Papa and I have been bathing at the
Eldorado. We swam round the Castello until we were opposite your
windows, and sang 'Funiculi, funicula!' in the water, to serenade you.
Why didn't you hear us? Papa has a splendid voice, almost like
Tamagno's in the gramophone, when he sings the 'Addio' from 'Otello.'
Of course we kept a little out at sea. Papa is so easily recognized by
his red mustaches. But still you might have heard us."
"I did."
"Then why didn't you come unto the balcony, amico mio?"
"Because I thought you were street singers."
"Davvero? Papa would be angry. And he is in a bad temper to-day
anyhow."
"Why?"
"Well, I believe Gilda Mai is going to bring a /causa/ against
Viviano. Of course he won't marry her, and she never expected he
could. Why, she used to be a milliner in the Toledo. I remember it
perfectly, and now Sigismondo-- But it's really Gilda that has made
papa angry. You see, he has paid twice for me, once four thousand
lire, and the other time three thousand five hundred.
