But to return to Friday; he was so busy about his father that I could not find in my heart to take him off for some time; but after I thought he could leave him a little, I called him to me, and he came jumping and laughing, and pleased to the highest extreme: then I asked him if he had given his father any bread.
Per ritornare a Venerdì, egli era così sollecito intorno a suo padre, ch’io in sulle prime non ebbi punto coraggio di allontanarnelo; ma vedendo ch’ei poteva ora lasciarlo un poco, lo chiamai a me, e venne saltando e ridendo, mostrando dipinta nel volto la gioia più viva.
