"Davvero?" An expression of intense pleasure, and of something more of pride had come into her face. She could not divest herself imaginatively of her conception of him as a rich forestiere, and she saw herself placed high above "the other girls," turned into a lady. "Magari!" she murmured, drawing in her breath, then breathing out. "You would be happy if I did that?" "Magari!" she said again.
Maurice did not know it, but the fisherman had caught sight of his comrades of Catania drinking in a roadside wine-shop, and had stopped to show them the note for a hundred francs, and to make them understand the position of affairs between him and the forestiere. Gaspare was talking eagerly to Amedeo about the things that were likely to be put up for sale at the auction.
But the man, a fisherman of Marechiaro, was already gone, and the doctor saw only the narrow, deserted street, black with the shadows of the tall houses. He drew in quickly and began to dress himself with some expedition. An accident, and to a forestiere! There would be money in this case.
They might all be artists, but they were of a hundred opinions as to the exact meaning of right and wrong, and they could wrangle over mediums until the German student looked up in reproof from his columns of advertisements and the Romans shrugged their shoulders at the curious manners and short tempers of the forestiere.
In the first period of humanity, they provided for all his wants: they furnished him wood for warmth, fruits for food, garments to cover his nakedness, arms for his defence." Etudes sur l'Economie Forestiere, p. 13.

'But do you know my daughter by sight? Surely you you must mean some one else. 'Do I know the signora's daughter? said the waiter.

I tell the signora, I saw her carried into numero 4, in the arms of the Signor Forestiere, who arrived this morning. 'Venetia is ill, said Lady Annabel.
Here the common people resort to wash their clothes, and with great laughter and merriment amuse themselves while at their work by improvising verses, sometimes with rhyme, sometimes without, at the expense of each other, or perhaps of the passerby, particularly if he happen to be a gaping forestiere, to whom their language is unintelligible.
Unconcerned at the progress of the world without, unspoiled by the gold of the forestiere, the Procidani pursue the even tenor of their old-fashioned ways, unenvious of and unenvied by their neighbours on the mainland. “O fortunatos nimium, sua si bona nôrint, Agricolas!”
Even your Paris, Emilio, with all its theatres, its cocottes, its restaurants no, it is not Naples. No wonder the forestiere come here. In Naples they are free. They can do what they will. They know we shall not mind. We are never shocked." "And do you think we are easily shocked in Paris?" "No, but it is not the same. You have not Vesuvius there. You have not the sea, you have not the sun."
