Sinossi
Excerpt from The Magic of Rome
Now the blinds of the drawing-room were jerked by a serving-maid, and then presently the Marchesa di Sant Angioli awoke with a sigh on her lace pillow and peered between the four posters at the bronze clock a Mercury. Held on the mantelpiece of Carrara' marbler It was her boast that her maid had never found her sleeping, and while she sipped coffee and wondered at the coming day, Padre Buonavoglio th'r'ew open his balcony window and whispered a short prayer, seem ingly to the stable roof rather than to heaven, for the beauty of God's morning had no private word for him, and if he rose early and exercised his devotions on the balcony it was more because it behoved a priest than because he enjoyed it.
