User-Contributed Transcription (180 & Sister were very much alarmed. The next day, I managed to get dressed, & though I had to be very careful, & drink beef tea by the whole sale, I was able to go about in a carriage. The first thing we saw was Saint Peters. It far surpassed my expectations, & the beauty & harmony of the whole impressed me greatly. Pauvre moi! I was only allowed a half an hour, to take it all in. (Half an hour, for Michael Angelo's chef d'oeuvre). It was holy-week, & the 'Vatican,' & principal galleries were closed, another disappointment added to the many. But I did see the "Cenci." If I had been expecting to see my dearest friend I should not have been as excited; & when we finally reached the Barbarini Palace, & were ushered into the Cenci's presence, I found to my inexpressible disappointment that her eyes were --- brown. And I hate brown eyes!! It is quite true that there is something about the original, that the copiests can not catch; some subtle fascination peculiar to itself; I liked it immensely but it was far less beautiful than I expected. We visited th Coliseum, & dug up a "live ruin" in the shape of Mr. G. W. Wurtz. -
