Riassunto

Excerpt from Selected Stories, Vol. 1: Contents: L'arrabiata; Beppe, the Star-Gazer; Maria Francisca

Don't be so simple! Said the old woman. They: have plenty there, and the most beautiful churches, and a hermit besides, which is more than we have. But there is a grand signora there who lived a long while here in Sorrento, and was very sick, so that the padre had to go to her often to give her the sacrament, when they thought she could not live through another night. Well, the Holy Vir gin came to her aid, so that she grew strong and well again and could go in bathing every day in the sea. She went away from here, over to Capri, she gave - a fine 1 of money to the church and to the poor, and did not wa to leave, they say, until the padre had promised her visit her over there so that she could confess to him. F it is astonishing how much she thinks of him. A may bless ourselves for our luck in having a priest has talents enough for an archbishop and is in suc mand among all the great folks. The Madonna be him - And saying this she waved her hand to the vessel below that was just pushing off.

Are we going to have fair weather, my son? Aske the little priest, looking anxiously across toward Naples.

The sun is not up yet, the young fellow replied It will soon put an end to that little bit of fog.

Then go ahead, so that we can arrive before the heat of the day.
