AtD translation: Calvary Hill

[Joseph Tracy]

Reef is working on the tunnel from the Italian Domodossala side because of  trouble with hot springs on the Swiss Grigue side. He sees Ruperta Groin again( not since New Orleans). and she is staying at the Hôtel de la Ville et Poste, which is either A french hotel with a french postal service( these are fancy resort towns with German, Italian and French native speakers and tourists from all over) or probably with a joke name. 
    Ruperta is fucking miners at what they call Calvary Hill  and this clearly refers to  the Mount Calvary Church in Domodossola grounds  or the hill it is on overlooking the town.( Nice work Jochen) There may be a joke in here about Ruperta’s public ‘availability’ possibly ‘coupled’ with a certain irreverent reference to calvary and recalling the crucifixion like murder of Webb and also of Lake being screwed in the four directions at the 4 corners. But most readers barring French speakers and travelers will not be getting the joke or the references and won’t be missing too much.
