All Of A Sudden Her Language Changed Into A Burning Torrent Of Insanity, With Wild Gesticulations.

She was the Queen of the country, she avowed, the rightful Queen, and they had robbed her of all her children, every one of them, and all her jewels.

I agreed - what else could one do? Being in the combustible stage, she went over the argument again and again, her eyes fiercely flashing. Nothing could stop the flow of her words. I was right glad when another woman came to my rescue and pushed her along, as you would a calf, saying:

"You go home now, it's getting dark, run along! - yes, yes! you're the Queen right enough - she was in the asylum, Sir, for three months and then they let her out, the fools - of course you are, everybody knows that! But you really mustn't annoy this gentleman any more - her husband and son were both killed in the war, that's what started it - we'll fetch them tomorrow at the palace, all those things, and the children, only don't talk so much - they thought she was cured, but just hark at her! - va bene, it's all yours, only get along - she'll be back there in a day or two, won't she? - really, you are chattering much too much, for a Queen; va bene, va bene, va bene - "

A sad little incident, under the pines....

A fortnight has elapsed.

I refuse to budge from Viareggio, having discovered the village of Corsanico on the heights yonder and, in that village, a family altogether to my liking.
