Donna Teresa

Excerpt from Donna Teresa. IT was sirocco in Rome; sirocco which as every one knows brings out a damp ooze on the pavement and makes the hills yet more slippery for the over laden horses and mules; sirocco which disposes man and woman to take peevish views of life especially if they have no work on which to fasten thought; sirocco in fine hot baleful depressing sapping the strength of one and the energy of another a universal excuse for whatever untoward may befall a Roman on the days when it makes itself felt..
