The sturdy man from Subiaco seemed like iron, for he ate sparingly and drank less, and went out into the village to secure a conveyance and to inquire the nearest way to Ceprano. But when, as I have said, Nino had guarded Hedwig's door for five hours he woke me from my sleep, and by that time it was about two in the afternoon.

From Jeromania we had still a few miles to travel until we entered the Roman territory near Ceprano.

In the course of to-day my passport was "vise" five times, making once in every little town through which we had passed.
