Its good to see reason has overtaken superstition. Professore Stern made the correct decision purifying the air... not the water. Those bonfires will save the day.
My dear Doctor, were you not so charming your thick-headed attitude when it comes to the possibility that the fever is carried by "tiny insects in lagoons (mosquitos in standing water) as observed, given respect, heeded and published in the 1600s would try my patience.
However, you can't be faulted. You are a European male of the 18th century and are of the opinion that "indigenous people" of non-European descent are backwards and ignorant and therefore to be ignored.
The Professore showed excellent judgement: he lit the bonfires, he brought in vinegar for washing AND he drained the standing water. One covers ones bases . . . but that is something that a woman knows from birth and a man only learns through patience as he finds the world contains much that to discover.
To happy times and celebration of the new life in Sorrentina!
