But the Ravenna admirers of the coming "Diva" neither saw nor suspected the slightest absurdity; and it is to be supposed that La Lalli knew all the importance of first impressions, and that she did not choose to show herself to her new worshippers for the first time under all the disadvantages of arriving tired and dusty from a long journey. The Arrival of the "Diva"
He looks a dozen years older than he did; and his habits are changed too." "Do you think that is it has just come into my head do you remember, Ludovico, what I said to you last night at the theatre about the way La Lalli sung her love verses at him?" "La Lalli again. Why, she has fascinated you at all events. You can think of nothing else. La Lalli and lo zio. Dio mio! If you only knew him.
"Thank God, I have found you." Mlle. de Marveau married the Comte de Cély. The Comtesse de Cély wanted an escape and became Madame Lalli. Madame Lalli wanted an escape and became Madame Marly for Paula was always Paula. And then she met Maurice and her youth. Twenty-five years of age and experience and disappointment fell from her. But to keep her great illusion she offered her big resistance....
The fact was, that Signor Ercole Stadione, the Ravenna impresario, had undertaken a journey to Milan, in the hope of accomplishing a negotiation in which the whole of the smaller provincial city had felt itself deeply interested. He had gone thither for the purpose of engaging the celebrated prima donna, Bianca Lalli, to sing at Ravenna during the coming Carnival.
"Certainly not, madam save as father and daughter might be attached one to another. Mr. Lalli was old enough to be the girl's grandfather; and Cynthia oh, she was quite a child!

And yet there was something in the sight of the love of Ludovico and Paolina that was bitter, odious, intolerable to her.
