About this book

A narrator says he first saw the man who kept his money in a box in the midst of the ravine of the Via Mala, and became acquainted with him in the courtyard of Conradi's hotel at Chiavenna. The narrator saw that his friend with the weak throat was accompanied by two ladies, and observed that Miss Greene always called her step-mother mamma on the first approach of any stranger, so that the nature of the connection between them might be understood.

A man explains to the narrator that by pointing to his open mouth he had meant that he would be afraid of sore throat in exposing himself to the air of that damp and narrow passage. Mrs. Greene protests loudly that she has been robbed since she left the steamer, and is quite certain that the box had come on shore. The lady tells Greene to pay the gentleman his ten napoleons, and Mr. Greene undoes one of the rolls.
