It may be true I don't say it is! of two or three good-natured playhouses in London. It isn't true how can it be? of the provincial theatres or of the others in the capital. Put it even that they would be all scenery if they could; they can't, poor things so they have to provide acting. Dorriforth. They have to, fortunately; but what do we hear of it? Florentia.
But where do you draw the line and fix the limit? What is the exact dose? Dorriforth. It's a question of taste and tact. Florentia. And did you find taste and tact in that coal-hole of the Théâtre Libre? Dorriforth. Coal-hole is again your joke.
I read a novel, I go to the theatre, to forget. Amicia. To forget what? Florentia. To forget life; to thro myself into something more beautiful more exciting: into fable and romance. Dorriforth. The attraction of fable and romance is that it's about us, about you and me or people whose power to suffer and to enjoy is the same as ours.
The people at dinners. Florentia. Oh. they don't say anything in particular. Dorriforth. Doesn't that seem to show the effort isn't very suggestive? Amicia. The conversation at dinners certainly isn't. Dorriforth. I mean our contemporary drama. To begin with, you can't find it there's no text. Florentia. No text? Auberon. So much the better! Dorriforth.
My acharnement is your little joke, and my contention is a little lesson in philosophy. Florentia. I prefer a lesson in taste. I had one the other night at the "Merry Wives." Dorriforth. If you come to that, so did I! Amicia. So she does spare an evening sometimes. Florentia.
But the iron arm of the regent fell with especial weight on the two regions which had offered a serious resistance up to the end and even after the battle at the Colline gate Etruria and Samnium. There a number of the most considerable communes, such as Florentia, Faesulae, Arretium, Volaterrae, were visited with total confiscation.
Then you didn't sit spellbound by the little history of the Due d'Enghien? Florentia. I sat yawning. Heavens, what a piece! Amicia. Upon my word I liked it. The last act made me cry. Dorriforth. Wasn't it a curious, interesting specimen of some of the things that are worth trying: an attempt to sail closer to the real? Auberon. How much closer? The fiftieth part of a point it isn't calculable.
Though Florentia saw nothing I saw many things in this poor little shabby "Due d'Enghien," coming over to our roaring London, where the dots have to be so big on the i's, with its barely audible note of originality. It appealed to me, touched me, offered me a poignant suggestion of the way things happen in life. Auberon. In life they happen clumsily, stupidly, meanly.
Florentia. You have an assurance
Therefore I think that, however derived, the name was always Florentia, and that whatever the origin might be, it occurred under the Roman empire, and began to be noticed by writers in the times of the first emperors.
