It is good, _va_, to see the light in the Duomo! There is many a good candle burning for her at the shrine of Our Lady of Mercy, this night.

An' there were none for ourselves, we should find one for her!

Not a woman of our _casal_ but held a candle in her hand as we came in at the gate of the city; for the silkworms have given us silk and enough to spin this year; and if they had not, we would not grudge it to her. For she hath a smile like an angel. May our Holy Mother bless her for them both.

And beautiful--beautiful so that it warms the heart! Dost thou remember the day when she came out of the Duomo, beautiful as the Madonna herself--may our Blessed Lady in Heaven forgive me!--with a necklace and a crown flashing fire, that our Holy Mother of Jesus might wear on the Feast of the Annunciation?--and the smile on her face?--and the King beside her----? Ah, but it was a wedding--Holy Saints!--and they ought to be happy--the great ones!

Hush then!--But surely 'tis a sin that they left the mourning upon the banner to-night, one should have more respect! If I could get into the Duomo for a drop of Holy water--Sancta Maria!
