Det ar vid S:ta Birgittas helg, den sjunde oktober. Hos oss, i Sverige, kallas denna eftersommar till foljd darutav for Brittsommar.

Patrizio nei dintorni di Pavia.

Daruppe var det ocks som de fem unga damer bodde, vilka runtom i kvarteret gick under benamningen flickorna i tjugutvan.Flickorna i tjugutvan sgo bra ut eller kanske rattare sagt, de agde detta obeskrivliga ngot, som vacker ett nyfiket intresse hos froken i mjolkboden, liksom hos herrarna i speceriaffaren, hos skomakaregubben likaval som hos slaktarbutikens expediter. Och and kande ingen av dessa personligen till ngon av dem. Inte mera an vad de kande sin ovriga kundkrets. Intresset for flickorna i tjugutvan harledde sig uteslutande av deras utseende och satt att rora sig samt av den nimbus av romantik, som alltid ungdom for med sig.
