He entreated Madame Novikoff to visit and cheer Charles Lever, dying at Trieste; deeply lamented Sir H. Bulwer's death: "I used to think his a beautiful intellect, and he was wonderfully simpatico to me." But he was shy of condoling with bereaved mourners, believing words used on such occasions to be utterly untrue.
"Ah, he was so simpatico. I'm awfully sorry for you." "You would be sorrier still if you knew." "What is there to know? You look very badly," the Countess added. "You must have been with Osmond."
On the mule-car that dragged and jolted us out to the "Niagara of Mexico" were three resident Germans who strove to be "simpatico" to the natives by a clumsy species of "horse play."
We entered the rose garden heavy with the full August blooms. "Well, my dear," said I. "Talk away." "If you have a bit of sense in you, it would be you who would talk. If you were a bit simpatico you would at once set the key of the conversation."
Drawing herself closer to O'Reilly, Rosa began thoughtfully: "Before you came I more than once was on the point of appealing to some of my former friends, but they are all Spaniards and we are no longer simpatico, you understand?" Rosa paused for his answer. "Perfectly; I'm in the same fix. Of all the people I used to know there isn't one but would denounce me if I made myself known.
Now, here was a young man of my own age, or little more, about whose idiosyncrasy there was something especially simpatico to me, as the Italians say who knew nothing whatever of the only things which I knew, but knew a whole world of things of which I was profoundly ignorant.
"Is that old Toadie you've got there?" called the Gentleman, crawling leisurely along. "It was." "What you doing to him?" "Killing him." "Ah, well," said the Gentleman, "I never cared much for old. Toadie. We weren't simpatico. If you care to wait a minute I'll " "Can't," gasped Kit. "No time. Now, boy, hurry!" Blob crawled out from beneath the dead man.
"I do not accept small sums now. It is not worth the risk. But the German was another matter. But listen, my Gino, for I am older than you and more full of experience. The person who understands us at first sight, who never irritates us, who never bores, to whom we can pour forth every thought and wish, not only in speech but in silence that is what I mean by SIMPATICO."
DOÑA MATILDE. ¡Que me case y que no le vuelva a ver en su vida!... y él mismo me lo indica.... ¡Dios mío, qué entrañas tienen estos padres! ¡Que me case!... ¡Si sospechará alguna cosa de lo que Eduardo y yo tenemos tratado para cuando ya no haya otro recurso! ¿Y queda ya alguno por ventura? ¡Que me case!... Y bien, sí ... me casaré ... me casaré con el hombre de mi elección, con el único mortal que me es simpático, y que puede proporcionarme la mayor felicidad posible en este mundo ... la de amar y ser amada; porque o yo no sé en lo que se cifra el ser una mujer dichosa, o ha de consistir necesariamente en estar siempre al lado de lo que ella ama; en jurarle a cada instante un eterno cariño; en respirar el aire que él respire ... ¿y cuesta acaso algo de esto dinero?
Wrenn's answer was in itself a proof of the soundness of Rabin's observation: "Sure I'm going to borrow some money from you fellows. Got to make an impression, see?" A few hours after this commendation came Istra's second letter: Mouse dear, I'm so glad to hear about the simpatico boarding- house. Yes indeed I would like to hear about the people in it. And you are reading history? That's good.
