About, That The Future Peer Had Reached His Last Alternative.
I Rejoice To Add That The Day Also Showed That Even Count Filgiatti Had
Fallen, In The General Ordering Of Fates, Upon Happiness With Honour. I
Noticed That Emmeline Vigorously Protected Him From The Customs Officer
Who Wished To Confiscate His Cigarettes, And I Mentioned Her Air Of
Proprietorship To Her Father.
"Why, Yes," Said Mr. Malt, "He Offered Himself As A Count You See, And
Emmeline Seemed To Think She'D Like To Have One, So I Closed With Him.
There Isn'T Anything Likely To Come Of It For Three Or Four Years, But
He'S Willing To Wait, And She'S Got To Grow."
I Expressed My Felicitations, And Mr. Malt Added Somewhat Regretfully
That It Would Have Been Better If He'D Had More In His Clothes, But That
Was What You Had To Expect With Counts; As A Rule They Didn'T Seem To
Have What You Might Call Any Money Use For Pockets. In The Meantime
They Were Taking Him Home To Educate Him In The Duties Of American
Citizenship. Emmeline Put It To Me Briefly, "I'M Not Any Daisy Miller,"
She Said, "And I Prefer To Live Out Of Rome."
Once A Year The Present Lady Mafferton Invites Mrs. Portheris To Tea,
And I Know They Discuss My Theory Of Engagements In a Critical Spirit.
We Have Never Seen Either Miss Nancy Or Miss Cora Bingham Again, And I
Should Have Forgotten The Names Of Mr. Pabbley And Mr. Hinkson By This
Time If I Had Not Written Them Down In earlier Chapters. Arthur And I
Have Not Yet Made Up Our Minds To Another Visit To England. We Have
Several Friends There, However, Whom We Appreciate Exceedingly, In
Spite, As We Often Say To One Another, Of Their Absurd And Deplorable
Accent.
