...first puritan: Harry Summers, an American major, who returns to liberated Rome after World War II as an art expert for UNESCO. Enter second puritan: his wife Jane, a Roman Catholic but, as she comes from Philadelphia, a puritan nonetheless. These two kill their principles to make a Roman honeymoon-not, however, with each other. The trouble with Harry is that he can only really enjoy himself if he knows he's being wicked. In Paris, he tries "laughing Simone from Marseille, a specialist in net underwear . . . and Mamai and Lisa and Danielle and Monique." His real fate, however...
