This morning I saw a star twinkling just over the fore-yard, the first since the beginning of May. There is considerable discontent among the crew, many of whom are anxious to get back home to be in time for the herring season, when labour always commands a high price upon the Scotch coast.

As tense, short story Westerns go, W.C. Tuttle's "Spawn of the Desert", set in the 1850s rugged Southwest mountains, is a splendid, fast-paced example of the classic genre of tales of gold and silver mining towns run by ruthless men, and inhabited by an eclectic population of miners, gamblers, gunmen, drunks, hardscrabble women, and the obligatory "colorful" characters. Tuttle (1883-1969) was one of the most prolific Western writers of his day, with more than 40 novels and short stories to his credit.

"Il Trafficante d'Amore" è una storia avvincente, dolorosa, a tratti comica e certamente romantica che vede il suo inizio su una splendida spiaggia, dove un uomo sconsolato ed immerso nei suoi pensieri comincia a vagare con la fantasia volendosi forzatamente distrarre dagli ultimi dolori trascorsi di vita vissuta. Così, ascoltando le onde del mare e lasciandosi distrarre dai passanti comincia a perdersi nei suoi pensieri e nei ricordi delle storie delle donne avute, associando per gioco ad ognuna di esse uno dei cinque sensi.

Legrand, malhumorado, tomó el pergamino y lo examinó; finalmente guardó el pergamino en un cajón.
