Most devoutly do I kiss your hands, and to my dear lady Alda I commend myself a thousand times. " The amiable prelate was at that time assiduously courting Signorina Alda Boiarda, maid of honour to the marchioness ; and, as usual, the mistress was not altogether pleased. 308 THE WOMEN OF THE RENAISSANCE Another charming custom in Italy was for a lady to recall herself to the recollection of her friends by means of a little present. Vittoria Colonna sent her portrait to Bembo, accompanied by a f...ew verses from her own hand : " Verses pure and dainty ! " cries Bembo, " that touch the heart far more than a mere letter. " On another occasion she charged one of her friends, who was going to Mantua, to convey to the marquis "a friendly and s} 7 mpathetic " greeting, with some small token of her regard. The friend thought he was doing right in offering a basket of roses, and the marquis lost no time in sending his respectful thanks direct to the fair donor. And then Vittoria formally apologised in very affectionate terms that her messenger had " honoured him so little " as to offer so modest a souvenir.
