In the afternoon Tenebrae in the Sixtine chapel; and the Cardinal great Penitentiary goes to S Peter's. In this basilic the B.

"In the name of the Virgin, niece, don't let your passion get the best of you! Remember that you are committing a sin.

Sitting in the car window with my friend, I revolved these things, while the sunny landscape wheeled past outside, and our guardians chewed gum in the adjoining section.
