Text Appearing Before Image:
etown, where perforce we have to lodge, lies somedistance away, and it will be necessary to order aCarriage to meet you at the Station from the littleDelia Rosa Inn in Orbetello, otherwise you mayfind yourself stranded for an hour or so in a veryinhospitable and dreary spot.
