A dwelling closely resembling this description was actually unearthed near Akita in O-U, in 1807. Muro were used in ancient times by the highest as Well as the poorest classes. "In fact, pit-dwelling in northern climates affords no indication of race." As to the last of these, there is no conclusive indication that they ever immigrated in appreciable numbers.
Besides, so far as your responsibility goes, it will not last much longer. I shall go to Muro next month." "Alone?" "Alone yes. I always mean to live alone. Don Teodoro will come and dine with me every evening, and we will talk about the people, and what we are doing for them. I shall have horses to ride. If you will come, we will fence together. I shall miss the fencing dreadfully.
"Veronica," said Bianca, at last, "why do you not marry Gianluca, since you have grown to liking him so much?" "I like him for a friend," answered Veronica, quietly. "I do not want a husband. Some day, I will tell you my story, perhaps some day, if you will come to Muro, dear. Think about it." She left the room rather abruptly, and Bianca did not refer to the subject again.
Muro Kyu-so, the "Japanese Philosopher" to whom we have referred more than once, rejected Buddhism, as we have already seen. The high quality of his moral teachings we have also noticed. Yet he had no idea that he was "religious." Those who reject Buddhism often use the term "Shukyo-kusai," "stinking religion." For them religion is synonymous with corrupt and superstitious Buddhism.
"I am old fashioned," he answered. "You are my princess and feudal liege lady. Never mind. It would be better for you if you were in your own castle of Muro, with your own people about you, though it is a gloomy place, and the scenery is sad. You would be safe there." "You speak as though we lived in the Middle Ages," said the young girl, with a faint smile. "We live in the dark ages.
The camp in the pass above Cosenza was still strongly held, four well fortified camps were established in the plains on either side of the hills, and Muro himself took up his post at Rhegium, where two thousand legionaries were posted. The gladiators again broke up into bands, Beric returning to his former encampment, to the delight of Aemilia.
Another striking feature in the lives of these early sovereigns is that while on the one hand their residences are spoken of as muro, a term generally applied to dwellings partially underground, on the other, we find more than one reference to high towers.
She sent her saddle horse and two pairs of strong cobs with two country carriages and a coachman a very young man, who had served in Gianluca's regiment and had been his man. He was to find a man in Muro to help him in the stables, and he was the only servant, not a native, whom she meant to employ. Don Teodoro had kept ten people at work for a month in cleaning the vast old place.
Veronica looked at him with a little curiosity, for she had never been to Muro, and it was interesting to see one of her dependents of whom she had often heard. "Come," she said suddenly. "We shall meet no one, except my maid, perhaps Elettra. Do you know her? Her husband was under-steward, and was killed." "I know of her I buried him," answered the priest.
But neither she nor her husband knew that the doctors despaired of his life. The truth had been kept from them, and Taquisara had extracted it from one of the physicians with considerable difficulty, having more than half guessed it during the past two months. At the mere suggestion of going to Muro, Gianluca had revived, reading Veronica's letter alone to himself in his room.
