It seemed to him that no pleasure on earth could compare with laboring for the welfare and protection of the beautiful white girl.
Let us never be pilfered of that which it is our privilege to give!" A tendril drops from the creeper above us and caresses our faces.... How delightful life is at this moment!

Like its neighbours the Farnese and Sacchetti palaces, it had been built by Antonio da Sangallo in the early part of the sixteenth century, and, as with the former of those residences, the tradition ran that in raising the pile the architect had made use of stones pilfered from the Colosseum and the Theatre of Marcellus.

Before, in those delicious moments with her, seemingly pilfered from the angry gods, the sense of intimacy had been deep; deep, because robbing the gods together, they had shared the feeling of guilt, had known that retribution would coma.

It was nothing less than robbery, he concluded a cold-blooded steal; while he starved, he was pilfered of his merchandise, of his goods, the sale of which was the sole way of getting bread to eat.
