Excerpt from Patchwork, Vol. 3 of 3
At the best hotel in and in the best room - for we had all to ourselves to choose from - the furniture consisted of two broken-down bedsteads, without a trace of posts or curtains - three chairs, one deal table three feet in diameter, sashes without glass, and floors without mat or carpet. For tunately we had taken the precaution of bringing an iron bedstead and mosquito curtains, not to mention sheets sewed into the form of a bag, which is the only barrier against the nocturnal enemy so prevalent in Sicily. For the rest, the profound stillness of the country village proved a delicious contrast to the uproar of Catania; though the sound of the bells of Santa Agatha still rung in our ears.
