Conversation sparkles with a delicate and subtle satire that plays gracefully with familiar facts; and instead of a compromising epigram an Italian has a glance or a smile of unutterable meaning.

Indeed, la Vulpato had said to Massimilla: "If you loved him you would not talk so well."
"My dear, love that poor Emilio," said the Signora Vulpato to Massimilla, as they met on the stairs in going out. "I do love him with all my might," replied the Duchess. "Then why does not he look happy?" Massimilla's reply was a little shrug of her shoulders.

Emilio, being introduced to the Duchess by the Signora Vulpato, waited very respectfully on the lady in her box all through the winter. Never was love more ardent in two souls, or more bashful in its advances.
