[A Siren by Thomas Adolphus Trollope]@TWC D-Link bookA Siren CHAPTER IX 11/12

You can arrange all about the when, and the where, etc., with Stadione.
We are going to have a meeting of the Belle Arte Committee here this morning. They'll be here directly!" said the Marchese Lamberto, pulling out his watch. "One word more, uncle, before I'm off," said Ludovico. "What is it ?--money, I suppose ?" said the Marchese, again taking out his watch. "No, sir; not money this time,--unless, indeed, you insist on it," said the nephew, laughing. "Not at all, not at all! I won't press it on you by any means!" said the uncle in a similar tone; "but what were you going to say ?" "Why, with reference to what you were saying just now, about the Signorina Foscarelli," replied Ludovico, in quite a different tone.
"I am always anxious to shape my conduct in accordance with your advice, uncle.
You see La Foscarelli has all but finished her work at St. Vitale, you know: she is to do her copying in the Cardinal's Palace next, for you have kindly arranged for her permission to do so.
