The one merit of Sanguinetti's before the fire was the fact that all the regular customers were unaffected and natural. They came from the factories, canneries, shops, and drays, and after a week of heart-breaking work this was their one relaxation and they enjoyed it to the full.
And we'll go to dinner at Coppa's and Sanguinetti's, and come over to Sausalito for picnics, we'll have wonderful times! You'll see!" "I adore you," said Billy, irrevelantly. "Well," Susan said, "I hope you do! But I'll tell you something I've been thinking, Billy," she resumed dreamily, after a silence. "And pwhats dthat, me dar-r-rlin'?"
In fact if one were squeamish about such things Sanguinetti's was no place for him or her. One found one's self talking and laughing with the people about as if they were old friends. It made no difference how you were dressed, nor how dignified you tried to be, it was all one with the crowd around the tables.
"The long cassock, the long cassock," growled Santobono, despite himself; "that's all very well, but " Then he stopped short, and, again overcoming his passion, left his sentence unfinished. Pierre, listening in silence, marvelled at the man's self-restraint, for he remembered the conversation which he had overheard at Cardinal Sanguinetti's.
It was found that Sanguinetti's was two inches longer than any of the other three. "It is the usual length in Italy," said Sanguinetti with a shrug. "If monsieur had realized that he was no longer in Italy, we might perhaps have been spared this very foolish business," answered Garnache testily. "But what are we to do?" cried the perplexed Gaubert. "Fight," said Garnache impatiently.
What serene audacity it was on Sanguinetti's part to have dared to present himself in that house, and what strength of soul there must be on Boccanera's part, what empire over himself, to prevent all scandal by remaining silent and accepting the visit as a simple mark of esteem and affection! What could they be saying to one another, however?
"Good night, mother. I'll be home to-night, but rather late." "Thank you for small favors " but Kate was gone. Sanguinetti's held a place in the old city no less definite than that of Zinkand's or the Poodle Dog.
If you wished to stay there in comfort you had to be one of them, and dignity had to be left outside or it would make you so uncomfortable that you would carry it out, to an accompaniment of laughter and jeers of the rest of the diners. So far as eating was concerned that was not one of the considerations when discussing Sanguinetti's.
Whilst speaking Boccanera's face had clouded over, and it was with increased sternness of manner that he again waited. He was aware that the priest had become Sanguinetti's "client" since the latter had been in the habit of spending weeks together at his suburban see of Frascati.
"The long cassock, the long cassock," growled Santobono, despite himself; "that's all very well, but " Then he stopped short, and, again overcoming his passion, left his sentence unfinished. Pierre, listening in silence, marvelled at the man's self-restraint, for he remembered the conversation which he had overheard at Cardinal Sanguinetti's.
