Smalland modest as it was, it was his own; he was in debt to no man, and hadno rent to pay. This sweet feeling of independence quite made up for thetiring climb that the corpulent little owner had to take twice a day upthe steep "River, " as the street was called. The road bore this name (aseverybody knows who has visited Syra), because it had been the bed of astream that used to carry the winter rains from the mountain to the sea. In fact, the water runs down the street to this day, and in the... wetseason it becomes a raging torrent. Although the rocks and stones thatonce lined its sides have given place to houses, with their doors raisedhigh above the flood, the origin of the street and the reason for itsname are obvious enough even now. Fortunately, rains are rare in Syra, but when they do fall, the "River"is often impassable; at such times the professor could reach his houseonly by zigzags through the side streets, and there were days when allcommunication was cut off, and he had to stay shut up at home.
