The glasses people wear all have to be ground and polished in much the same fashion; opera glasses, magic lanterns, and every contrivance for bringing distant objects nearer or making them larger are dependent for their power upon glass lenses." "Even when making glass I never dreamed it could be used for so many different purposes," answered Giusippe.
You shall be housekeeper for Giusippe and me, little girl, and shall make out of these four walls a real home. That is what your new Aunt Ethel is to do for your Uncle Bob." "I know it," answered Jean softly. "Even Uncle Bob couldn't get on without some one to look after him, could he?" "No," answered Mr. Curtis, "and it is fortunate he has found some one if you are to be my housekeeper.
In future when you and Giusippe talk glass-making I can at least be a bit more intelligent. I think, too, I appreciate now how wonderful it was that the Egyptians, Persians, and Syrians discovered in those far-off days how to make glass. I am not at all sure, Giusippe, that when we go to Pittsburgh I shall not steal your trade and apply to Uncle Tom for a place in his factory." Mr.
Cabot, Miss Jean, and good Hannah will not themselves tell you how kind they have been, so I myself must tell it," said the boy. "And now I go with them to find a position in America that by hard work I may some time be able to repay them for their goodness to me." Miss Cartright nodded thoughtfully. At last she said: "If you should come to New York I want to see you, Giusippe.
"For all the world like a pan of fudge!" declared Jean. Giusippe laughed. "I guess you would find it the stickiest, heaviest fudge you ever tried to manage," said he. The instant the mass of soft metal was on the table a roller of cast-iron was passed very swiftly back and forth over it, spreading it to uniform thickness, and at the same time flattening it.
There might be something I could do to help you. Anyway, I should want to have a glimpse of you. And if you do not come and Mr. Cabot does, perhaps, since he knows how fond of you I am and how much I am interested in your welfare, he will come and tell me how you are getting on." She drew from her purse a card which she handed to the lad. "Perhaps I'd better take it, Giusippe," Mr.
"Almost," echoed Uncle Bob. "But you are coming to New York to see me some time, Jean dear," the girl said with her eyes far on the horizon. "You know your uncle has promised that when you go to Pittsburgh both you and Giusippe are to stop and visit me for a few days." "Yes, I have not forgotten; it will be lovely, too," replied Jean.
You can save both my time and my strength. I like you and I believe you like me; that is half the battle in working with any one. We will send to your uncle's for your trunk and whatever else you have." "There isn't much else but some books," answered Giusippe. "I have been buying a few from time to time as I could afford them." "Box them up and send them over. Send everything.
I have no more mind to lose her than you have. No one knows how I love that child! I'd no more let her leave my home than I would cut off my right hand," was Mr. Cabot's vehement reply. "The boy is a splendid fellow, too," Hannah went on. "He has the makings of a fine man, Mr. Bob." "Yes. Giusippe is a very unusual lad.
"It is simply wonderful," said Giusippe. "Even at Murano there is nothing to equal this." "I thought you, who knew so much of glass-making, would appreciate what such a collection represents in knowledge, toil, and skill. Furthermore it is beautiful, and for that reason alone is well worth seeing," answered Mr. Cabot. "It is wonderful!" repeated the Italian lad.
