Who can tell what half-forgotten deity may have found Maestro Tomaso asleep in the woods, that magician Virgil in his hands, for on this coast the gods wander even yet, and, creeping behind him, finding him so fair, may have kissed him on the ears, as the snakes kissed Cassandra when she lay asleep at noon in Troy of old.

"Let me congratulate you, maestro," he cordially said, offering Ticellini his hand. Ticellini hesitated before he took it.
"'Extremely well; no one has inhabited it for a century at least; it is half in ruins, signor. A queer place to hire; I hope the rent is not heavy. "'Maestro Paulo, said he, 'I am a philosopher, and don't care for luxuries. I want a quiet retreat for some scientific experiments.
