It was new; it was glossy; it had beautiful, carefully brushed cushions; it was drawn by a pair of splendid looking horses. "Is not bellissima, signore?" asked the man, proudly. "All right," announced Uncle John, nodding approval. "Be ready to start at nine o'clock to-morrow morning."
"My life is not worth a hundred scudi to any of them," I replied, laughing; "but I am willing to forego the pleasure of drawing you now, bellissima, if you will tell me where you live, and let me come and paint you there at my leisure."
