Evidence: | Ruskin on two American girls on train between Venice and Verona: "'...they had French novels, lemons, and lumps of sugar to beguile their state with; the novels hanging together by the ends of string that had once stitched them, or adhering at the corners in densely bruised dog's ears, out of which the girls, wetting their fingers, occasionally extracted a gluey leaf.'" |
