The guard who believed in the moth after returning my compliment about the cooking by saying I must be wrong to talk about my sins, for he was sure I had never committed any said that as to the kind of luck the moth would bring, Fortune would not submit to dictation, the most I could do to control her would be to look out farfalla notturna in the book and put a few soldi on the number in the next lottery.
After supper there came a large moth which fluttered about the lamp; one of the guards called it a "farfalla notturna," a nocturnal butterfly, and said it had come to bring us good fortune. Another of the men, who was of a sceptical temperament, said it might be so, but that in matters of this kind one never can be sure what one's fortune would have been if the moth had not come.
A momentary silence followed; then the washer-girls, making sure that he was not injured, broke into a shrill chorus of laughter, while the Farfalla rocked under impact of Giuseppe's mirth. The girl on the wall alone remained grave. The young man picked himself up, restored his guide-book to his pocket, and blushingly stepped forward, hat in hand, to make an apology.
