Lived, first at Terra Rossa, and afterwards upon the sea-shore at Quinto; begot children in number three Antonio, Battestina, and Domenico, the father of our Christopher; and died, because one of the two facts in his history is that in the year 1444 he was not alive, being referred to in a legal document as quondam, or, as we should say, "the late."
He was gone five hours, but returned with the farmer, and the farmer's tall eldest son; and the pair had brought a litter, in which to carry me home. The name of this good man was Bavarello Giacomo Bavarello and he lived with his wife Battestina in a house full of lean children and live-stock.

To be sure, he and his wife wore a smile for us, morning and evening and this, though I had a notion that Donna Battestina was of a saving disposition.

Uncle Antonio inherited the estate of Terra-Rossa, Aunt Battestina was married in the valley; and so no more of either of them; except that Antonio, who also married, had sons, cousins of Columbus, who in after years, when he became famous, made themselves unpleasant, as poor relations will, by recalling themselves to his remembrance and suggesting that something might be done for them.
