The copper ladle with which the specimens were taken from the pots lay on the brick ledge near one of the 'boccas. Giovanni took it, looked round to see where the iron plate for testing was placed, and thrust the ladle into the aperture, holding it lightly lest the heat should hurt his hand. "You shall not do that!" cried Zorzi, who was already beside him.
He took his blow-pipe and thrust it through one of the 'boccas' to melt off the little red glass that adhered to it. Then he cooled it in water, and carefully removed the small particles that stuck to the iron here and there like spots of glazing. "I am ready," he said, when he had finished. Giovanni rose and led the way, without a word.
