Well, you will go with us to England, won't you?

It will do you good, and it will do us good, certainly.
I quite agree with you that there's no situation like the Champs Elysees--really, there is scarcely anything like it in Europe, if you put away Venice--for a situation in a city.
The worst of the Champs Elysees is that it is out of the way, and expensive on the point of carriages when you can't walk far.

People tell you, too, that the air is sharper at the end of the avenue; yet the sun is so brilliant as to make amends for the disadvantage, if it exists.
Then you pay more for houses on account of the concourse of English.

And what if I object a little to the English besides?
If I do, the desirableness of the pure air and free walking for Penini counterbalances them.
The Thackeray girls have had the scarlatina at Naples, and have been very desolate, I fear, without a female servant or friend near them.
They probably were indisposed towards Naples by their own illness (which was slight, however; the scarlet fever is always slight in Italy they say), and by their father's more serious attack, for I have heard very different accounts of the Neapolitan weather.

Still, it has been an abnormal winter everywhere, and there are cold winds on that coast on certain months of the year always.

Lockhart has gone away with the Duke of Wellington, who was in deep consideration how he should manage his funeral on the road.
