UXSOR may be Latin, but it is the kind that is paid for, and not the spontaneous gift of classic Italy. The carriage next passed through Ferentino, _Ferentinum_ of the Volscians, where it stopped for a time to let Rocjean see the stone called _La Fata_, whereon is inscribed the noble generosity of Quintilius Priscus, who gave _crustula_ and _mulsum_ (cakes and mead) to the old people; _sportulae_ (cold victuals?) to the decurions, and _nucum sparsiones_ (a sprinkling of nuts) for the small children. After which antiquarian research, and a drink of wine at the _Hotel des Etrangeres_, the trio called loudly on Francesco to drive on; for the name of the inn suggested similar signboards, Hotel d'Angleterre, Hotel Vitoria, Hotel des Isles Brittaniques, at all of which one or other of our travellers had been savagely fleeced. The carriage at last arrived at the tavern, at the foot of the mountain on which Frosinone stands, and our artists found that the ascent must be made on foot: this, in the face of the broiling sun, was equal to two hot baths at least. However, they determined to take it easily, and accordingly tarried for a while by an old bridge crossing a small stream, running bright and clear, where cattle were drinking; then they stopped at the neighboring fountain, where the girls were filling copper water jars, and dusty contadini were washing themselves in order to present a clean face at the fair; and listened with pleasure to the hearty laughter and holiday jests bandied about with profusion. Thus in refreshed spirits they commenced the ascent.
