VECINA. Vecinita, perdone usted que me entre así de rondón ... como la puerta estaba abierta ... y como somos uña y carne quería enseñar a usted cierta cosa ... ¡mas oiga! si tendré telarañas ... ¡su señoría la marquesa aquí! ¡Subir una marquesa ocho tramos de escalera! MARQUESA. ¿Quién es esta buena mujer? DOÑA MATILDE. Es una vecina que....
On the 23rd I went to repay the Duchess of Alcala her Excellency's visit, and to give her thanks for my noble entertainment; a part thereof being provided under the care of her Excellency. I likewise went to pay the visit to the Marquesa de Bayona.
Righton, Edward Hooton, Richard Russel, Andrew Daniel; Peacock, Dennis, Footmen; Thomas Gibson, Thomas Williams, Josias Brown, Caspar, el negro; Nathaniel Bennet; the Nurse, her Husband, two Maids, Nicholas Bennet, Henry Mitchell, and John Goods. On the 14th I took my leave of the Duchess de Medina de las Torres, the Marquesa de Trucifal, and the Condessa de Torres Vedras.
Amoena, Atalanta, Battlewings, Danceaway, Golden Eye, Lady Mar, Larissa, Marquesa, Mowerina, Modwena, Miss Middlewick, Shaker, Semolina, Staffa, Wheel of Fortune, Tact, Ulster Queen, and many besides. The Goddess of Fortune beamed on his Grace's colours whenever they appeared in the great races. The long series of victories resulted in immense winnings.
The porter refused him admittance, but after he had mentioned his name, kindly invited him into the porch, and told him that the baron and his wife were in the country with the Marquesa Romero. They were expected back on Tuesday, and would doubtless receive him then, for they had already asked about him several times.
Here at Dieppe were both this enigmatic Marquesa and the prime repository of all authentic scandal of our times.

Had the censorship and his literary parts permitted, he could have written a chronicle of famous ladies that would put the Sieur de Brantôme's modest attempt to shame.

Seventeen Venetian commanders were dead, and among them Vicenzo Quirini and the valiant, chivalrous, and venerable Proveditore Barbarigo. Sixty Knights of the diminished Order of St.

These consolations he refused and took his leave. Midnight found me in the same chair, thinking less of Anitchkoff, whose case now lay clear, than of Mantovani and the Marquesa del Puente, about whom it seemed there still might be something to say.
Occasionally he would volunteer the encouragement for I had long ago dropped the subject 'Cheer up, my boy; your turn will come. When he so Quixotically gave the picture to the Marquesa del Puente, it seemed, though, as if my turn could never come, but I noted that he had been true to his doctrine that the 'Zorzi' was only for the mature; the Del Puente was said to be some years his senior.
