Excerpt from The Diary of a Lady-in-Waiting, Vol. 2 of 2
This day I did penance, in the way of leaving visiting cards at the doors of all my acquaintance. Why will people not do at Rome as they do at Rome why will they not dispense with the petty ceremonies of etiquette, which are allowable in other great towns, but which take up too much precious time here, and are quite at variance with the occupations and interests which ought to employ mind and time in this classic city. Who that has ever inhabited Rome, does not feel a pride and a pleasure in tracing the word how many remembrances does it not recall how the heart eiipands, and the stature seems to dilate, and the tongue to cry out anch io son Romano! Yes, who that has trod these sacred stones, does not conceive themselves in vested with the denizenship of the city of the world Though for centuries every pen has eulogised, and every heart has echoed the praises of the eternal city, still an inexhaustible fund of interest remains for ages yet unborn, to expatiate upon, to analyse, and to enjoy.
