Ennius says that women of a /stata forma/ are almost always safe and modest. "For all that," said Blanche, half archly, half demurely, with a smile in the eye and a pout of the lip, "I don't remember that Pisistratus, in the days when he wished to be most complimentary, ever assured me that I had a /stata forma/, a rational, mediocre sort of beauty."
"Say to Fraulein W. von Mölk that I rejoice at the thought of Salzburg, in the hope that I may again receive the same kind of present, for the minuets which was bestowed on me at a similar concert. She knows all about it." "Carissima Sorella, Spero che voi sarete stata dalla Signora, che voi gi

Address your letters direct to us, for it is not the custom here, as in Germany, to carry the letters round; we are obliged to go ourselves to fetch them on post-days.

Spero che voi sarete stata dalla Signora, che voi gia sapete.
