"What clock, ma belle?" Eliza picked up an egg, and bent so fiery a glance on the intruder that he dodged out of sight for a second. "Listen, carissima," he pleaded, peering round the jamb of the door again. "If the alarm found its way upstairs I must have been walking in my sleep. While you were dreaming of suffragettes I may have been dreaming of you."
"Vale, carissima, carissima puella!" repeated Rebecca in her musical voice. "Oh, how beautiful it sounds! I don't wonder it altered your feeling for Abijah!
Carissima mia " she heard his voice as though from afar, as he fell back against the pillow "I love you! Even a portion of how much I love you would fill a life!" He took her hand as she stood beside him, and pressed it to his lips. She felt how thin his hand was, and how it trembled. Her conscience smote her it was all because of her!
"Well, then ?" questioned Beatrice. "Well, then, Carissima, why do you not take the affair in hand yourself?" "But that is just the difficulty. What can I what can a mere woman do in such a case?" The Cardinal looked into his amethyst, as a crystal-gazer into his crystal; and the lines about his humorous old mouth deepened and quivered.

You can't have all the world alike yet." "But why do you lay eggs?" Melissa insisted. "You lay 'em like a Queen only you drop them in patches all over the place. I've watched you."
"Well, carissima, it is settled. It's off for a year." "The reception? Why so?" "Your father cannot arrange it. He has too much on hand this season, and may be away." "There, McDonald, we've got a reprieve," and Evelyn gave a sigh of relief. The Scotch woman smiled, and only said, "Then I shall have time to finish this."
"Now, I will not hear a word about art," said Marianne, when the servants had brought in the breakfast. "I am the physician, both of body and mind, and condemn you to a silence of fifteen minutes. Then you may talk." "Of my opera, carissima?" "Heaven forbid! of the wind and weather nothing else. Now hush, and drink your chocolate."
I suppose, Marchesa carissima, that Donna Beatrice may come with me in the skiff, under your eye, if she is accompanied by your maid?" "Of course, my dear San Miniato! Do you expect me to get into your little boat and hunt for reptiles? Or do you expect that Beatrice will renounce the amusement of getting wet and covered with seaweed and thoroughly unpresentable?" "And you, Donna Beatrice?
