Page 242 - THE Marina was crowded with company, and the most distinguished of the Palermitan nobility in open carriages were enjoying the gayety of the summer evening, and the refreshing air that breathed gently from the bay.

Page 247 - You have lost no time since your arrival," replied he, a little proudly as I thought, " but I will call on you in the course of the day." We then parted. There was nothing in this sad interview to make me question what I had heard ; but, on the contrary, a strong confirmation of the justice of my jealousy.
