Excerpt from Roba Di Roma, Vol. 2 of 2
Do you remember, my dear friend, the delightful days we spent in these old Sabine towns, and the evening at Pales trina, where there was no inn, and where the hospitable old woman who took us in could not bring her mind to kill the chickens she loved for our supper? AS we sat at our table we saw her taking one after another out of an Old basket under the long bench of the ante-room, smoothing down its feathers, pressing it to her heart, and muttering an almost inaudible soliloquy, of which we only caught fragments of words expressive of passionate affection and ejaculations of regret.
