"The alliance sounds unnatural," he answered, carelessly, and looked as if he would be glad that the matter should end. But Vittoria would not have it so. "Well, now," she said, "when all Florence is luting and fluting for the queen of beauty, the king of beasts walks warden by her side." Still Dante showed no interest. "Who is this queen of beauty?" he asked, listlessly.
"It's only alpaca," she interjected, timidly. "Good heavens, Caroline!" cried Mrs. Warden, "pray don't think that I'm reproaching you. These things depend entirely upon one's individual point of view every one must follow the dictates of his own conscience." The conversation continued for some time, and Mrs.
