Sometimes they play at cards, and once a year, in Carnival-time, they dance. At the two ends of the square stands two edifices, of greater height than breadth, built of a mixture of granite and schist. These are the Towers of the two opposing families, the Barricini and the della Rebbia.
"We take an entirely different direction," Lieutenant Mackinson told them, as he looked up from the map he had been studying.
