Below — . . . and little cars with big horns ft INCNELM ' s home town. Over thirty days of grated parmesan and grated nerves. Towards the end we had found every 100-lire-a-heer parlor in town and we spun spaghetti into a spoon so deftly we took the napkins out from under our chins. And we spoke, Joe! From quanta costa to sold for a carton of Pall Malls we breathed American cigarette smoke into merchants ' faces to lessen price resistance. We made one-hand-on-the-door last offers for half hours at a time. We wound up paying only double local prices. But no one could say we didn ' t buy wisely. Pasted mosaics that dissolved in water. Cameo lamps to light the cockroaches to the spud locker. Paper cutters, cut glass bowls, kid gloves, portraits of wives. And enough musical cigarette boxes to stock a chainsmoking R ussian through two 5-year plans. When we weren ' t buying we were dodging. Guide service to Pompeii or Amalfi. Hustling pedestrians. Small cars with big horns. And if those small car drivers weren ' t dodging the law . . . the Italian law ought to be revised. The last remnant from the days of the Grand Tour is the saying See Naples and die! From the King ' s Palace to the ZigZag to the Opera House to the Snake Pit and Moulin Rouge we saw it. It was no natural death. We were slaugh- tered.
