Signora Dietrich is noted for her works of charity, and for her rigid, unbending adherence to the most strictly religious life which can be led by one who is not actually in a cloister. Her house is a resort of some of the most accomplished of the Roman clergy, and it is known that, in a quiet way, she does an immense amount of work for the Church. She is a clever woman, and her life at present is a highly successful one. Intrigue, and the management of other people’s affairs, and interference with them, are dependent on their subjects’ characters; undirected, they are apt to get into narrow grooves, and the result of their labours is not, in that case, productive of unmixed good--at least, to the mind of the vulgar--but manipulated by the hands of authority, by such a Church as that of Rome, with proper consideration and proper discipline, there is no knowledge of what value they may become to their superiors, nor what satisfaction and content they may secure for themselves. For such a road in life Signora Dietrich was born; if she entered the right path somewhat late, she at least strives to make up in zeal and mature intelligence the wasted years which slipped by before she had found her vocation.
