She knows lots about music, and I learned a good many things from her." Rosamond approved. "She's worth cultivating," she declared warmly, her long eyes brightening. "But tell me, Miss Pat, was that all that Milano said? Did she know I'd been with Pancri in Rome and Martona in Paris? Did she say that Tancredi had spoken of me?"
"I have news to cheer the invalid," wrote the good-natured Tancredi after a few phrases of regret. "The Milano was asking about you at luncheon today, and if you are able, I am to bring you to her next 'Hour' when she returns to New York within the fortnight." Patricia beamed.
She was afraid this might not be strictly honorable, since Tancredi had forbidden her to sing songs, but she had such a strong conviction that she was already a failure that she hoped she might be pardoned this solace to herself. "You're looking a lot gayer since you got settled," said Constance Fellows one afternoon as she sat in Patricia's room, mending the russet frock.
Sit there, little one, while I look thee over." She pushed Patricia to the piano bench, and settled herself on the opposite settee by the music stand, and though her scrutiny was amazingly thorough, Patricia was surprised to find that it did not disconcert her in the least. Madame Tancredi was the exact opposite of her friend Milano in all save the kindly spirit of the true artist.
The girl laughed a tinkling laugh which showed her faultless little white teeth and waved her hand in quite the foreign manner. "Tancredi is very well as teachers go," she said with an indifference that seemed superhuman to the quivering Patricia, who immediately set her up in her mind as authority on matters musical. "I've never studied before," she confessed, with a tinge of confusion.

It pleased, as did his next work, "Semiramide Riconosciuta," produced at Turin, though neither was so successful as his "Emma di Risburgo," first heard at Venice, and for some time a rival in popularity to "Tancredi." At this period Meyerbeer adopted the name of Giacomo, the Italian translation of Jacob, which he ever after retained.
We had just finished looking over the "Tancredi," and, as I sat down to rest in an arm-chair near the window, he leaned back in the deep window-embrasure, and looked down into the fine old garden below, from which arose the delicious odor of orange and young grape blossoms. "I was in Venice," he said, "when this opera was composed, in 1813. Mon Dieu! how time flies!
She knew that Patricia was Rosamond's closest associate and she was following the social impulse to please. Her friendly action brought the color to Patricia's cheeks and her eyes shone. "How splendid!" she said ardently. "How did you hear it? Do you know Tancredi?" The girl shook her head.
Patricia was gratified at the expression which Bruce's name brought to the clear hazel eyes. "You're a fortunate piece," commented Constance Fellows, with a familiarity which was not too intimate. "Tancredi and Bruce Hayden and a real family of your own not to mention being a chum of Rosamond Merton."
