Now this would be the very composition to hand round to the Geographical Society. It is not christened geography without a reason; the vinegar and water representing the green sea, and the pieces of biscuit floating in it, the continents and islands which are washed by it. Now, my lord, do not you thank me for my communication? But we must return to the conversazione of Doctor and Mrs Feasible.
"A conversazione, my love! why, is not that a very expensive affair?" "Why, not very. But if it brings me practice, it will be money well laid out." "Yes, my love, if it does, and if we had the money to lay out." "Something must be done. I have hardly a patient left. I have an idea that it will succeed. Go, my dear, and make up this prescription, and let the boy take it to Mrs Bluestone's.
This is especially true of Palma, and to understand aright his Santa Conversazione, we must read into it the harmony of colors which it expresses, the chords of blue, red, brown, and green, the shimmering lights and brilliant atmosphere.
I went on to say that though I could not promise a Prime Minister once a week, I would undertake to get one of his colleagues or else some distinguished general or admiral whose conversation about the war would be worth hearing, to ornament my Conversazione.
"I really do not see, my dear, why we should not give a conversazione as well as Dr Feasible?" "I was just thinking that we could give them much better; our acquaintance now is very numerous."

The lady is one of the most intelligent and best-bred persons I have known in any country. We assisted at her conversazione, which was numerous. She pressed us to pass the winter at Genoa; and indeed I was almost persuaded: but I had attachments at Nice, from which I could not easily disengage myself.
Besides these amusements, there is a public conversazione every evening at the commandant's house called the Government, where those noble personages play at cards for farthings. In carnival time, there is also, at this same government, a ball twice or thrice a week, carried on by subscription.
Give me joy I have accomplished my purpose, and without Lady Jane Granville's assistance obtained a permit to go with Lady Trant, and made her take me to Lady Angelica's last night. Grand conversazione! Saw the German baron! Caught both the profiles have 'em here defy you not to smile.
Tallboys, I did not expect to have it swamped by a pack of children, and noisy nonsensical games, nor that both she and I should be insulted by practical jokes and a personal charade." "A party to meet Mrs. Tallboys?" "A ladies' party, a conversazione." "What by my mother's wish?" "I was given to understand that I had carte blanche in visiting matters." "You did not ask her consent?"
His name was Doctor Feasible. His practice was not extensive, and he was incumbered with a wife and large family. He also very naturally wished to extend his practice and his reputation; and, after many fruitless attempts, he at last hit upon a scheme which he thought promised to be successful. "My dear," said he, one morning to his wife, "I am thinking of getting up a conversazione."
