  Chapter eleven. In nineteen nineteen, he was traveling on the railroads in Italy,
• 0:06
  carrying a square of oilcloth from the headquarters of the party, written in
• 0:11
  indelible pencil, and saying, here was a comrade who had suffered very much
• 0:16
  under the Whites in Budapest, and requesting comrades to aid him in any way.
• 0:21
  He used this instead of a ticket. He was very shy and quite
• 0:25
  young, and the trained men passed him on from one crew to another.
• 0:29
  He had no money, and they fed him behind the counter in railway eating
• 0:33
  houses. He was delighted with Italy, who was a beautiful country. He
• 0:38
  said, the people were all kind. He had been in many towns,
• 0:42
  walked much, and seen many pictures Giotto, Masaccio and Pierro de la Francesca.
• 0:48
  He bought reproductions of and carried them wrapped in a copy of Havante Montegna
• 0:55
  he did not like. He reported at Bologna, and I took him with
• 0:59
  me up into the Romagna, where it was necessary I go to see a
• 1:03
  man. We had a good trip together, was early September, and the
• 1:07
  country was pleasant. He was a mygar, a very nice boy, and
• 1:11
  very shy, Horthey's men had done some bad things to him. He talked
• 1:17
  about it a little. In spite of Italy. He believed altogether in the
• 1:21
  World Revolution. But how is the movement going in Italy? He asked,
• 1:26
  very badly. I said, but it will go better, he said,
• 1:30
  you have everything here. It is the one country that everyone is sure of.
• 1:34
  It will be the starting point of everything. At Bologna he said good
• 1:38
  bye to us, to go on to the train to Malamo and then to
• 1:42
  Ajusta, to walk over the pass into Switzerland. I spoke to him about
• 1:48
  the Montegnas and Milano. No, he said, very shyly, did not
• 1:53
  like Mantegna. I wrote out for him where to eat him, Milamo and
• 1:57
  the addresses of comrades. He thanked me very much, but his mind was
• 2:01
  already looking forward to walking over the pass. He was very eager to walk
• 2:06
  over the pass while the weather held good. The last I heard of him,
• 2:09
  the Swiss hat him in jail nearer Sion. End of chapter eleven.
