I answered that, having no acquaintances in Rome, I was afraid my life there would be very dull.
"Strangers are liked in Rome," she said, "I feel certain that you will be pleased with your residence in that city." "May I hope, madam, that you will allow me to pay you my respects ?" "We shall be honoured by your calling on us," said the advocate.
My eyes were fixed upon his charming wife.

She blushed, but I did not appear to notice it.

I kept up the conversation, and the day passed as pleasantly as the previous one.

We stopped at Terracina, where they gave us a room with three beds, two single beds and a large one between the two others.

It was natural that the two sisters should take the large bed; they did so, and undressed themselves while the advocate and I went on talking at the table, with our backs turned to them.
