The Colonel who was well acquainted with Alfred,
informed him that he had mistaken PiccOlsmini for
his sister.
For the first time the brother learned that the di

wrote her an apology, saying he could not regret
what had occurred on his own account, but would,
if she desired il, on hers. He had no idea he was

fascinating songstress in the world and that the
mistake had only taken place because she as

We should think they would, for Piccolomini has an
angelic mouth, where the honey of sentiment and
poesy is ever biVed No wonder, indeed,
The fragrant infancy Of opening flowers,
