JAMES E. FREEMAN
...James Freeman was doing his best to help Nicholas
Brown to protect Americans in the city, encouraging them for example to fly
flags off their balconies. Turning now into the labyrinth of narrow streets in
the direction of the Consulate, which was none other than Brown’s private
apartment, he was thinking about his wife and if she was safe enough there in
Florence, when he nearly collided with Eleonora Serlupi.
“But what are you doing here?” he exclaimed, giving her a fond hug. “Rome’s too dangerous, Eleonora. Oudinot is committing atrocities.”
