The Realists Sapho; Parisian Customs (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Realists: Sapho; Parisian Customs To the urgent questioning of the Egyptian woman, the piffero answered with the ingenuousness of his tender age, with the indifference, the gentleness of a Southerner who had been long without speaking. A stranger to all that world of painters and sculp tors, lost as soon as he entered the ball-room by the friend who had brought him, he was waiting about for two hours past, keeping his pretty tanned and sunburnt blonde countenance on the lookout, his hair in close and short curls like the fleece of his costume, till a success, which he scarcely suspected, arose and was whispering around him.
