atafimi, un cicerone fait deja sa fortune en racontant aux touristes
les details veridiques du combat de Calatafimi et du debarquement a
Marsala. Enfin, depuis que le _Lombardo_ a ete renfloue et ramene a
Palerme, on se demande si les evenements passes ne sont point un reve,
et a la _Pointe-aux-Blagueurs_, il n'y a pas de jours que l'histoire du
debarquement ne soit racontee six fois au moins. Quant au _padre_
capucin dont il est question dans le premier chapitre, les mauvaises
langues pretendent qu'apres s'etre battu comme un Bayard et avoir rosse
l'ennemi comme un Duguesclin a Calatafimi, a Parco, a Palerme, a
Milazzo, a Reggio et autres lieux; apres etre entre triomphalement
couvert de fleurs et couronne dans la bonne ville de Naples, il est
piteusement revenu un beau matin, licencie parle souverain de son choix
avec bon nombre de ses freres d'armes!
_Sic transit gloria mundi._
