An Englishman, an actor, a Protestant, and a renegade lawyer! It was not to be endured. The charade now being played was the best of the evening. One of the madcap friends of Zoe was to be a singing-girl.
This was a blow to Italian aspirations, for Victor Emmanuel III is the best-beloved man in Italy, the father of his people, whose heads would bow before his will even though their hearts were torn.
