Let us take courage, Isa.
Dear, I had just folded up your parcel for Miss Alexander that my brother George should take it to-morrow.

It has been my first opportunity for England--at least, for London.

But now I will carry it back to you....
Arabel stays with me till we go, which will be in a fortnight perhaps from now.

We have an apartment in an exquisite situation, two paces from the Tuileries Gardens, first floor, three best bedrooms and two servants' rooms, a closet of a dining-room, a salon--all small, but exquisitely comfortable and Parisian, looking into a court though, and we are not tempted to stay the winter.

No; we return to Florence faithfully.
