also made up my mind that they
should not profit by me. When / got
to the holy city at last and found my
self surrounded as I walked out in
the morning, I gave the crowd the
cold shoulder. One Of them-and he
was the frowsiest and raggedest of
the lot-stuck to me till l lost my pa
tience and swore at him, and an hour
later I was arrested and taken into
court. The charge was using profane
language in public, and after I had
been fined the equivalent Of two dol
lars and was free to go I said to the
judge:
"'You Italians are a curious people.
There are plenty Of you who must
swear in public
THAT is certainly true, signor., he
replied. ~
"'Then why fine me for doing ftp
Because you swore in Englishaand
not in u beautiful Italian tongue"
