Already long, shadowy fingers were\u003cbr\u003ereaching down the valleys across which the railroad track meandered.\u003cbr\u003eFar to the left, out of an opalescent sea, rose the fairy-like Lipari\u003cbr\u003eIslands, and in the farthest distance Stromboli lifted its smoking\u003cbr\u003econe above the horizon. On the landward side of the train, as it\u003cbr\u003ereeled and squealed along its tortuous course, were gray and gold\u003cbr\u003eSicilian villages perched high against the hills or drowsing among\u003cbr\u003efields of artichoke and sumac and prickly pear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo one familiar with modern Sicilian railway trains the journey\u003cbr\u003eeastward from Palermo promises no considerable discomfort, but\u003cbr\u003etwenty-five years ago it was not to be lightly undertaken--not to be\u003cbr\u003eundertaken at all, in fact, without an unusual equipment of patience\u003cbr\u003eand a resignation entirely lacking in the average Anglo-Saxon. It was\u003cbr\u003enot surprising, therefore, that Norvin Blake, as the hours dragged\u003cbr\u003ealong, should remark less and less upon the beauties of the island and\u003cbr\u003emore and more upon the medieval condition of the rickety railroad\u003cbr\u003ecoach in which he was shaken and buffeted about. He shifted himself to\u003cbr\u003ean easier position upon the seat and lighted a cheroot; for although\u003cbr\u003ethis was his first glimpse of Sicily, he had watched the same villages\u003cbr\u003ecome and go all through a long, hot afternoon, had seen the same\u003cbr\u003egroves of orange and lemon and dust-green olive-trees, the same fields\u003cbr\u003eof Barbary figs, the same rose-grown garden spots, until he was\u003cbr\u003eheartily tired of them all. He felt at liberty to smoke, for the only\u003cbr\u003eother occupant of the compartment was a young priest in flowing mantle\u003cbr\u003eand silk beaver hat.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145675391216,"sku":"2940013427754","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013427754_p0.jpg?v=1763580808","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013427754","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
