      A grim tale of torture, and the blind men who were chained to pillars in an underground cave

      The man tried his best to sell me the house. He was confident that I would like it. Repeatedly he called my attention to the view.

      There was something in what he said about the view. The villa on the top of a mountain commanded a vision of the valley, vine-clad and cottage-studded. It was an irregular bowl of green, dotted with stone houses which were whitewashed to almost painful brilliancy.

      The valley was three and a third miles at its greatest width. Standing at the front door of the house, an expert marksman with telescopic sight could have placed a rifle bullet in each of the white marks of cottages. They nestled like little pearls amid a sea of green grape-vines.

      There is one like that in Brussels and another in Madrid. But this is very fine. However, I referred to running water in a modern bathroom.

      But why bathe when you can sit here and enjoy the view?

      He was impossible. So, I wrote a check, took his bill of sale and became the owner of a mountain, topped by a stone house that seemed to be half ruin. But he did not know, and I did not tell him that
