And the word of Baines and of them that were with him went forth that the Jubilee should be kept by a conversazione at the South Kensington Museum on Wednesday the second day of the month July in the year 1890. And Victoria the Queen became a patron of the Jubilee Celebration; and her heart was stirred within her; for she said, For three whole years have I not had a Jubilee.
"And the engraving will be fourteen shillings." "Well, that will only be a first expense. Conversazione, in old English, of course." "And here, my love, are the ribbons for the maid's caps and sashes; I bought them at Waterloo House, very cheap, and a very pretty candle-light colour." "Did you speak to them about their gowns?"
After Albert had collected all the information that could be obtained, his persuasion of Laniska's innocence was confirmed. On Tuesday Frederick had promised to come to the countess's conversazione. The company, previous to his majesty's arrival, were all assembled round the sofa, on which she was seated, and they were eagerly talking over Laniska's affair.
Turning now to Venice for our last examples, we find that the love of natural scenery was remarkably strong in this city of water and sky, where the very absence of verdure may have created a homesick longing for the green fields. It was Venetian art which originated that form of pastoral Madonna known as the Santa Conversazione.
But though she laughed, she triumphed, and though she flattered herself that she bore her honours without any outward sign, the world knew that she was triumphing, and ridiculed her elation. About this time she also gave a party not a pure-minded conversazione like Mrs.

"It's a little of both," said Miss Todd, not sotto voce. "Oh, very well; now I understand," said Miss Ruff; and then she resumed her work and went on with her calculations.
However, whether Newton was satisfied or not, this conversazione was a finisher to Dr Feasible, who resigned the contest. Dr Plausible not only carried away the palm but, what was still worse, he carried off the "practice!" "Their only labour is to kill the time; And labour dire it is, and weary woe.
But if Folkestone repudiates municipal enterprise in the matter of lighting, I gather it does not do so in the matter of telephones; and there has been talk of a neat little Folkestone telephonic system competing against the National Telephone Company, a compact little conversazione of perhaps a hundred people, rate sustained. And how is the non-local inhabitant to come into these things?
A conversazione has, therefore, a great advantage over the latter, as far as the pocket is concerned, it being much cheaper to procure food for the mind than food for the body. It would appear that tea has been as completely established the beverage of modern scientific men, as nectar was formerly that of the gods.
