I may not attempt to report in its fulness our young woman's response
to the deep appeal of Rome, to analyse her feelings as she trod the
pavement of the Forum or to number her pulsations as she crossed the
threshold of Saint Peter's. It is enough to say that her impression was
such as might have been expected of a pe... | 5,878 | Chapter 27 | https://web.archive.org/web/20180820033733/http://www.pinkmonkey.com/booknotes/monkeynotes/pmPortraitLady45.asp | Isabel loves Rome and has a very happy time exploring it with her friends.

On the morrow, in the evening, Lord Warburton went again to see his

She returned on the morrow to Florence, under her cousin's escort, and

It was not of him, nevertheless, that she was thinking while she stood

The oblique way pays off in several respects. First, the reader sees Isabel Archers ambivalence about Caspar Goodwood. She feels guilty for rejecting him. She... | 267 | 243 |

Her fit of weeping, however, was soon smothered, and the signs of it had

It seems in fact to sicken him further. Yet he knows he cant say anything since it wont change Isabels mind and because it wont it would only cause problems between them.

Isabel, when she strolled in the Cascine with her lover, felt no impulse

He feels that Madame Merle has given him an enormous gift in giving him Isabel Archer. She is intelli... | Notes Isabel is isolated from all her usual sources of moral guidance. She seems to like this state of affairs at the moment. It makes her engagement to Gilbert Osmond even more romantic.

One afternoon of the autumn of 1876, toward dusk, a young man of

The Countess Gemini was often extremely bored--bored, in her own phrase,

These are, firstly, Henrietta Stackpole, Caspar Goodwood, but also Lord Warburton and Ralph Touchett. This chapter serves mainly as a set-up for... | 432 | 97 |

Lord Warburton was not seen in Mrs. Osmond's drawing-room for several

There was a train for Turin and Paris that evening; and after the
Countess had left her Isabel had a rapid and decisive conference with

It was not with surprise, it was with a feeling which in other
