At the weekend, the Gorse Fox was walking along the banks of the River Arno between Ponte Vecchio and San Trinite. As appears common, traffic hurtled along the narrow street and people tightrope-walked along the narrow footpath. The Gorse Fox edged out and overtook and elderly matron and her husband. A Chicago growl rose from the matron:
“I’m surprised we don’t see more bodies on the street” she opined.
“Dat’s because they chuck dem in de river” responded her husband, sounding like Jimmy Durante.
She snorted, and moved on.
