Two little ragged boys were playing a game upon the church steps, piling five chestnuts in a heap and then knocking them down with a small stone. One of them having upset the heap, desisted and came near the Prince. "That one is deaf," he said, pointing to the sacristan. Then running behind, him he stood on tiptoe and screamed in his ear "Brutta bestia!"
"Brutta bestia!" and she turned her back. The men laughed, and Rosina laughed with them as she knocked on a green painted door in the wall. It was opened by a burly, bearded man, tweed-clad, and swathed in a stained painting apron. "Oh, Professore, here is a friend of mine who wants work." "Come in," he said shortly, and they followed him into a large untidy studio.
When he was gone she said: "Brutta bestia, I forgot to look whether he was clean to-day." She and Maria declare that he is the only one of all my acquaintances who does not wear clean linen. This point of cleanliness is a mild obsession of Filomena's just now. She prides herself greatly on her cleanliness, and asks me every day whether she is clean or not.
Certainly she was marvellously good-looking. She had not only the beauty of colouring; she had also the more distinguished and lasting beauty of line. An Italian voice near to Craven remarked loudly, with a sort of coarse sentimentality: "Che bella ragassa!" Another Italian voice replied: "Ha ragione di venire qui con quella povera vecchia! Com'e brutta la vecchiezza!"
"La casa cosa parea bretta e brutta, Vinta dal vento; e la notta e la notte Stilla le stelle, ch' a tetto era tutto: Del pane appena ne dette ta' dotte. Pere avea pure, e qualche fratta frutta; E svina e svena di botto una botte Poscia per pesci lasche prese a l'esca; Ma il letto allotta a la frasca fu fresca."
