"Yes, when I'm old enough, and when I own a knife, I'm going to marry her." The Emperor opened his eyes wide, and said, "Why do you need a knife?" "Surely," answered the boy, earnestly, "if I have no knife I cannot cut, and if I cannot cut I can earn no money. My mother has always said that without money one cannot marry.
An old flat file can easily be ground into a suitable knife. The glass-knife makes a narrower scratch than the file but appears more likely to start the minute crack which is to cause the tube to break at that point, and the break is more likely to give a good square end.
It was known in the valley that the Mule had never used his knife, not even in self-defence. Caterina did not dare, however, to answer him. She only whispered a prayer to the Virgin. "Is it Pedro Casavel?" asked the Mule; and the question brought her to her feet, facing him with white cheeks. "No no no!" she cried. "What made you think that? Oh no!" Woman-like, she thought she could fool him.

The first point was to ascertain whether it was the cutter which had received the information; the second, who the informer was.
"You see," he exclaimed; holding up the volume, "you fellows said so much about the bally book that I wanted to see what it was like; so I untied the ribbon, and cut the leaves with the paper knife lying here, and found and found that there wasn't a single line in it, don't you know!" Blank consternation followed this announcement, which proved only too true.
The old woman shook her fist at him behind his back and cursed his dead under her breath. From Rome to Palermo, swear at a man if you please, call him by bad names, and he will laugh at you. But curse his dead relations or their souls, and you had better keep beyond the reach of his knife, or of his hands if he have no weapon. So the old woman was careful that Pietro Casale should not hear her.
