'I hope the gentleman that's coming to-day is a nice quiet one, she went on, as if Abel were a pony. 'And I hope the lady singer is not a contralto.
The cornets of the bersaglieri rejoiced the captain like the announcement of a triumphal entry. "She's going to come! She's going to come at any moment!..."
