Nain, famous for the raising of the widow's son, and Endor, as famous for the performances of her witch are in view. To the eastward lies the Valley of the Jordan and beyond it the mountains of Gilead. Westward is Mount Carmel.
"There's a big secret society in Sicily called 'The Mafia," vouchsafed Carmel. "Then let us call ours 'The Chilcombe Mafia. No one will understand what we mean, even if they get hold of the name. Indeed I shouldn't mind casually mentioning it now and then, just to puzzle them. When things get bad, 'The Mafia' will take them up." "Strike secretly and suddenly!" agreed Dulcie with a chuckle.

Dulcie and Douglas were responsible for Gaspare, Rosalia, and Nina, while Vittore, and Aimée, Claude, and Bertram went together.
