Had she heard of the most recent Etruscan excavations at Grosseto? Wonderful! A whole host of new clues! Boni Lanciani the whole learned world in commotion. A fragment of what might very possibly turn out to be a bi-lingual inscription was the last find. Were we at last on the brink of solving the old, the eternal enigma?
There is a great value for our souls in any place which tells us, by however slight indications, of a past of self-respect, activity and beauty; and I long for Tuscany. February 25. In the Forum this morning with Css. B. and the excavator Boni.
Our three courts of law the Queen's Bench, the Common Pleas, and the Exchequer for the sake of the fees extended an originally contracted sphere into the entire sphere of litigation. Boni judicis est ampliare jursdictionem, went the old saying; or, in English, "It is the mark of a good judge to augment the fees of his Court," his own income, and the income of his subordinates.

It was the ingratitude of his political friends, his "boni" and his "optimates," of Pompey as their head, which tried him the sorest; but he was always forgiving them, forgiving Pompey as the head of them, because he knew that, were he to be severed from them, then the political world must be closed to him altogether.

"He was satisfied to stay in his own dear home until the Day of the Kings was over, and then he went back to his command." The day dragged a little when we had finished in the kitchen with the giving of Christmas portions and the last of the farm-hands, calling back "Bòni fèsto!," had gone away.
