Saint Cecilia's.
Rowland went often to the Coliseum; he never wearied of it.

One morning, about a month after his return from Frascati, as he was strolling across the vast arena, he observed a young woman seated on one of the fragments of stone which are ranged along the line of the ancient parapet.

It seemed to him that he had seen her before, but he was unable to localize her face.

Passing her again, he perceived that one of the little red-legged French soldiers at that time on guard there had approached her and was gallantly making himself agreeable.
