"O Cornelia," cried the young man, out of the fulness of his heart, "we must not waste this precious time asking why we love each other. Love each other we do as long as we view the sun. O carissima! we cannot trust ourselves to look too deeply into the whys and wherefores of things. We men and women are so ignorant! We know nothing. What is all our philosophy words!
Madame did mention to me an unaquitted debt in the South, and begged me to settle it for her. I am delighted to have the opportunity. Will you permit me to act as Madam's banker?" The dwarf at once grew suave and courteous. "The word of carissima signora is the word of God," said he.
Oh, do let go my hand!" "Remember, Valeria, bellissima, carissima, whatever happens, that I love you." But I don't think she heard this, and I went and sat on the onions, because I could see the hole better and the smell of them kept me awake. It was at least two hours after this that the faint light appeared at the hole in the wall and a hand was pushed through. I rushed at the finger-tips.
In the excess of his delight at this, he vowed that if there should be anything he could do to please her, he would set about it in a moment; she had but to give her wish a name. On this she very quietly said what she would like would be that her zio carissima should take her to the theatre outside the Porto del Popolo, to see Signor Formica.
"You are always very good to me, mamma," she answered; "you let me have my own way, and that is what I like best." "Let you have it, carissima! You take it. But I am quite satisfied." "After all, it saves you trouble," laughed Beatrice. Just then San Miniato came back and was greatly relieved to see that Beatrice's usual expression had returned, and to hear her careless, tuneful laughter.
"My Louis XVI snuff-box was worth at least that without the other things," said Georgie, still with a secret satisfaction in being the greatest sufferer. "And it was my hundred pounds, not yours, carissima," said Peppino. But it was clear that Lucia's words were working within him like leaven. "I'll go halves with you," she said. I'll give you a cheque for fifty pounds."
Beatrice rose and kissed her lightly on the forehead. "Good morning, mamma carissima," she said. "Are you very tired after the excursion?" "Exhausted, in mind and body, my angel. A cigarette, my dear it will give me an appetite." Beatrice brought her one, and held a match for her mother. Then the Marchesa shut her eyes, inhaled the smoke and blew out four or five puffs before speaking again.
He turned the handle of the door, but she had locked it and it held fast. He knocked once and called to her. Evidently he was not sure of her being within. There was another room on the same landing, and after a while he tried that. "Are you in there? Carissima, you are wasting time. To-day or to-morrow, sooner or later. Why not to-day, and soon?" A silence ensued.
"Say to Fraulein W. von Mölk that I rejoice at the thought of Salzburg, in the hope that I may again receive the same kind of present, for the minuets which was bestowed on me at a similar concert. She knows all about it." "Carissima Sorella, Spero che voi sarete stata dalla Signora, che voi gi
"Anyhow she said she hadn't got any calling cards, and I don't see why she should lie about it." "No, it is not the confession one would be likely to make," said she, "unless it was true.
