What’s the name of the town? someone called, and without delay a second voice called back, Dendron ! True enough 1 So it turned out to be Dendron, a small town that had flourished a thousand years before and then had disappeared with the passing of time, until, like Rome, it was buried by centuries of debris.

The mayor, one of the diggers answered breathlessly. Here he is! Take a look! Oh, what a handsome man ! several of the ladies sighed. What was his name? one gazer wished to know.
