He took up a paper and began to read, with an assumption of complete calmness and unconcern; but she saw that he was paler than usual, and that his hand shook a little as he turned the pages of his Galignani. Presently she asked, in a subdued voice, for something to drink. He brought her a glass of claret and water, and she raised herself a little on one arm to take it from him.
Oh! it's inexpressibly delightful. Everybody but poor Mr. Potiphar! He has a terrible time of it. When we arrived we alighted at Meurice's, all the fashionable people do; at least Gauche Boosey said Lord Brougham did, for he used to read it in Galignani and I suppose it is fashionable to do as Lord Brougham does. D'Orsay Firkin said that the Hotel Bristol was more recherche.
As I drew near, looking for my Galignani, the tall gentleman gave me, over the top of his eye-glass, a somewhat solemn stare. Presently, however, before I had time to lay my hand on the object of my search, he silently offered me the Journal de Geneve. "It appears," he said, "to be the paper of the country." "Yes," I answered, "I believe it's the best."
Deane, thank her much for her kind anxiety; but, indeed, if I had lost my darling I should not write verses about it. As for the Laureateship, it won't be given to me, be sure, though the suggestion has gone the round of the English newspapers 'Galignani' and all and notwithstanding that most kind and flattering recommendation of the 'Athenaeum, for which I am sure we should be grateful to Mr.
Clarissa's friends were for the most part Frenchwomen, whom she had known in London, or to whom she had been introduced by Lady Laura. Mr. Granger had his own set, and spent his afternoons agreeably enough, drinking soda water, reading Galignani, and talking commerce or politics with his compeers at the most respectable cafe on the Boulevards.
He folded up the wallet, however, and slipped it into his inside-pocket, while the other pushed forward his hat, so that it concealed even the eye, and sat rigid and still in his corner. "You have not named the fare to Paris." The tall man only breathed short and hard. "Don't you recollect?" "No!" "I have a 'Galignani' here; perhaps it is advertised. But hallo, Andy!"
About three weeks after the appearance of the advertisement in 'Galignani, one of Mark Wylder's letters reached Larkin. 'DEAR LARKIN, I saw my friend Smith here in the cafe, who has kept a bright look out, I dare say; and tells me that Captain Stanley Lake is thinking of standing either for the county or for Dollington.
Now comes this paragraph in Galignani which not only shows that the contradiction was erroneous, but shows how ignorant one may be in this country about what is happening only a few hundred miles away; especially when one is buried in work & neither talks with people or often looks in the paper.
He found himself, very unexpectedly, a hero in the general estimation. The romantic adventure on the Schilthorn had been rumoured about among the numerous English visitors to the Valley of Lauterbrunnen, until it had reached the editor of a local paper, and so had flowed through Galignani into the general stream of the English journals.
Baedeker guides the tourist through Rome by means of 312 pages of description in fine print. It may be proper to observe here, that Murray leads the visitor in the same way through London by means of a guide-book of 316 pages, and Galignani has 438 pages on Paris, exclusive of the tables of contents.
