Folks said he ate no meat and drank no wine, and that his food was simply ripe figs in the season, with coarserye bread and nuts. Then there was that funny old hunchback, ahundred years old at least, and stone-deaf, who took care of thegondola, spending the whole day, waiting for his master, washing thetrim, graceful, blue-black boat, arran
