This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1909 Excerpt: ...very tiresome. Kitty (stifling a laugh). Aha! But in Rome? Tbavebs. Oh! They stayed a long time in Rome. Sib Reginald. Yes, because of the Vatican. Kitty. So as to see the frescoes, probably? Sib Reginald. No--to see the Pope. Kitty (looking at Tbavebs). The Pope? Sib Reginald. Yes. Madame de Semiano is a very fervent Catholic.
