The morning was very clear and blue. We were up betimes. The old
dame1 of the inn very friendly this morning. We were going already! Oh, but we hadn’t stayed long in Nuoro. Didn’t we like it?
Yes, we like it. We would come back in the summer when it was warmer.
Ah yes, she said, artists came in the summer. Yes, she agreed, Nuoro was a nice place—simpatico, molto simpatico. And really it is. And really she was an
awfully2 nice, capable, human old woman: and I had thought her a beldame when I saw her ironing.
She gave us good coffee and milk and bread, and we went out into the town. There was the real Monday morning atmosphere of an old, same-as-ever
provincial3 town: the vacant feeling of work resumed after Sunday, rather reluctantly; nobody buying anything, nobody quite at grips with anything. The doors of the old-fashioned shops stood open: in Nuoro they have hardly reached the stage of window-displays. One must go inside, into the dark caves, to see what the goods are. Near the
doorways4 of the drapers’ shops stood rolls of that fine
scarlet5 cloth, for the women’s costumes. In a large tailor’s window four women sat sewing, tailoring, and looking out of the window with eyes still Sunday-emancipate and
mischievous6. Detached men, some in the black and white, stood at the street corners, as if
obstinately7 avoiding the current of work. Having had a day off, the salt taste of liberty still lingering on their lips, they were not going to be dragged so easily back into harness. I always sympathise with these rather sulky, forlorn males who insist on making another day of it. It shows a spark of spirit, still holding out against our over-harnessed world.
There is nothing to see in Nuoro: which, to tell the truth, is always a relief. Sights are an irritating bore. Thank heaven there isn’t a bit of Perugino or anything Pisan in the place: that I know of. Happy is the town that has nothing to show. What a lot of
