Even human beings notice a difference In their feelings Just before a storm, especially If they are troubled with rheumatism or other of a like nature.

Its painted houses of red, blue and yellow, built close to the narrow streets, have grated windows and besvy, forbidding doors, which, gift little evidence of the charming interiors with their patios, filled with exotic flowers and cooled by fountain.
