'Fifth volume of Matthew Henry's Commentary, said he, reading their titles aloud. 'Housewife's complete Manual; Berridge on Prayer; L'Inferno Dante! in great surprise. 'Why, who reads this? 'I told you Phillis read it. Don't you remember? She knows Latin and Greek, too. 'To be sure! I remember! But somehow I never put two and two together.
"Cantò l'armi pietòse e 'l capitanò Che 'l gran Sepòlerò liberò di Cristò; Mòltò egli òprò còl sennò e còn la manò, Mòltò sòffri nel glòriòsò acquistò; E invan l'infernò a lui s'òppòse; e invanò S'armò d'Asia e di Libia il pòpòl mistò; Che il ciel gli diè favòre, e sòttò ai santi Segni ridusse i suòi còmpagni erranti."
I softly rose, and as softly went into the kitchen, and looked over her shoulder; before she was aware of my neighbourhood, I had seen that the book was in a language unknown to me, and the running title was L'Inferno.

And then, suddenly, with a rich and splendid basso that seemed to thrill every fibre of the planking, Sparicio joined in the song: "M'ama pur d'amore eterno, Ne deilitto sembri a te; T'assicuro che l'inferno Una favola sol e." ... All the roughness of the man was gone! To Julien's startled fancy, the fishers had ceased to be; lo! Carmelo was a princely page; Sparicio, a king!
"Your Piagnoni will make l'inferno a pleasant prospect to us, if they are to carry things their own way on earth. It's enough to fetch a cudgel over the mountains to see painters, like Lorenzo di Credi and young Baccio there, helping to burn colour out of life in this fashion."
