There were, perhaps, one hundred and twenty houses in Sullacro for me to choose from, so after looking out carefully for the one that promised the most comfort, I decided in favour of a strong, fortified, squarely-built house. "Certainly," said my guide. "That is the house of Madame Savilia de Franchi. Your honour has chosen wisely."
The notion that my staying a night could give occasion for gossip concerning my hostess, or that it made any difference whether I was old or young, was unintelligible to a Corsican. Madame Savilia, I learnt from the guide, was about forty, and had two sons twins twenty-one years old. One lived with his mother, and was a Corsican; the other was in Paris, preparing to be a lawyer.
