Annetta was glad of the opportunity to laugh at last. "Old? Eh, on Sunday, when you have on those new black trousers of yours that are tight, tight you seem to me a boy as young as Gigetto. For my part, I should prefer you. You are more serious. Gigetto! What must I say? He is handsome, he may be good, but he has not a head. There is nothing in that pumpkin."
"Because Gigetto would take your father's gun, since he has none of his own. That would be enough. We should have done it!" Annetta shrugged her shoulders and said nothing. "But take care," continued Sora Nanna. "Your father sleeps with one eye open. He sees you, and he sees also the Englishman every day. He says nothing, because he is good. But he has a fist like a paving-stone.
Annetta being absent, Gigetto had not thought it necessary to put in an appearance. But Sora Nanna wished to see him again about the wine. With a grin, she asked Dalrymple whether he would keep house if she went out for half an hour. Again he nodded in silence. He heard her lock from the inside the door which opened from the staircase upon the street, for it was already late.
When he was on the road between Subiaco and Rome, Gigetto, already mentioned, was supposed to represent him.
He showed no inclination to talk any more, and finished his supper in a rather morose silence, turning to his book as soon as he had done. Then Gigetto came in with his guitar and sang and talked with the two women. But he was restless that night, and did not fall asleep until the moon had set and his window grew dark.
"Then it is true that you have fallen in love with him?" asked Stefanone, his anger returning. "Him, or another. What does it matter to you? You remind me of the old woman who beat her cat, and then cried when it ran away. If you want me to stay at home, you had better find me a husband." "Do you want anything better than Gigetto? Apoplexy! But you have ideas!"
But as for going with her on such an expedition as a visit to a country fair, it was not to be expected of him. Nevertheless, Annetta had enjoyed herself thoroughly with her companions, and was very glad that Gigetto had not been at her elbow with his city notions of propriety, which he applied to her, but made as elastic as he pleased for himself.
