He told me that an American signore had been Saying there for three months. “Is he a puinler or a waiter something?” 1 asked "No, sgnore, he's 4 gentleman.” Odd, T thought. No foreigners came to Positano at that time of year. I could not imagine anyone wishing to spend three months there: unless it was somebody who wanted to hide.
