"Where did you see a St. Cecilia? There is too much breadth of brow here," continued Cornelia, with a curious glance at the young teacher. "Yes; I deviated from the original intentionally. I copied it from a collection of heads which Georgia Asbury brought from the North." "I have a number of choice paintings, which I selected in Europe. Any that you may fancy are at your service for models."

After these tokens of favour, which awakened the utmost surprise in those who were present, as the Emperor very rarely yielded to such impulses of generosity, the monarch's eyes sought Barbara's, and his glance seemed to say: "For your sake, love. Thus shall those who have deserved it from you be rewarded." Finally he accosted her, intentionally raising his voice as he did so.
