Laporte fears that he will never see Perché again, not because he is hesitating in the resolutions he made, but because he fears the perfidy of those men who did so much against Perché and who are now probably once again speaking to him of their fidelity, veneration and devotion, as they did before he left for Rome.
