While he was absent, my companion, in a polite manner, gave me the particulars of the combat I had witnessed, going so far as to direct my attention to a paper he had brought on board, to show to Captain Rowley, and which contained the English official account of the whole affair.
Lady Rowley thought that she could perceive that her phoenix had not made himself agreeable at the embassy. It might perhaps be that he had buried himself away from society because of his love. "And is here now?" asked Lady Rowley. "I cannot say at all. He is sometimes here and sometimes with his father at Naples. But when here, he lives chiefly with the Americans.
The poor woman was so evidently disconcerted that Caroline Spalding was quite unhappy. "My dear Lady Rowley, there has been no fault. And why shouldn't it have been so? Wallachia is so clever, that it is the most natural thing in the world to have thought." "I cannot say that I agree with you there," said Lady Rowley, somewhat recovering herself.

"I am never put out, Miss Rowley," said the old lady, "as long as I am made to think that what I do is taken in good part."
