With their white and dimpled hands they play with a fan as cleverly as any woman, and when we have tasted different native drinks, flavored with essences of flowers, they bring up as a finish a bottle of Benedictine or Chartreuse, for they appreciate the liqueurs composed by their Western colleagues.
"Chartreuse," she said, with the oddest imaginable accent. Julian ordered it hastily, and then immediately repeated his question. "Never mind," Cuckoo replied. "It don't matter." But he was not to be denied. "D'you mean Valentine?" he asked. She nodded her head slowly. Although Julian had half suspected that Valentine might be there this confirmation of his suspicion gave him a decided shock.
It took some time, though, even in a motor, to come to the brown; for our road was fairy-like as far as Holne, Charles Kingsley's birthplace. We got out there, of course, and looked at his memorial window in the charming village church. At Holne Bridge I thought of the beautiful way to the Grande Chartreuse; so you can imagine it was far from sterile, although we were on the fringe of the moor.
Sir Purcell murmured hurriedly in Emilia's ear, "Have you considered what you've been saying?" "Yes, yes. It is only a journey," Emilia replied, in a like tone. "A journey!" "My father wishes it."

He and I walked home together and talked of everything under the stars. I believe he is going to paint me. Next time you make your way to the Bella Napoli we might go together.
The rest of his life was spent in the easy discharge of his official duties at Civita Vecchia, alternating with periods of leave one of them lasted for three years spent in Paris among his friends, of whom the most distinguished was Prosper Mérimée. In 1839 appeared his last published work La Chartreuse de Parme; and three years later he died suddenly in Paris.
