It was the same if I chose to walk part of the way, for then I took the steamer to S. Toma and passed through the campo of S. Margherita, which does for the poor of its neighbourhood very much what the Piazza of S. Mark does for the centre of the city and the élite of the world. This campo is one of the largest in Venice, and at night it is very gay.
In appreciation of my gifts they brought us a considerable quantity of fresh and jerked venison and smoked fat; and Toma, as a special mark of favor presented me with a deer's tongue which had been cured by some distinctive process unlike anything I had ever eaten before, and it was delicious indeed, together with a bladder of refined fat so clear that it was almost transparent.
Pierre Toma had said with pride, there was no other boat in the country like it; and after using it a day they were prepared to agree.
The Indians gave us the hearty welcome of the wilderness and received us like old friends. First, the chief, whose name was Toma, shook our hand, then the others, laughing and all talking at once in their musical Indian tongue. It was a welcome that said: "You are our brothers. You have come far to see us, and we are glad to have you with us."
The latter, rising in the little Alpine lake of Toma near the Pass of St. Gotthard, flows in a north-easterly direction to Reichenau. The Nearer Rhine is generally considered to be the more important branch, though the Farther Rhine is the longer by some seven miles.
Vie piu che indarno da riva si parte, Perche non toma tal qual ei si move, Chi pesca per lo vero e noil ha l' arte." DANTE, "Paradiso," Canto XIII. The elements of Catholic philosophy may no longer be looked upon as out of place in the education of our girls, or as being reserved for the use of learned women and girlish oddities.
"Of course!" said Natalie. "She knew they wouldn't believe her, so she sent the boy up, while she waited below." "Where's the boy?" Garth demanded. Ancose shrugged. "Gone down," he said. "No can catch now." "When did Pierre Toma go back?" "Early," said Ancose. "Five hours. Him horses fresh." "Maybe we can catch them yet!" cried Garth. "How much to the head of the rapids, Pake?"
These they would straightway broil over a little fire of birch boughs; and they needed with them no other food but the magical loaf made by Toma, one of their house-servants. Fact. Not far from the mayden castle was a certain royal palace, with a glittering roof, and the name of the palace was Rosnaree.
"I bought a boat from Pierre Toma." "I know her," he said with a chuckle; "cranky as a bath-tub! You couldn't go up the lake in her!" "Not while it blows like this," said Garth. "Then I hope it hits it up for a week!" said Charley, apparently addressing the hem of Natalie's skirt. "I was told one Wall-eye Macgregor had a strong boat," Garth said. "Nothing doing!" returned the boy.
It is thus the romantic legends of Granada mingle themselves with everything, and are kept fresh in the public mind. Another great festival at Granada, answering in its popular character to our Fourth of July, is El Dia de la Toma; "The day of the Capture"; that is to say, the anniversary of the capture of the city by Ferdinand and Isabella. On this day all Granada is abandoned to revelry.
