Maybe it was because Ercole looked no more of a Neapolitan than I did myself, maybe it was because youth is ever blinded to what lies below the surface. I had yet to discover how great a power for evil - evil, calculating, cunning - may lurk beneath the smiling countenance, the flattering hand-grip of an inhabitant of Naples. With the folly of a fool I thought him a popinjay; and Providence, turning folly to the use of wisdom, repaid both him and me in fullest measure.
