The Letters of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume II

CHAPTER X
93/138

The expected outburst in Sicily and the Neapolitan States will simply extend the movement.

That's _our_ way of thinking and hoping.

May God defend the right! Mr.Probyn, a Liberal M.P., has come out here to appreciate the situation, and said last night that, after visiting the north of Italy and speaking with the chiefs, he is full of hope.
