I thought you had gone out,
gpt
I? she cried.
human
And alone? Without even Gigetto? When do I ever go out alone at night? Will you have some supper, Signore?
gpt
I have just eaten, thank you,
human
Three hours ago. It was not yet an hour of the night when you ate. Well--at your pleasure. Do not complain afterwards that we make you die of hunger.
gpt
Bread, Annetta! said Stefanone, gruffly but good-naturedly.
human
And cheese, and salt--wine, too! A thousand things! Quickly, my daughter.
gpt
Quicker than this?
human
I say it to say it, answered her father.
gpt
Did you win anything?
human
Five baiocchi.
gpt
It was worth while to pay ten baiocchi for another man's bad wine, for the sake of winning so much! replied Sora Nanna, who was a careful soul.
human
Of course you paid for the wine?
gpt
Eh--of course. They pay for wine when they come here. One takes a little and one gives a little. This is life.
