...playwright Gabriele d'Annunzio mounted to the prow of the desiccated Italian battleship Puglia, which the Fascist Government has had placed upon the lawn of his estate at Lake Garda, Italy. From that vantage point he exulted in the threats which Mussolini had loosed at Rome. Raising his right arm straight before him at an angle of 45 degrees (the Fascist salute), he gave the signal for a salute of 27 guns, which promptly boomed from the cannon of the Puglia...

They fell all around me with monotonous little explosions, tum-tat-tat-tum. ... It was rain on the roof. . . . No tennis today, I thought, and went to sleep again till 11 o'clock. . . .
