So a little chapel was built; the family and servants attended every Sunday, and many days in the week; and the country folk from great distances found their way through the woods to hear Mass in the palm-thatched sanctuary of 'El Riposo.
"Si, signore non dubiti!" Delarey climbed up on to the mountainous bed. "Buona notte, Maddalena!" he said, smiling at her from the pillow like a boy. "Buon riposo, signorino!" That was the last thing he heard. The last thing he saw was the dark, eager face of the girl lit up by the candle-flame watching him from the farther room.
In his desire to keep the troops fit, our Divisional Commander issued instructions that the hottest and most trying hours of the afternoon were to be set aside as a period of rest similar to that which, he explained, is officially enforced in the Italian army under the name of "Riposo."
It is nowhere recorded; either in Scripture or in the legendary stories, that Mary and Joseph in their flight were accompanied by Elizabeth and the little St. John; therefore, where either of these are introduced, the subject is not properly a Riposo, whatever the intention of the painter may have been: the personages ought to be restricted to the Virgin, her Infant, and St.
I took the hint, thanked them all for a very pleasant evening and wished them "Buon riposo." The brigadier shut me in for the night, promising to call me in the morning, and the legend above my bedroom door was "Comandante della Brigata." In the morning he knocked while it was still dark.
"Perhaps we shall see you to-morrow." She was just going to turn away when Ruffo bent down to kiss her hand.

That is the light in the Casa delle Sirene." "But no one lives there." "Oh, it has been built up now, and Salvatore Buonavista lives there with Maddalena. Buon riposo, signora. Buon riposo, signore." "Buon riposo, Gaspare." And Maurice echoed it: "Buon riposo." As Gaspare went away round the angle of the cottage to his room near Tito's stable, Maurice added: "Buon riposo.
Peppino produced a key and opened it; to my surprise it led into my room. "Buon riposo," said Peppino, and was about to disappear the way we had come when I reminded him that the professor was to have the other bed. I had some difficulty with him, but when I had hung his coral round my neck he gave way. After this I saw a great deal of the professor.
Some of the accessories introduced would stamp the intention at once; as the date tree, and Joseph gathering dates; the ass feeding in the distance; the wallet and pilgrim's staff laid beside Joseph; the fallen idols; the Virgin scooping water from a fountain; for all these are incidents which properly belong to the Riposo.
