Instead of dead relative:, there had beenI many lawsuits, Ioing and entangled; they went to law for Spite, for resentleitt, for angcr; they kept at law witi that obstinate delight in litigationl which is one of the jOyS of provincial life.

How the enmity he, tween the Pasquali and the l)ericc'a families had been causedtl coulii not be clearly learned; aflirinations varied on one and the other side. But it, w\:ts a deep and declared enmity. Being neighbors in town and in the cou:11ry, they frequently met, looking askance at each other; the wome.n heard mass in two different churches; if the D:"r: Ca girls wore blue gowns, the Pas quali girls at once put on p111k ones; in the municipal ouincil the P'asqulii wvere always (onservait ive andc thle D)ericca, natur ialIly, radical ; that whi i one did thie ot her woul not have do;me for a t houisand seniol whler'e one 10w(lnt thle o1ter dlid not1 appearili.
