It was a walk of two miles, and the evening was wet, but the days were still long; I visited a shop or two, slipped the letter into the post-office, and came back through heavy rain, with streaming garments, but with a relieved heart.
Aveva da fare due miglia e la serata era umida. Andai in due o tre botteghe, impostai la lettera e me ne tornai sotto una pioggia dirotta.
