Liloa said to the woman: "If you bring into the world a man-child, it shall belong to me; if a girl, it shall be yours. Conceal these things from all eyes; they will one day be a souvenir of our relation, a proof of the paternity of the child who shall be born from our loves."

Corot, the Theocritus of modern painting, is represented by 138, the lovely and poetical Morning, 141, Souvenir de Mortefontaine and 141 bis, Castelgandolfo.
It is as a souvenir of him that I regard and value it. I would not lose it for a hundred dollars, nay, five hundred." "If you value it so much, sir, suppose we turn round and go back for it."
