Excerpt from Those Who Smiled: And Other Stories

From the great villa, marble-white amid its yews and cedars, in which the invaders had set up their headquarters, the two officers - the stout, formidable German captain and the young Austrian lieutenant went together through the mulberry orchards, where the parched grass underfoot was tiger-striped with alternate sun and shadow. The hush (if the after noon and the benign tyranny of the North Italian sun subdued them; they scarcely spoke as they came through the ranks of fruit-laden trees to the low embankment where the last houses of the village tailed out beside the road.
