In alcune province si trovano case la cui vista ispira una malinconia simile a quella dei chiostri più tetri, delle lande più desolate, delle rovine più tristi: in queste case vi sono forse qualche volta e il silenzio del chiostro, e l'aridità delle lande, e le rovine. Vita e movimento vi sono così tranquilli che un forestiero le riterrebbe inabitate, se d'un tratto non incontrasse lo sguardo smorto e freddo di una persona immobile, la cui figura, mezzo monastica, sporge da parapetto della finestra al rumore di un passo insolito.
