Have you told Sabina what I said?
gpt
Yes.

Of course you agree, my child?
gpt
Certainly, Sabina answered, with perfect self-possession.

I think it was by far the most sensible we could do. Signor Malipieri will come to see us, as if he and I were really engaged.
gpt
Yes, assented the Princess.
human
You cannot go on calling him Signor Malipieri when we are together in the family, my dear. What is your Christian name?
gpt
Marino.

I did not know, Sabina said, with truth, and looking at him, as if she had found something new to like in him.
gpt
Is he to call me Sabina, mother?
human
Naturally. Well, my dear Marino--
gpt
I shall call you so, too. It looks better before people, you know. You must leave a card for the ambassador, at the porter's, when you go downstairs, He is going to ask you to dinner, with a lot of our relations, to announce the engagement. I have arranged it all beautifully--he is so kind!
