"Io vorrei che nella luna Ci s'andasse in carrettella Per vedere la piu bella Delle donne di la su!" What does the old song mean? Who knows whether it ever meant anything? "I wish one might drive in a little cart to the moon, to see the most beautiful of the women up there!"
A criticism to which the highly gifted lay themselves open from those who do not understand them, is their love of praise, the critics failing to grasp the fact that this passion for measuring one's self with others, like the gad-fly pursuing poor Io, never allows a moment's repose in the green pastures of success, but goads them constantly up the rocky sides of endeavor.
He made no comment, but went out and returned with the flowers. Meantime Io had made up her mind. "I've had an unpleasant surprise, Ban." "I was afraid so." She glanced up quickly. "Did you see him?" "No. Mindle, the mail transfer man, did." "Oh! Well, that was Aleck Babson. 'Babbling Babson, he's called at the clubs. He's the most inveterate gossip in New York."
"I wish I, hadn't said that," she cried impulsively. "I hate Cousin Mabel. I always have hated her. She's a cat. And I think the way she, acted in in the the well, about Judge Enderby and ". "Please!" Miss Van Arsdale's tone was peremptory. "Here is my place." She indicated a clearing with a little nest of a camp in it. "Shall I go back?" asked Io remorsefully. "No."
I made snug for the night with a wet waterproof and a strip of muslin, to be fastened round the mouth after the fashion of Outram's "fever guard," and shut my lips to save my life, by the particular advice of Dr. Catlin. The first mosquito piped his "Io Paean" at 8 P.M.; another hour brought legions, and then began the battle for our blood.
"How's that?" The appeal comes from every part of the ground. And then, clearly and unmistakably, the umpire's fiat is spoken "Out!" The Rev. Sep rises and rushes off, upsetting chairs, treading on toes, bent only upon being the first to tell Warde that Harrow has won. "Io! Io! Io!" The blue of the Harrow colours. Lamper, i.e. Lamp-post.
It's more it's more of a pattern with all the rest; better than stupidly waving good-bye from the rear of a train." "But the danger." "Che sará, sará," returned Io lightly. "I'll trust him to take care of me." While Ban went out to prepare the horses with the aid of Pedro, strictly enjoined to secrecy, the two women got Io's few things together.
Ban and Io walked down the long platform in a thoughtful silence which disconcerted neither of them. Io led the way out of it. "At half-past four," she stated, "I had a glass of milk and one cracker." "Where do you want to breakfast?" "Thanking you humbly, sir, for your kind invitation, the nearer the better. Why not here?" They found a table in the well-appointed railroad restaurant and ordered.
This gentleman, who before he went gave us his card, immediately opened up conversation both with us and with our neighbours, addressing his remarks alternately and impartially to each. He said he was an Italian who had the profoundest admiration for England. I said at once "Lei non puo amare l'Inghilterra piu che io amo ed ammiro l'Italia."
"Ten generations ago I spoke of you to Io, who was afterwards the queen of the land of the Nile." "And Io," said Hercules, "was the mother of the race from which I am sprung." In those very early times there was a man named Deucalion, and he was the son of Prometheus.
