And to meet in this accidental way, in this queer place!" "We generally live abroad," said Mrs. Bowring. "Generally in Florence. Do you know Florence?" "Oh yes!" cried the fat lady enthusiastically. "I dote on Florence.
O, how in my young days I did dote on the candy pulling and the kissing bee. To my young and unsophisticated mind they were divine institutions; and, even now, after the lapse of so many years when the "heydey in the blood is tame," how I look back upon those few days with unalloyed pleasure.
I dote on you." "Your mother should box your ears, mademoiselle." "It would do me no good, madame." "I should like to try it," said tante-gra'mère, without humor.

So much have politics and so little has religion to do now, as in all ages, with the motives that govern the Holy See.
