"Our new servant Chloe can do that," replied Mrs. Delano. "But I really hope we shall get home without any further increase of our retinue." From the clerk information was obtained that he heard Mr. Duroy tell Mr. Bruteman that a lady named Rosabella Royal had sailed to Europe with Signor and Madame Papanti in the ship Mermaid.
Jerome and Gabriel Ravel are reported to have spent near three-score years on the planet which their winged feet have so lightly trod; and who will dare to say how many winters have passed over the head of the still young and graceful Papanti? Dr.
Possibly some here may recall that in the school building and the grounds the first Papanti taught some of the parents of the rising generation to dance. Among the men, since famous, who graduated from this school, are John Lathrop Motley, the historian, and George William Curtis, the elegant writer and able editor. The scenes and characters in Mr.
We talked of the old days: of ourselves when we were boys and girls together: of old Papanti, and our first Cotillion, of Class Days, and, I remembered afterward, that not one of us talked of ourselves except in the days of our youth. When the coffee came out, we looked about laughing to see which of the three of us left was to tell the story.
The result of it was shown in the arrest and imprisonment of Signor Papanti, and a vigilant search for Madame Guirlande.

Duroy died, his son came home from Arkansas to settle his affairs. My husband, who was one of Mr. Duroy's clerks, bought some of the things at auction; and among them was that parrot." "And what has become of Signor and Madame Papanti?" asked Mrs. Delano. The lady could give no information, except that they had returned to Europe.
