How far this time-honoured style of marriage was still maintained among the lower classes of Roman society it is impossible to tell; our information is almost entirely restricted to the higher, or at least the wealthier, orders.
Her mother was often afraid of her, and had not dared to tell her that the whole object of their visit was that she should see Guido and be seen by him.
