"Yes, Mademoiselle, and it lacks no perfection that you could imagine, not even that smile of happy youth which was a falsehood ere the paint had yet dried on the canvas. Here, before this relic, which recalls it to my thoughts, I must confess that I am touched." She looked at me in astonishment. "Where is the portrait? Not here?" "No, it is at Paris, in my friend Lampron's studio." "O oh!"

"Excuse me," I said as I moved it and we left the studio for Madame Lampron's little sitting-room. She was seated near a small round table, knitting socks, her feet on a hot-water bottle.

When I got Lampron's letter, at ten in the morning, I went at once to see the landlord of the Albergo dell' Agnello. "You can get me a carriage for Desio, can't you?"

Monza, sir, is one of our richest jewels; you will see there "
