III. Clarice

A quick look into our heroine's past will allow you to better appreciate the sensational uproar that roused her to read this unique declaration. Daughter of love and of fault, Clarice created roots in an extremely mobile and passionate organization from birth. About a hundred ____ deposited at her crib; she was wisely employed by helpful hands that picked her up as a child and cultivated a musical talent in her. She expressed this talent at a high degree until childhood, when she made such rapid progress that by the age of puberty, she deserved to enjoy the fame and the pay of a distinguished piano player. At 16 years old, she was a master of a noble art, without need for guidance or advice.
