It was hearing the name Hawthorne that had startled him to attention. "I saw you earlier in the evening in a box with Mrs. Hawthorne," Guerra said, "whom, you remember, I had the pleasure of meeting at Mrs. Grangeon's." After considering a moment with a half-smile, he nodded and pronounced in the tone of an impartial critic, "Simpatica!" Then, after considering another moment, nodded again.
She was whispering, and I saw she meant it. "Oh, Peggy! don't tell your mother. She is not not simpatica. I might lose my home here, my only home. Peggy, promise me." "Daughter!" mother was calling from the dining-room. I slipped away from Aunt Elizabeth's hands. "I promise," said I. "You sha'n't lose your home." "Daughter!" mother called again, and I went in.
The younger answered gayly; the older listened with entire placidity. But when the account was finished, she reached out to pat Nan's hand, and to smile reassuringly. Various foods and a flask of red wine were brought. There was no constraint, for Keith threw himself with delighted abandon into experiments with sign language. "Esta simpatica," the Californians told each other over and again.
Away he went, his heart leaping like a wood-fire, to report to Meleagro de' Martiri and Stazio Orsini, to Donna Euforbia, Donna Clarice, and Donna Simpatica friends and poets alike that he had had a most rare vision.
The words, 'Brunetta mia simpatica, ti amo sempre più, sung after this fashion to Eustace's handsome partner, who puffed delicate whiffs from a Russian cigarette, and smiled her thanks, had a peculiar appropriateness. All the ladies, it may be observed in passing, had by this time lit their cigarettes.
Their own expression, muy simpática, gives better than any other the charm of the Spanish woman, whether young or old, gentle or simple. It was the possession of all these qualities in a high degree by Doña Isabel II. that covered the multitude of her sins, and made all who came within her influence speak gently of her, and think more of excuses than of blame.
Charles V. is on the other side; and I hardly know which of these portraits is the finest as a work of Art, for all are perfect. Charles is standing, with a noble dog leaning up against his hand; there is something simpatica in his gray eyes, his worn face, and even in his protruding jaw, it is so admirably rendered, and gives such a firm character to the face.
Given a few months in New York or Paris, and Mindanao's future Sultana would bloom like a rose in manners and millinery, for, despite her reserve, she is adaptable and what the Spaniards call simpática.
I guessed that love would appear after I had married money and earned the necessary means and leisure to love. But now all is changed. The arrow has sped. There has come the spirit simpatica instead of the necessary rich woman. Now I do not want the rich woman but only she who wakens my passion, adoration, worship. Life has nothing in it but Madonna English Jenny.
Slowly she retraced her steps down the grass path as if to have the words repeated. But if Miss Levering's idea had been to change the conversation, she was disappointed. There was nothing Paul Filey liked better than an audience, and he had already the impression that Miss Heriot was what he would have scorned to call anything but 'simpatica.
