The bread and cheese was the Count, and one gathered from it that the improvement in his immediate prospects was not yet assured, that the arrangimento was still in futuro. We had become such a large party, that it is impossible to relate the whole of our experiences even in the half hour during which we dawdled round the Strasbourg waiting-room until the train should start.

And if it is a good arrangimento it is always quite quite happy." "We are said," I observed thoughtfully, "to be able, as a people, to accommodate ourselves to circumstances." "You approve this idea! Signorina, you are so amiable, it is heavenly." "I see no objection to it," I said. "It is entirely a matter of taste." "And the American ladies have much taste," observed Count Filgiatti blandly.

When I considered the number of engagements upon my hands already, it made me quite faint to contemplate even an arrangimento in addition to them. We told the Malts where we had been and they told us where they had been as well as we could across the table without seeming too confidential, and after dinner Emmeline led the way to the enclosed verandah which commanded the Falls.

When I saw you in the railway I said, 'It is my vision! At once I desired to embrace the papa. And he was not cold with me he told me of the soda. I had courage, I had hope. At first when I see you to-day I am a little derange. In the Italian way I speak first with the papa. Then came a little thought in my heart no, it is propitious! In America the daughter maka always her own arrangimento.

"I'm afraid it isn't infallible," I said, "but it is charming to hear it approved." "The American lady comes in Italy. She is young, beautiful, with a grace ah!

"I have read of such things before," I said, "in the newspapers. It is most amusing to hear them corroborated on the spot. But that is one of the charms of travel, Count Filgiatti."

But if with you I travel, make arrangimento, you und'stan', look for traina 'otel, biglietto, bagaglia then I am so little you laugh. Two 'undred franc the month!" and Alessandro indicated with every muscle of his body the amazement he expected us to feel. The Senator turned to the ladies of his family. "Now that I think of it," he said, "travels in Italy are never written without a courier.

"Then of course," I said, "you won't marry for money." I'm afraid this was a little unkind, but I was quite sure the Count would perceive no irony, and said it for my own amusement. "Jamais! In Italy you will find that never! The Italian gives always the heart before before " "The arrangimento," I suggested softly. "Indeed, yes. There is also the seat of the family."
