"Well, I hadn't taken quite as long a leap. I only meant we might drive
back to Siena."
She relapsed listlessly against her tree-trunk. "Oh, Siena's hotter than
this."
"We could go and sit in the cathedral--it's always cool there at
sunset."
"We've sat in the cathedral at sunset every day for a week."
"Well, what do you say to stopping at Lecceto on the way? I haven't
shown you Lecceto yet; and the drive back by moonlight would be
glorious."
This woke her to a slight show of interest. "It might be nice--but where
could we get anything to eat?"
