The moving crowd and the strange mixture of noises that burst on him at the entrance of the piazza, reminded Tito of what Nello had said to him about the Fierucoloni, and he pushed his way into the crowd with a sort of pleasure in the hooting and elbowing, which filled the empty moments, and dulled that calculation of the future which had so new a dreariness for him, as he foresaw himself wandering away solitary in pursuit of some unknown fortune, that his thought had even glanced towards going in search of Baldassarre after all.
I was lulled to sleep by the well-rhymed charms of that rustic maiden `prettier than the turnip-flower, `with a cheek more savoury than cheese. But to get such a well-scented notion of the contadina, one must lie on velvet cushions in the Via Larga not go to look at the Fierucoloni stumping in to the Piazza della Nunziata this evening after sundown."
"And pray who are the Fierucoloni?" said Tito, indifferently, settling his cap. They make a queer show, with their paper lanterns, howling their hymns to the Virgin on this eve of her nativity if you had the leisure to see them. No? well, I have had enough of it myself, for there is wild work in the Piazza.
