"Oh, the Magnifique," Mellin answered carelessly. "I suppose everybody that one knows stops there. One does stop there, when one is in Rome, doesn't one?" "Everybody go' there for tea, and to eat, sometime, but to stay ah, that is for the American!" she laughed. "That is for you who are all so abomin-ab-ly rich!" She smiled to the Italian again, and both of them smiled beamingly on Mellin.

Don't ask me what it is, but within one year you shall see it for yourself, and you shall acknowledge Monsieur Mangin knows something of human nature. My idea is magnifique, but it is one grand secret." I confess my curiosity was somewhat excited, and I hoped that Monsieur Mangin would "add another wrinkle to my horns."

It seemed quite impossible to express the extent of his regret that the party had not arrived in time to see it. "This is quite another place at that time," he said ecstatically. "C'est magnifique! c'est superbe! If monsieur had only seen it!"
She looked neither like a sylph, nor an oread, nor a fairy; she had neither l'air distingué nor l'air magnifique, but bore a great resemblance to a real mortal girl, such as you might pass a dozen of without any particular comment one of those appearances, which, though common as water, may, like that, be colored any way by the associations you connect with it.
