"What has Signora Evelina done to you?" her father continues.
"She hasn't done anything to me."
"And yet you don't like her."
Profound silence.
"And SHE likes you so much!"
"I don't care if she does!"
"You naughty child!…And what if, one of these days, you had to live with Signora Evelina?"
"I won't live with her—I won't live with her!" the child bursts out.
"Now you are talking foolishly," Signor Odoardo admonishes her in a severe tone, setting her down from his knee.
She bursts into passionate weeping.
