Text on source
Dissi in qualche pagina addietro, che giovani queste femmine, potrebbero passare per non sproviste di qualche bellezza, quantunque la loro tinta sia bruna, e perfino l'accento della pronuncia Araba riesce in bocca ad esse non tutto affatto aspro, ne sprezzatile anzi la lingua araba acquista all'opposto un certo qual suono armonico nelle loro labbra.
