He writes her from the Hotel des Empereurs, himself "plus heureux que tous les empereurs du monde!" and again, "Mon long exil va finir." Yet it was only just beginning! He arrived in Rome on October 20. All arrangements for the ceremony in the San Carlo al Corso had been made.
"Stephen a regagne l'appetit et part vendredi pour Londres. "Mes meilleures amities a Raoul, et tous mes souhaits pour un bon sejour a Lucerne, cet endroit si ravissant! "Vieux Papa." To the infinite amusement of "Vieux Papa," his daughter answered immediately, "We never knew that you had been at Freiburg," etc., etc.

"Fais-moi f.... dedans tous ces b... la ," "quatre j...f... a raccourcir;" At Arras, as at Metz, the lout is ever the ruffian and the butcher. Others are either jolly fellows, or blackguards.

Je crois qu'il a ete heureux de pratiquer avec moi ce tutoiement, qui ne s'adapte pas a l'anglais, et qui est si francais. Je ne puis vous peindre l'etendue et la variete de nos conversations de la soiree.
The brightness heaven and earth conspiring to be bright the levity and quiet of the air; the odd stirring silence more stirring than a tumult; the snow, the frost, the enchanted landscape: all have their part in the effect and on the memory, "tous vous tapent sur la tête"; and yet when you have enumerated all, you have gone no nearer to explain or even to qualify the delicate exhilaration that you feel delicate, you may say, and yet excessive, greater than can be said in prose, almost greater than an invalid can bear.
