The Conquest of Rome (La Conquista Di Roma) (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from The Conquest of Rome (La Conquista Di Roma) But the man alone was not sleeping. He lay at full length on the cushions; his eyes were closed; one arm supported his neck, and the other hand was thrust within his coat. But his face had not the peaceful ex pression of repose, as the features were contracted in thought. After the train had begun to move again, and had passed out into the open country, the traveler opened his eyes and changed his position. Occasionally a thatched cottage, a little village, or a switch-tender's little hut ?ashed out against a dark background; while a path of fire was projected into the darkness, coming from the headlight of the locomotive, which appeared to throw a circle of dancing ?ames before it as it rushed along at full speed.
