In Naples they sell them by the slice in the street, the fruiterer carrying a board on his head with the slices arranged in an upright coronal like the rich, barbaric head-dress of some savage prince.
"Roman Holidays and Others"
W. D. Howells
It was a fruiterer's stall, and the owner, seeing his exhaustion, offered him some slices of a water-melon for his refreshment.

John Henry Cardinal Newman

"Renée Mauperin"
Edmond de Goncourt and Jules de Goncourt
