"Now," said Micio as we approached the chocolate shop, "we did rather well over the Arabian Nights saved seven francs do you think it would be extravagant if we were to have an ice to restore us after our struggles?" Of course I agreed, though I had not myself done any struggling, and, as we sat at our little table eating our ices, we talked about the theatre.
"No," he replied, "they call me Micio." "Why do they do that if your name is Domenico?" "Because they are all very fond of me. Domenico is my name as I said, but Micio is a caress." "I see; then may I also call you Micio?" "Of course you may, and I hope you will."
"Look out, Marzio!" exclaimed the lawyer, glancing from the vinegar cruet towards the door and then at his friend. "No such luck," returned the chiseller. "Nothing ever happens to those black-birds.

All the children of artists can do as well as she, but no one can really act who has not suffered.
