Pisa's three arched stone ones made a reason for settling there in themselves in our opinion.

And we had to admit that for the size of the houses there weren't very many people about.

The Lungarno was almost empty except for desolate cabmen, and they were just as eager and hospitable to us and our trunks as they had been in Genoa.
In the Piazza del Duomo we expected the Cathedral, the Leaning Tower, the Baptistry, and the Campo Santo.

We did not expect Mrs.Portheris; at least, neither of my parents did--I knew enough about Dicky Dod not to be surprised at any combination he might effect.
