Erica found him looking at a Sevres china vase in which he could not by any possibility have been interested. "I feel Mr. Ruskin's wrathful eye upon me," she said, laughing. "Now after spending all that time before a Carlo Dolci, we must really go to the Uffizzi and look at Botticelli's 'Fortitude'. Brian and I nearly quarreled over it the last time we were there."
The background to the circular "Madonna" in the Uffizzi, the "Flagellation of Christ" in the Academy at Florence and in the Brera at Milan, and the "Adam" at Cortona, belong to this grade. We may add the pages in a predella representing the "Adoration of the Magi" in the Uffizzi.
As I say, your mother did me the honour, more than once, to accompany me to the Uffizzi." "My mother must have been very kind to you." "So it seemed to me at the time." "At the time only?" "Well, if you prefer, so it seems to me now." "Eh," said the Countess, "she made sacrifices." "To what, cara Signora? She was perfectly free.

The keep rose absolutely isolated among the ruins, yet on passing through the wall Rupert found himself in a long, uneven corridor, the floor of which was warped and sagging, while the walls were covered on one side with big faded portraits of an inferior quality, like those in the corridor that connects the Pitti and Uffizzi in Florence.
The Uffizzi Gallery contains a circular "Madonna" by his hand, with a row of naked men for background the forerunner of Michael Angelo's famous "Holy Family."

"Why, let us go to Giacosa's too," said Colville, taking the ice. "We shall be the only foreigners there, and we shall not even feel ourselves foreign. It's astonishing how the hot weather has dispersed the tourists.
