Eleanor
Authorship not stated
You are Lucy Foster, a stranded American guest at Miss Manisty's villa outside Rome, unpacking travel-worn dresses while dreading dinner with a household you have never met. Your hostess's nephew turns out to be Edward Manisty, the writer whose own books first taught you to care about Italy — and a visibly reluctant host, cold until an argument over liberty and unification catches him off guard. His cousin Eleanor Burgoyne steadies the table each time his temper flares, then asks what you see in an old drawing of the Pope.
