It is a charming relic, that custom of the brighter days of Italy; and I myself have listened, on the still waters of the same lake, to a similar greeting to a greater genius the queenlike and unrivalled Pasta the Semiramis of Song!
A cluster of these in gold and emerald was in her black hair, and she wore a full set of large emeralds, set in Etruscan gold. The costume was faultless, and fitted to adorn the queenlike woman. No one who had seen Mrs.
And when the Empress rose to depart, certainly my fancy cannot picture a more queenlike image, or one that seemed more in unison with the representation of royal pomp and power.

She did not seat herself in a decided, queenlike manner, and after sitting down pottered too much with her drapery, arranging her petticoats.
