Curio had in the first months of his tribunate of the people played the independent republican, and had as such thundered both against Caesar and against Pompeius.
"What charming rooms," exclaimed Madam, trailing languidly from one to the other, touching a book here, some exquisite curio there, the carved ivory toilet articles on the dresser. The morning sunlight, tempered by the green and white awnings at the great bowed-windows filled the tastefully decorated rooms with a restful glow. They were beautiful rooms in every sense of the word.

After breakfast we had many visitors, and received letters from Sir Harry and Lady Parkes, inviting us to go up to Yeddo to-morrow for a long day, to settle our future plans. Having landed, we went with the Consul to the native town, to see the curio shops, which are a speciality of the place.
