In Feb., 1891, Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca was confirmed as President, resigned in November, and was succeeded by Vice-President Floriano Peixoto, who held office until Nov. 15, 1894, when Prudente de Moraes, the first Brazilian President elected by a popular vote, was inaugurated. OHILI, PERU, BOLIVIA. The contest of Chili with Peru and Bolivia has attracted special notice.
There were two Masses, one at eight o'clock, one at ten and the church was quite a mile from Villa Floriano, and up a hill; and the Italian sun was hot but the devoted young man went to both. The Duchessa was at neither. "What does she think will become of her immortal soul?" he asked Marietta. On Monday he went to the pink-stuccoed village post-office.
"Emilia," she said, "I wish you would translate the I Jongleur de Notre Dame' into Italian." Peter, we may suppose, returned to Villa Floriano that afternoon in a state of some excitement. "He ought to have told her " "It was her right to be told " "What could her rank matter " "A gentleman can offer his hand to any woman " "She would have despised the conventional barriers "
"Ah, well," she consented, "then I 'll join in your hope that the fine weather may last. I I trust," she was so good as to add, "that you're not entirely uncomfortable at Villa Floriano?" "I dare n't allow myself to speak of Villa Floriano," he replied. "I should become dithyrambic. It's too adorable." "It has a pretty garden, and I remember you admired the view," the Duchessa said.
Naturally, the blame for this fell upon Fonseca, and added itself to the autocratic methods of his government to render him unpopular. Fonseca was succeeded by the Vice-President, according to the regulations of the Constitution. This was Floriano Peixoto, who at first gave promise of a liberal and progressive government.
What's-this-his-name-is, as you call him, and I are the barest acquaintances. He's our temporary neighbour the tenant for the season of Villa Floriano the house you can catch a glimpse of, below there, through the trees, on the other side of the river." "Is he, now, really? And that's very interesting too. But I wasn't denying it." Mrs. O'Donovan Florence smiled, with derisive sweetness.
"Quite sure, my dear. I've just been through the list of Italian counts, and his name is not there. Floriano, the proprietor, who knows every aristocrat in Italy, has never before heard of him." "How singular!" exclaimed Louise. "I wonder why he has tried to deceive us." "Oh, the world is full of impostors; but when you are on to their game they are quite harmless.
The name of Ferralti was no place in the record. "Then there is no such count, Signor Floriano." "And no such noble family, Signor Merrick." Uncle John whistled softly and walked away to the window. The young man greeted him with a smile and a bow. "I misunderstood your name last evening," he said. "I thought you were Count Ferralti." "And that is right, sir," was the prompt reply.
"All our guests are gone but two two mad Americans like yourselves. The servants are also gone; the chef has gone; the elevator conductors are gone. If you stay you'll have to walk up." "Where have they all gone?" asked Uncle John, wonderingly. "Fled, sir; fled to escape destruction. They remember Pompeii. Only Signor Floriano, the proprietor, and myself are left. We stick to the last.
But when they reached Villa Floriano, Peter was not at home. "He has gone to Spiaggia for the day," Emilia informed them. Beatrice, the Cardinal fancied, looked at once relieved and disappointed. Marietta was seated in the sun, in a sheltered corner of the garden. While Beatrice talked with her, the Cardinal walked about.
