But certainly, after all, she has been fortunate.

She embarked at last on a lawsuit about some property, with her husband's family, and went to America to attend to it.

She came back triumphant, with a long purse.
She reappeared in Italy, and established herself for a while in Venice.
Then she came to Florence, where she spent a couple of years and where I saw her.

Last year she passed down to Naples, which I should have said was just the place for her, and this winter she has laid siege to Rome.
She seems very prosperous.

She has taken a floor in the Palazzo F----, she keeps her carriage, and Christina and she, between them, must have a pretty milliner's bill.
