Like Louis Philippe, whom we had seen in what seemed to be his secure seat of power in Paris, Pius IX. was soon to be a fugitive from his palace; not indeed, like the French king, doomed to foreign exile, but destined to be shorn of his temporal power, stripped of his dominions and forced to elect a voluntary imprisonment within the walls of the Vatican.
But we were happy in the enjoyment of the early auspicious days of the new pontificate. We shared this enjoyment with many good American frien...ds, which made the winter of 1847 ^^ Rome memorable for charming 169 Digitized by Google WILLIAM ALLEN BUTLER American companionship. Of the young men who dined together at the *'Lepri," and then adjourned to the Caffe Greco in the Via Condotti, were many who were to at- tain eminence in later life. George William Curtis, John F. Kensett, Thomas Crawford, Thomas Hicks, Luther Terry, and Christopher P. Cranch were among them. The Caffe Greco had, in the rear of the premises, a long narrow room, with seats on either side, like a stationary omnibus, and there, night after night, a com- pany of Americans, who hailed the advent of Pius IX as the dawn of a new era, discussed art, literature and politics.
