Remarkably gifted, she had the deep humility of many of the best Italian women; "What have I done, O Camille," she asks, "to meet a soul like yours!... To have known you for an instant fills a long existence; how can you love me, weak as I am?"
How convenient would a little of the phlegm of this region be upon such occasions as these! I fear very much for our dear petite. I tell every one who asks me that both she and you are well, because I abhor the cold, uninterested inquiries, which I know would be made if I should answer otherwise. Do you want the pity of such? Those you thought your very good friends here have forgotten you.
"Am I unwell to-day, mother?" asks a child with all his faith and confidence at the highest point. The infant of literature "wails" and wails feebly, with the invariability of a thing unproved and taken for granted.

If Sir John Corbett asks for a subscription he gets it.
She pauses, and then says very softly, "Darling Margaret! Do you know, I believe she is the only friend I have in the world?" Her words cut him to the heart. "And I, Tita, do I not count?" asks he. "You! No!" She gives him a little shake, taking his arms, as she kneels beside him. "You represent Society, don't you? And Society forbids all that. No man's wife is his friend nowadays."
