"I hope Mochales excuses you because of your greenness." "Youth isn't any longer your crime," Lavinia retorted at last. "That dress it would suit Anna Mantegazza; but you looked only indecent." "Perhaps you're right, Gheta," Lavinia said unexpectedly. "I'm going to bed now, please." Her balance, restored by sleep, was once more normal when she returned to the Lungarno.
Mantegazza, in his Hygiene of Love, also states that, for a man between twenty and thirty, two or three times a week represents the proper amount of intercourse, and between the ages of thirty and forty-five, twice a week. Guyot recommends every three days. It seems, however, quite unnecessary to lay down any general rules regarding the frequency of coitus.
His fine perfumed linen, the touch of scarlet at his waist, his extremely high-heeled patent-leather boots under soft uncreased trousers, served only to emphasize his resolute metal they resembled an embroidered and tasseled scabbard that held a keen, thin and dangerous blade. Anna Mantegazza extended her hand in the American fashion, and Gheta smiled from Lavinia saw her best facial angle.
"They Anna Mantegazza and she went to the dressing room at the Guarinis', where, it seems, Anna discovered them sympathetically, of course." Gheta's sobbing slowly subsided under the marchesa's urgent plea that unrestrained emotion would only deepen her trouble. She did not appear at dinner; and afterward the marchese, his wife and Lavinia sat wrapped in a gloomy silence.
Then we grew harmoniously enthusiastic over Herbert Spencer and Darwin and Mantegazza and I talked a stream. My long silence found vent. Words poured from me in a torrent but he listened smilingly, his big head cocked on one side, waiting patiently for me to blow off steam.
Lavinia knew that the other was thinking of Cesare Orsi, and she agreed with her sister that Orsi was far too mild. Without the Orsi fortune he had much more even than Anna Mantegazza Cesare would simply get nowhere. The Spaniard Lavinia could not recall his name, although it hung elusively among her thoughts was different; women of all classes, Bembo had said, pursued him with favors.
Paolo Mantegazza, a celebrated Italian writer on medicine, "is certainly one of the most healthy of alcoholic drinks. The bitter tonic, the richness of the alimentary principle which it contains, and its digestibility make it a real liquid food, which, for many temperaments, is medicine. In the intoxication by beer there is always more or less stupidity. Beer is by no means favorable to l'esprit.
It was Pier Mantegazza who sat beside her, with a quizzical expression on his long gray visage. He said something to her in Latin, which she only partly understood, but which alluded to the changing of water into wine. "I am a subject of jest," he continued in Italian, "because I prefer water." She smiled with polite vacuity, wondering what he meant.
It was clear that he couldn't run a mile; in fact, he admitted that he detested all exercise. How absurd he looked in his tight plaited jacket! It appeared that he was always perspiring; a crime, she felt sure with entire disregard of its fatal consequences that Mochales never committed. "A friend of ours it was Bembo said that he saw you at San Sebastian with your King," Anna Mantegazza put in.
Mantegazza, in his Fisiologia del Piacere, thus describes the sexual temperament: "Individuals of nervous temperament, those with fine and brown skins, rounded forms, large lips and very prominent larynx enjoy in general much more than those with opposite characteristics.
