Excerpt
A little girl with bare brown feet and an orange- colored scarf tied about her head, was looking at him, from amid her sheep behind the hedge of agaves, with the dull curiosity of the peasant. What warmth of crimson color glowed under the olive skin! What soft depths there were in the wondering eyes! He thought of the shrivelled faces of the women he had seen bending over the washing-trough below the bridge over the Nervia. While there was yet time he would put a little joy into this one.
