From Damiano by R.A. MacAvoy (1983, Bantam Books, New York):

"By John the Baptist and by John the Evangelist and by John the Best Beloved!-- if they are indeed three different Johns -- this is magnificent!" He clambered down the slope, showering snow. "A good night's sleep, a full stomach, and the road spreading before us like a Turkey carpet! Were it not for the plight of the citizens of Partestrada, I would have nothing else to desire!"

Macchiata peered up at Damiano, her brown eyes puzzled, a lump of snow on her muzzle. "But you could have slept in the cave anytime, Master. You didn't need to be thrown out of your house to do it."
