All the English are simpatici. Come this way, signore! Gaspare knows me. Gaspare knows that I am not birbante." "Signorino! Signorino! Look at this clock! It plays the 'Tre Colori. It is worth twenty-five lire, but I will make a special price for you because you love Sicily and are like a Siciliano. Gaspare will tell you " But Gaspare elbowed away his acquaintances roughly.
"We will wait we will not disturb them." Gaspare looked down at the parcel he was holding with such anxious care. "I would like to play the 'Tre Colori," he said. "I would like the first thing the signora hears when she wakes to be the 'Tre Colori." "Hush! We must be very quiet." The noise made on the path by the tripping feet of the donkeys was almost intolerable to him.
He made a grimace, with earnest, heart-felt sincerity. "It cannot be helped. To-night we will explain everything and make the signora quite happy. Look here! Buy something for her. Buy her a present at the auction!" "Signorino!" Gaspare cried. "I will give her the clock that plays the 'Tre Colori'! Then she will be happy again. Shall I?" "Si, si. And meet me in the market-place.
Gaspare seized the clock, turned a handle, lifted his hand in a reverent gesture bespeaking attention; there was a faint whirr, and then, sure enough, the tune of the "Tre Colori" was tinkled blithely forth. "Ecco!" repeated Gaspare, triumphantly. "Mamma mia!" murmured Maddalena, almost exhausted with the magic of the fair. "It's wonderful!" said Maurice.
