The waterfall of Lake Romano was still some little distance off, and, as the wind was blowing toward it, only a faint roar of the falling water came to the ears of the Bobbsey twins, and the others on the houseboat. "Oh, papa!" exclaimed Nan. "May we go close up and see the cataract?" "Yes," said Mr. Bobbsey. "I intended to give you a good view of the waterfall.

The dug-outs were improved and made watertight and the Officers' Mess and sleeping huts were moved up from the river bank into the Battery position itself. Everything was very comfortable and handy. We maintained close relations with an Italian Battery next door commanded by a certain Captain Romano.

"A stupendous portrait by Velazquez." "I warn you that I know nothing about pictures." "Nobody does," Cortes declared roundly. "Everybody says what he thinks." "Is the gallery near here?" "Yes, just a step." In company with Cortes and the German with the green hat with the cock's feather, Caesar went to the Piazza del Collegio Romano, where the Doria palace is.

Federico, the Duke, made him ambassador to Rome in 1528; and Baldassare did his master two signal services there, he procured him to be named head of all the Papal forces, and he found him Giulio Romano.

Thus, while, in a way, he represented and, as it were, gave voice to the Rome of Augustus, he did so in a transcendental manner; the Rome which he represents, whether as city or empire, being less a fact than an idea, and already strongly tinged with that mysticism which we regard as essentially mediaeval, and which culminated later without any violent breach of continuity in the conception of a spiritual Rome which was a kingdom of God on earth, and of which the Empire and the Papacy were only two imperfect and mutually complementary phases; quella Roma onde Cristo e Romano, as it was expressed by Dante with his characteristic width and precision.

Giulio Romano and his school of followers were the mode in France, not only in drawing, but in the revival of classic subject. This condition in the art world found expression in a set of tapestries from the factory of La Trinité that are sufficiently celebrated to be set down in the memory with an underscoring.

"No, but I don't want to go out on Lake Romano in a storm, and I intended this evening to go on up the creek until we reached the lake. But I'll wait and see what the weather does." "Well, did anything happen while we were gone?" asked Mrs. Bobbsey of Captain White, as they got back to the houseboat. "No, not a thing," he answered.

These words seemed to revive all Don Vigilio's anxious passion. He waved his trembling hand, and replied: "He? Oh, he's too clever, too skilful by far to have taken the robe. But he comes from that Collegio Romano where his generation grew up, and he there imbibed that Jesuit genius which adapted itself so well to his own.

From the description of Columbus, the vessels must have entered between the islands of Baril and Pacedon, and, sailing along Cayo Romano on a S.E. course, have reached in another day their old cruising ground in the neighborhood of lesser Guajava.
