     The streets of Palizzi, through which no Englishman perhaps had as yet descended, were swarming with perfectly naked, berry-brown children, and before I reached the taverna I could hardly make my way through the gathering crowd of astonished mahogany Cupids. The taverna was but a single dark room, […] ; still it was a better resting-place than the hut at Condufóri, inasmuch as it was free from many intruders.
