That night he went to sleep with his arm thrown round Tuttu's neck, his curly head resting against his shoulder and though Tuttu was cramped and uncomfortable, and his thumb pained him, he remained heroically still until he also dropped asleep, and the two little brothers dreamed peacefully of pleasant things until the morning.
Tuttu was not killed, however. Tutti was allowed to ride home in the cart, and sat holding Tuttu's hand, his eyes round with solemnity, the traces of tears still on his cheeks.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" shouted the driver but it was too late! The gig flew on, and Tuttu lay white and quiet, the scaldino still grasped in his two little outstretched hands. "Where's the scaldino, grandmother?" were Tuttu's first words, when he woke up to find himself lying on a little bed in a long room, with Maddalena and Father Giacomo bending over him.
"You go on, Tutti." "I think Tuttu's said everything," commenced Tutti in a whisper. "But please keep us out of the pond, and make us grow so that we can be artillery; and take us home safe, for the road's rather long, and we've never been there alone, and there's oxen about." "You shouldn't say that, Tutti," said Tuttu, reprovingly. "Oxen won't hurt you, and you shouldn't be a coward."
It had to be constantly wrenched out, with many apologies, by its owner; while the person who had been nearly tripped up by it, went on his or her way grumbling. No one did more than grumble, however, for the look of horror on Tuttu's face was irresistible. "Go on, Tutti; do hurry!" he cried, urgently. "I'm getting so hot with this horrible umbrella.
Then, at the end of the month a whole month, mind! we might take it up to grandmother." Father Giacomo highly approved of this idea, and encouraged the children by every means in his power; so that, for more than three weeks, the beans went in regularly and the halfpence in Tuttu's store, which he kept like a magpie hidden away in a crack of the woodwork, increased rapidly.
