The cause of Alice Manisty's visit, indeed, had turned out to be precisely what Manisty supposed.
Though it was supposed to represent the thoughts and fancies of an Englishman wandering through modern Italy, it was really Manisty's Apologia Manisty's defence of certain acts which had made him for a time the scandal and offence of the English political party to which ancestrally he belonged, in whose interests he had entered Parliament and taken office.
This is my afternoon dress, I've been wearing it in Florence. But of course I'll put on my other. Oh! please don't send for a maid. I'd rather unpack for myself so much rather! The speaker flushed crimson, as she saw Miss Manisty's maid enter the room in answer to her mistress's ring. She stood up indeed with her hand grasping her trunk, as though defending it from an assailant.
Let me show you Mr. Manisty's latest purchase. And, slipping her arm inside Miss Foster's, Mrs. Burgoyne dexterously turned her away from the glass, and brought her to the large central table, where a vivid charcoal sketch, supported on a small easel, rose among the litter of books. It represented an old old man carried in a chair on the shoulders of a crowd of attendants and guards.
