At Nera, in Petræa, the army embarked, and was eleven days in crossing the gulf to Myos Hormos: from this place it traversed the country of the Troglodytes to Coptus, on the Nile. Two years were spent in this unfortunate expedition.
Murray's guide-book is exceedingly vague and unsatisfactory along this route; and whenever we asked Gaetano the name of a village or a castle, he gave some one which we had never heard before, and could find nothing of in the book. We made out the river Nar, however, or what I supposed to be such, though he called it Nera.
A Belgravian mother who frankly drills her daughter and points out, viva voce, when to advance and when to retreat, and to whom the honors of war are to be accorded is an article not yet imported into classic Italy with the current Anglomania. Beside Nera sat Prince Ruspoli, a young Roman of great wealth. Ruspoli aspired to lead the fashion, but not even Poole could well tailor him.
"You are nothing of all this if you do not marry Enrica Guinigi; if you do, you are all you say." "What am I to do?" exclaimed Nobili. "I have signed the contract." "Break it" Nera spoke the words boldly out "break it, or you will be dishonored. Do you think you can live in Lucca with a wife that you have bought?" Nobili bounded from his chair. "O God!" he said, and clinched his hands.
The strong and rank old Arme d'Inghilterra, in the darker street, has passed away; but its ancient rival the Aquila Nera put forth claims to modernisation, and the Grand Hotel, the still fresher flower of modernity near the gate by which you enter from the station, takes on to my present remembrance a mellowness as of all sorts of comfort, cleanliness and kindness.
Following in the steps of Claudius, Manius Curius built from the proceeds of the Pyrrhic spoil a second aqueduct for the capital ; and some years previously with the gains of the Sabine war he opened up for the Velino, at the point above Terni where it falls into the Nera, that broader channel in which the stream still flows, with a view to drain the beautiful valley of Rieti and thereby to gain space for a large burgess settlement along with a modest farm for himself.
It is possible that Captain Dieppe, full of contentment with the quarters to which fortune had guided him, under-rated the merits and attractions of the inn in the village across the river. Fare and accommodation indeed were plain and rough at the Aquila Nera, but the company round its fireside would have raised his interest.
Again the measure rose and fell in floods of luscious sweetness again Nera lay within his arms her breath was on his cheek the perfume of the flowers in her flossy hair was wafted in the air the blood stirred in his veins. The old man said truly. All the way up the second stair was lit by little lamps, fed by mouldy oil; and all the way up that waltz rang in Nobili's ear.
"You are not a triumphant lover, certainly. What is the matter?" "You are very good to care," answered Nobili, sighing again, gazing into her face; "once I thought that my fate did touch you." "Yes, once," Nera rejoined. "Once long ago." She gave an airy laugh that grated on Nobili's ears. "But we meet so seldom." "True, true," he answered hurriedly, "too seldom." His manner was most constrained.
Domenico e Sisto and Santa Pudenziana, where they appear among the marble sheathing of the walls. In the chapel of the Gaetani in the last-mentioned church, the wall is incrusted with the richest marbles, especially Lumachella and Brocatello, and large tablets of Hadrian's breccia setting off the splendid sarcophagus of Breccia nera e gialla dedicated to Cardinal Gaetani.
