  Part One: Chapter III--FERONIA
"Feronia was an old woman who went about begging in the country, yet she always had a gran pulitica--that is, she was intelligent or shrewd or very cunning in manners--and, as one would have believed, she was a witch.
Taking her altogether, Feronia appears to be exactly what such a goddess would naturally come to be in the minds of the people at a stage while they still believed in and feared her, and before she had sunk to a mere reminiscence in a Märchen.
One thing is apparent both in the ancient and modern Feronia, that she is, or was, a protector and friend of the poor, one of slaves and refugees, as now of paupers.
