All day evil-looking loafers lounged about its doorways, nodding lazily to the passing workmen, who, blue-bloused, with silk cap on head, each with his loa under his arm, came to take their meals at the wine-shop at the corner; or gossiping with the porters, male and female, while the one followed closely his usual trade as a cobbler, and the other attended to her soup.

Then my brother came up, we exchanged a few words, and entered the car together.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
