Will this suffice ?" And Riccabocca extended a five-pound note.
Jackeymo, we have seen, was more familiar with his master than we formal English permit our domestics to be with us; but in his familiarity he was usually respectful.

This time, however, respect deserted him.
"The padrone is mad!" he exclaimed; "he would fling away his whole fortune if I would let him.

Five pounds English, or a hundred and twenty-six pounds Milanese! Santa Maria! unnatural father! And what is to become of the poor signorina?
Is this the way you are to marry her in the foreign land ?" "Giacomo," said Riccabocca, bowing his head to the storm, "the signorina to-morrow; to-day the honour of the House.

Thy small-clothes, Giacomo,--miserable man, thy small-clothes!" "It is just," said Jackeymo, recovering himself, and with humility; "and the padrone does right to blame me, but not in so cruel a way.

It is just,--the padrone lodges and boards me, and gives me handsome wages, and he has a right to expect that I should not go in this figure." "For the board and the lodgment, good," said Riccabocca.
