Looking at her yellow skin and her wrinkles and her coarse hands, one wondered whether she was fifty, or sixty, or one hundred, as is the way with Italian women of Tina's class at thirty-five. Ah, the signora was tired! She smiled pityingly. Tired! Not at all, Mary Gowd assured her briskly. She knew that Tina despised her because she worked like a man. "Something fine for supper?"
'We only wanted to make Tina feel at home, giggled Angela. 'It would be no matter, pursued Clement, 'if it were merely quizzing myself. I am used to that; but this is trenching on sacred ground. 'Bless me, your old white beam! exclaimed Angela, with an affected start. 'It is exceedingly improper and irreverent, said Wilmet. 'I am ashamed that such a thing should have been done in this house.
We revealed Ourself unto thee at one time upon Mount Tíná, and at another time upon Mount Zaytá, and yet again in this hallowed Spot. Following, however, thy corrupt inclinations, thou didst fail to respond and wert accounted with the heedless. Consider, then, and call thou to mind the time when Muḥammad came with clear tokens from Him Who is the Almighty, the All-Knowing.
Now, when Johnnie had been mayor ten years or so he married Tina, and on their wedding morning they went to see the dragon. He had grown quite tame, and his rusty plates had fallen off in places, and underneath he was soft and furry to stroke. So now they stroked him. And he said, "I don't know how I could ever have liked eating anything but bread and milk.
"And if ever I am mayor," said Johnnie, "I will give a banquet, and you shall be invited. And we'll have nothing but sweet things from beginning to end." All the children promised, and next morning Tina and Johnnie rolled their big washing tub down the winding stair. "What's that noise?" asked the dragon. "It's only a big giant breathing," said Tina, "He's gone by now."
"We'd like to ask you to reconsider your firing us," said Tina. "We have some good ideas for the Blister." "Get out," said the Vice President. The next day all the executives met at a regularly scheduled administrative meeting, where there seemed to be some confusion and delay in getting started. Finally, the President of the company spoke up.
'I was over there in England and I went blind. 'But there was the glory first. We heard of it here, even here I and Binat; and thou hast used the head of Yellow 'Tina she is still alive so often and so well that 'Tina laughed when the papers arrived by the mail-boats. It was always something that we here could recognise in the paintings.
She had not remained thus waiting for her lover longer than a minute though from the tension of her nerves the lapse of even that short time was trying when, instead of the expected footsteps, the stage- coach could be heard descending the hill. She knew that Tina would not show himself till the road was clear, and waited impatiently for the coach to pass.
Now she shrugged philosophic shoulders. Tina stole hairpins, opened letters that she could not hope to decipher, rummaged bureau drawers, rifled cupboards and fingered books; but then, so did most of the other Tinas in Rome. What use to complain? Mary Gowd opened the thumb-marked letter, bringing it close to the candlelight. As she read, a smile appeared. "Huh! Gregg," she said, "Americans!"
Tina uttered this as the bitterest sarcasm her ideas would furnish her with, not having the faintest suspicion that the sarcasm derived any of its bitterness from truth.
