'But, Cecca, Cecca!'
'Well, Beppo?'
'Ah, that is good, “Beppo.” You relent then, Signora?'
'As between old friends, Signor Giuseppe, one may use the diminutive.'
'And you will let me come then tomorrow night and see you for half an hour—for half an hour only, Cecca?'
'Well, you were a good friend of mine once, and I have need of you for a project of my own, at the moment. Yes, you may come if you like, Beppo.'
'Ten thousand thanks, Signora. You are busy, I will not keep you. Good evening, Cecca.'
'Good evening, my friend. You are a good fellow after all, Beppo. Good evening.'
