OverviewExcerpt from The Long Night And to be grateful. The war with Savoy - Italian Savoy which, like an octopus, wreathed clutching arms about the free city of Geneva - had come to an end some months before. But a State so small that the frontier of its inveterate enemy lies but two short leagues from its gates, has need of watch and ward, and curfews and the like, so that he was fortunate who found the gates of Ge neva open after sunset in that year, 1602; and the stranger seemed to know this. As the great doors clanged together and two of the watch wound up the creaking drawbridge, he turned to the sergeant, the smile still on his face. I feared that you would shut me out I he panted, still holding his sides. I would not have given much - for my chance of a bed a minute ago.
