CHAPTER XX

.

After a residence of some months in Rome, Eva and I receive a splendid card inviting us to the wedding of Pan Ostrynski and Panna Helena Turno, primo voto, Kolchanovski.

We cannot go, for Eva's health does not permit.

Eva paints continually, and makes immense progress. I receive a gold medal in Pest. A certain rich Croat bought my picture. I have entered into relations with Goupil.

## CHAPTER XXI .

A son is born to me in Verona.

Eva herself says that she has never seen such a child.

Uncommon.
