Still
,
in
spite
of
this
,
Albert
displayed
his
most
dazzling
and
effective
costumes
each
time
he
visited
the
theatres
;
but
,
alas
,
his
elegant
toilet
was
wholly
thrown
away
,
and
one
of
the
most
worthy
representatives
of
Parisian
fashion
had
to
carry
with
him
the
mortifying
reflection
that
he
had
nearly
overrun
Italy
without
meeting
with
a
single
adventure
.
Sometimes
Albert
would
affect
to
make
a
joke
of
his
want
of
success
;
but
internally
he
was
deeply
wounded
,
and
his
self-love
immensely
piqued
,
to
think
that
Albert
de
Morcerf
,
the
most
admired
and
most
sought
after
of
any
young
person
of
his
day
,
should
thus
be
passed
over
,
and
merely
have
his
labor
for
his
pains
.
And
the
thing
was
so
much
the
more
annoying
,
as
,
according
to
the
characteristic
modesty
of
a
Frenchman
,
Albert
had
quitted
Paris
with
the
full
conviction
that
he
had
only
to
show
himself
in
Italy
to
carry
all
before
him
,
and
that
upon
his
return
he
should
astonish
the
Parisian
world
with
the
recital
of
his
numerous
love-affairs
.
Alas
,
poor
Albert
!
none
of
those
interesting
adventures
fell
in
his
way
;
the
lovely
Genoese
,
Florentines
,
and
Neapolitans
were
all
faithful
,
if
not
to
their
husbands
,
at
least
to
their
lovers
,
and
thought
not
of
changing
even
for
the
splendid
appearance
of
Albert
de
Morcerf
;
and
all
he
gained
was
the
painful
conviction
that
the
ladies
of
Italy
have
this
advantage
over
those
of
France
,
that
they
are
faithful
even
in
their
infidelity
.
Yet
he
could
not
restrain
a
hope
that
in
Italy
,
as
elsewhere
,
there
might
be
an
exception
to
the
general
rule
.
Albert
,
besides
being
an
elegant
,
well-looking
young
man
,
was
also
possessed
of
considerable
talent
and
ability
;
moreover
,
he
was
a
viscount
--
a
recently
created
one
,
certainly
,
but
in
the
present
day
it
is
not
necessary
to
go
as
far
back
as
Noah
in
tracing
a
descent
,
and
a
genealogical
tree
is
equally
estimated
,
whether
dated
from
1399
or
merely
1815
;
but
to
crown
all
these
advantages
,
Albert
de
Morcerf
commanded
an
income
of
50,000
livres
,
a
more
than
sufficient
sum
to
render
him
a
personage
of
considerable
importance
in
Paris
.
It
was
therefore
no
small
mortification
to
him
to
have
visited
most
of
the
principal
cities
in
Italy
without
having
excited
the
most
trifling
observation
.
Albert
,
however
,
hoped
to
indemnify
himself
for
all
these
slights
and
indifferences
during
the
Carnival
,
knowing
full
well
that
among
the
different
states
and
kingdoms
in
which
this
festivity
is
celebrated
,
Rome
is
the
spot
where
even
the
wisest
and
gravest
throw
off
the
usual
rigidity
of
their
lives
,
and
deign
to
mingle
in
the
follies
of
this
time
of
liberty
and
relaxation
.
The
Carnival
was
to
commence
on
the
morrow
;
therefore
Albert
had
not
an
instant
to
lose
in
setting
forth
the
programme
of
his
hopes
,
expectations
,
and
claims
to
notice
.
With
this
design
he
had
engaged
a
box
in
the
most
conspicuous
part
of
the
theatre
,
and
exerted
himself
to
set
off
his
personal
attractions
by
the
aid
of
the
most
rich
and
elaborate
toilet
.
The
box
taken
by
Albert
was
in
the
first
circle
;
although
each
of
the
three
tiers
of
boxes
is
deemed
equally
aristocratic
,
and
is
,
for
this
reason
,
generally
styled
the
"
nobility
's
boxes
,
"
and
although
the
box
engaged
for
the
two
friends
was
sufficiently
capacious
to
contain
at
least
a
dozen
persons
,
it
had
cost
less
than
would
be
paid
at
some
of
the
French
theatres
for
one
admitting
merely
four
occupants
.
Another
motive
had
influenced
Albert
's
selection
of
his
seat
--
who
knew
but
that
,
thus
advantageously
placed
,
he
might
not
in
truth
attract
the
notice
of
some
fair
Roman
,
and
an
introduction
might
ensue
that
would
procure
him
the
offer
of
a
seat
in
a
carriage
,
or
a
place
in
a
princely
balcony
,
from
which
he
might
behold
the
gayeties
of
the
Carnival
?
These
united
considerations
made
Albert
more
lively
and
anxious
to
please
than
he
had
hitherto
been
.
Totally
disregarding
the
business
of
the
stage
,
he
leaned
from
his
box
and
began
attentively
scrutinizing
the
beauty
of
each
pretty
woman
,
aided
by
a
powerful
opera-glass
;
but
,
alas
,
this
attempt
to
attract
notice
wholly
failed
;
not
even
curiosity
had
been
excited
,
and
it
was
but
too
apparent
that
the
lovely
creatures
,
into
whose
good
graces
he
was
desirous
of
stealing
,
were
all
so
much
engrossed
with
themselves
,
their
lovers
,
or
their
own
thoughts
,
that
they
had
not
so
much
as
noticed
him
or
the
manipulation
of
his
glass
.
The
truth
was
,
that
the
anticipated
pleasures
of
the
Carnival
,
with
the
"
holy
week
"
that
was
to
succeed
it
,
so
filled
every
fair
breast
,
as
to
prevent
the
least
attention
being
bestowed
even
on
the
business
of
the
stage
.
The
actors
made
their
entries
and
exits
unobserved
or
unthought
of
;
at
certain
conventional
moments
,
the
spectators
would
suddenly
cease
their
conversation
,
or
rouse
themselves
from
their
musings
,
to
listen
to
some
brilliant
effort
of
Moriani
's
,
a
well-executed
recitative
by
Coselli
,
or
to
join
in
loud
applause
at
the
wonderful
powers
of
La
Specchia
;
but
that
momentary
excitement
over
,
they
quickly
relapsed
into
their
former
state
of
preoccupation
or
interesting
conversation
.
Towards
the
close
of
the
first
act
,
the
door
of
a
box
which
had
been
hitherto
vacant
was
opened
;
a
lady
entered
to
whom
Franz
had
been
introduced
in
Paris
,
where
indeed
,
he
had
imagined
she
still
was
.
The
quick
eye
of
Albert
caught
the
involuntary
start
with
which
his
friend
beheld
the
new
arrival
,
and
,
turning
to
him
,
he
said
hastily
,
"
Do
you
know
the
woman
who
has
just
entered
that
box
?
"
"
Yes
;
what
do
you
think
of
her
?
"
"
Oh
,
she
is
perfectly
lovely
--
what
a
complexion
!
And
such
magnificent
hair
!
Is
she
French
?
"
"
No
;
a
Venetian
.
"
"
And
her
name
is
--
"
