Do you know whether the Madlethorpes mean to come up this year? I hardly know; their little girl is very ill. Ah! so I hear; what a pity, and such a fortune! Such a pity with such a fortune! How d'ye do? Mr. Coningsby here? No; he's at the House. They say he is a very close attendant. It interests him. Well, Lady Florentina, you never sent me the dances.

Pepita Troya looked cautiously down. "There she comes again," she whispered, once more imposing silence by a gesture. "Maria, give me a pebble. Give it here bang! there it goes!" "You didn't hit her. It struck the ground." "Let me see if I can. Let us wait until she comes out of the pantry again." "Now, now she is coming out. Take care, Florentina." "One, two, three! There it goes!"

His modest, fresh, and smiling countenance, appearing in this way, had an auroral aspect. "Good-afternoon, Senor Don Jose," he said gayly. "Jacinto, Jacinto, I say!" "I am coming. I was saluting a friend." "Come away, come away!" cried Florentina, in alarm. "The Penitentiary is going up to Don Nominative's room and he will give us a blessing."

Lord Hull was a bachelor, and had twenty thousand a year, and would not have been too old for Florentina, if Lord Hull had only lived in 'society, learnt how to dress and how to behave, and had avoided that peculiar coarseness of manners and complexion which seem the inevitable results of a provincial life.

Now let me see, orris root I believe is deducted from the Florentina Alba ."

The last great domestic embarrassment at Montacute had been the affair of the cooks. Lord Eskdale had taken this upon his own shoulders, and, writing to Daubuz, had sent down Leander and his friends to open the minds and charm the palates of the north. Lord Valentine and his noble parents, and their daughter, Lady Florentina, who was a great horsewoman, also arrived.

I wish we lived in Southern Italy, where thought is broken, not by weariness, but by delicious languors such as never seem to come over the `ingenia acerrima Florentina. I should like to see you under that southern sun, lying among the flowers, subdued into mere enjoyment, while I bent over you and touched the lute and sang to you some little unconscious strain that seemed all one with the light and the warmth.

Bracciolini might have said the same of himself. There is no getting at any insight as to his nature from the biographies of him; they are all such faint and imperfect sketches: we learn nothing of him from that curiosity of literature, L'Enfant's astonishing performance, "Poggiana" in which the pages and the blunders contend for supremacy in number, and the blunders get it, nor from that bald, cold business, entitled "Vita Poggii," which Recanati, flinging aside brilliancy and clinging fast to fidelity in facts and plainness of speech, prefixed to his edition of Bracciolini's "Historia Florentina," published at Venice in 1715, and which Muratori, sixteen years after, reprinted at Milan along with the said "History of Florence, in the 20th volume of his "Rerum Italicarum Scriptores;" nor from the Rev.
