"Yes; she is the widow of poor Giovanni Bolla, who died in England about four years ago, don't you remember? Ah, I forgot you lead such a wandering life; we can't expect you to know of all our unhappy country's martyrs they are so many!" Signora Grassini sighed.
You have been stealing the jewels of the signora; for aught I know, murdering her with those bloody hands, and now you want to bribe me to help you away! No. no. you shall not escape that I promise you." "Oh, Marcella, how shall I convince you that I am no impostor?
"But, Signora," said Gaspare, with the bluntness which in him was never rudeness, but merely the sincerity which he considered due to his Padrona due also to himself, "my Padrone was like a real Sicilian, and the Signorina is his daughter.

The vintage was suffering by his absence, and it was necessary that he should return at once. Signora Fantini poured out the most voluble exclamations, prayers and protests.

The large table was covered with a clean cloth, and soon after they brought in two huge dishes of polenta and an enormous pan full of chops.

"Who asked them?" said one. "What do they want?" said another.

The Signora Cadori, though still young, was already on the brink of the grave. The grief that preyed on her life, and especially the lamentable end of her first-born, had brought on paralysis. She could no longer move without assistance.
"Ye're an angel, only I won't listen to ye." "I don't say it as if I meant it," persisted the Signora. "It's evident I don't." "I still think it a pity," I said, "someone does not explain to Mrs. O'Kelly that a divorce would be the truer kindness." "It is difficult to decide," argued the Signora.
