A Visit to the Holy Land

CHAPTER XVII
13/23

Our host at once despatched to every guest a bill of fare for breakfast and dinner, so that each one can choose what he wishes, without being cheated as to the prices.

The keepers here are very obliging and attentive; they almost all know something of Italian, and execute any commission with which they are entrusted punctually and well.

The building for the incarcerated ones is situate on an elevated plateau.

It has two large wings, one on each side, one story high, containing apartments each with a separate entrance.
Adjoining the courtyard is the inn, and not far from it the church; neither, however, may be visited by the new-comers.

The requisite provisions are procured for them by a keeper, who takes them to the purchasers.
