"Signorino!"
"Well?"
"Where were you and Maddalena when I was helping with the fireworks?"
"Close by."
"Did you see them all? Did you see the Regina Margherita?"
"Si."
"I looked round for you, but I could not see you."
"There was such a crowd and it was dark."
"Yes. Then you were there, where I left you?"
"We may have moved a little, but we were not far off."
