[So the remains of the only Papal Englishman now lie within the quondam (i.e., correctly late fourth century) sarcophagus Maria. As you might well imagine, Maria and Otto often have Nicholas Breakspeare over for dinner. Otto calls Maria's matchmaking efforts The Breakspearean Plays.]

I receive a package in the mail which contains one of the several books I've lately been successfully bidding on at eBay. The book is Wonders of Italy, Rome, Eternally Beautiful, a dense little guide book from 1937 with 1045 illustrations and lots of interesting facts; I'm very happy with this purchase.
