"That's certain, my dear," retorted Celia impetuously. "At first people were in doubt, and talked of little Pontecorvo and Lieutenant Moretta. But every one now knows that La Tonietta's caprice is Dario. Besides, he joined her in her box at the Costanzi the other evening." Pierre remembered that the young Prince had pointed out La Tonietta at the Pincio one afternoon.
The daily crowds before the poet's hotel were composed chiefly of youths, at school or college, others in working dress. The noisiest, most inflammable of all these mobs was that in the Costanzi Theater the evening of D'Annunzio's appearance there. They were citizens and their wives who could afford to pay the not inconsiderable price charged and seats were at a premium.
We have taken apartments, as I presume Albert wrote you, on the Via San Nicolo da Tolentino, quite near the Costanzi hotel, which is in the height of the fashion as a hotel; near too, which is better, to Mr. Story's studio and the old Barberini palace and the Barberini square and fountains.
The villa she lives in is his property, and he has requested her to vacate it. The other aggrieved one, General Costanzi, she fears may succeed in preventing the publication of her next novel by threat of a libel suit." "Well, that sounds bad. But what do they say she's done?" "The poor woman doesn't even know what she is supposed to have said; insulted them is all she can gather.
I am so glad I studied Italian as hard as I did for my music, for it comes very easily to me now, and already I slip the pretty words from my halting tongue much more smoothly and quickly than you would imagine I could. Mrs. Jerrold isn't quite satisfied, and would prefer the Costanzi, only she doesn't believe in letting us girls stay at large hotels.
I told him it was all legal, and that he could not touch you at all. I also said you were staying at the Hotel Costanzi, where he might find you if he wished." "Oh! Did you tell him that?" asked Hedwig. "It was quite right," said Nino. "He ought to know, of course. And what else did you tell him?" "Nothing especial, Nino mio.
Norman and Eric left for the Costanzi, and Albert and Edith, armed with books, and note-books, and the small camp-stools, again started away together. This last 'again' was getting to be accepted quite as a matter of course. Everybody knew what it meant. They always invited the rest of the company to go with them, and were especially urgent, this morning, that Mae should accompany them.
Certain it is that the arms of the Costanzi appear in the picture, but the evidence which connects the commission with the death of Matteo seems to rest mainly on his alleged likeness to the S. Liberale in the picture, a theory, we may remark, which is quite consistent with Matteo being still alive.
But perhaps he slept a little too, for I did, and I cannot answer for his wakefulness through every minute of the night. Once I asked him what he intended to do in Rome. "We will go to the hotel Costanzi," he answered, which is a foreigners' resort. And if she is rested enough we will come down to you, and see what we can do about being married properly in church by the old curato."
I shouldn't have known how to take such an offer. No, no, trot off and array yourself, and you may come back and say good-bye." "I must say good-bye now, dear, for I dine at the Costanzi with the girls and their aunt." "Now, just now, Eric?" "Why yes, Mae. You are getting blue again, aren't you? Getting ready for Ash Wednesday to-morrow?" "Oh, no, no, dear. Kiss me, Eric, again.
