I promised to learn French.

Prince Waldeck came in during the evening; I was introduced to him, and he gave me a very friendly welcome.

He could speak Italian very well, and during the carnival he chewed me great kindness.

He presented me with a gold snuffbox as a reward for a very poor sonnet which I had written for his dear Grizellini.

This was her family name; she was called Tintoretta because her father had been a dyer.
The Tintoretta had greater claims than Juliette to the admiration of sensible men.
