They were obviously Americans, I could hear their voices as the party wandered around our tomb; to judge by the voices, they might have been stenographers from Cleveland. Oh, isn't it lovely? Oh, is this the Campagna? Oh, how lovely it is here!
The narrative depicts a scene where a group of Americans is exploring a tomb, their voices betraying their origins. The mention of their excitement over the beauty around them suggests a superficial appreciation for the landscape and culture, likening their reactions to those of tourists who may lack a deeper understanding of the significance of their surroundings.
The characters' expressions of delight, such as marveling at the Campagna's beauty, highlight a contrast between the depth of history present at the tomb and their seemingly trivial observations. This illustrates a disconnect between the visitors and the historical context of their environment, emphasizing the often fleeting and superficial nature of tourist experiences.
