Excerpt from Stormlight, or the Nihilist's Doom: A Story of Switzerland and Russia These old places are huddled together on hilly ground, while the newer town has grown up around them, and the streets are for the most part level.

Calvin has left his stamp of bigotry upon them, and they are singularly intolerant and narrow-minded. As a people they are very mixed in their origin, Italy, France, and Germany being represented. Their sympathies are French, but they themselves are Genevese.
