Now among the others there was a certain Guiglielmino da Medicina, who had been with Guidotto in that affair and knew very well whose house it was that he had plundered, and he, seeing the person in question there among the rest, accosted him, saying, 'Bernabuccio, hearest thou what Giacomino saith? 'Ay do I, answered Bernabuccio, 'and I was presently in thought thereof, more by token that I mind me to have lost a little daughter of the age whereof Giacomino speaketh in those very troubles. Quoth Guiglielmino, 'This is she for certain, for that I was once in company with Guidotto, when I heard him tell where he had done the plundering and knew it to be thy house that he had sacked; wherefore do thou bethink thee if thou mayst credibly recognize her by any token and let make search therefor; for thou wilt assuredly find that she is thy daughter.
