"We must efface the legend," said Pittrino, in a melancholy tone. "I have some excellent ivory-black; it will be done in a moment, and we will replace the Medici by the nymphs or the sirens, whichever you prefer." "No," said Cropole, "the will of my father must be carried out. My father considered " "He considered the figures of the most importance," said Pittrino.

"Six physicians! impossible! And the composition?" cried Pittrino. "That is your business but so it shall be I insist upon it it must be so my macaroni is burning." This reasoning was peremptory Pittrino obeyed.
How strongly he resembles his illustrious father!" "A handsome likeness!" said Pittrino. "And what a lofty carriage he has!" added Madame Cropole, already in promiscuous commentary with her neighbors of both sexes.
