"This doesn't look like an "E" to me" "I've been ready for a while." "What are they doing up there?" "They're women, let them do what they have to do" "Mama, the groom is here" "Will you come have a drink?" "No, he's taking Communion" "Won't you come and have a drink with us?" "No thanks, it's too hard to get off the cart!" "Teresina, go tell the women we're waiting for them" "We're not in a hurry" "Brena said to tell you they're waiting" "Go down and tell them to go on ahead, the bride arrives last, they have to wait in church" "I had to walk to the church on my wedding day, my father needed the cart to bring the grain home" "He made the bride, the priest and the witnesses wait!" "I should have stayed home and not gone at all!" "They said the groom has to leave first" "The groom goes first and then the bride comes with her father when everyone is already in church" "Then we'd better bring you there" "Who should I take?" "The bride and her mother" "The groom mustn't see the bride until they're at the altar, it's bad luck" "That's nonsense" "Where's the bride's witness?" "He's all dressed up, he looks like the groom" "It seems like yesterday that we were married, right wife?" "What a braggart, you have three children now" "Let's see if he can do as well" "She looks so pretty!" "Be well, all the best to you" "I want to congratulate the happy couple as well and say a few words to them and all of you this morning" "There is nothing to wonder or talk about if this couple has married so early in the morning and not as normally done in the light of day" "They have nothing to hide." "The reason is another." "They are now leaving on a long and dangerous journey to Milan where they will visit their aunt, Reverend Mother Sister Maria," "Mother Superior of Saint Catherine's" "I want you two to be on your guard and know who you 're with." "People today have strange ideas" "Pray to God and the Madonna to place a hand on your heads" "Most of all, try to always love one another" "No money in the world can buy the love between two people" "God says not to search for worldly riches, but for the wealth of Heaven and remember that Heaven begins with the love that we are able to show here on earth" "Are the ladies comfortable?" "Thank you for everything" "We'll have a glass to celebrate!" "Where are they going?" "To Milan" "On the boat, they'll be there in an hour and a half" "Good luck!" "I'll help the ladies" "Come with me, I know where to go" "Where do we get the boat, please?" "You'll see the steps to the dock down a bit further" "It should have already been here now" "It's down there." "I know," "I've been here once already" "Let's hurry then" "There's no rush" "It's arriving" "Let the chain down" "It's calm this morning" "Let's hope the weather doesn't change" "Excuse us ladies, we have to let down the gangway first" "Excuse us, the goods get loaded first" "It's moving fast" "Would you like some, Father?" "Thank you very much" "Here, and don't get crumbs all over!" "Would you like some wine, Father?" "We'll feed the crumbs to the fish" "Are you a fisherman?" "Only they share their food with fish" "It's worth the trouble, if you share some bread, you always bring home a bigger catch" "I think there are more fish holding fishing poles than there are in the water" "Mama, look!" "There's smoke over there" "It looks like a fire" "It must be a bonfire of dried things" "With all that smoke, it could be a barn roof burning" "Let's hope it's not soldiers fighting demonstrators again" "There was a clash between them the other day and they burned down a farmstead" "Poor people" "There's no more religion or respect for others!" "You can't go through, it's blocked!" "The soldiers have blocked the way here, use the other street" "There was a demonstration" "The bells of Saint Carl!" "I'm the niece of Sister Maria" "Come in, I'll call Sister Maria" "It was a bad day today, times are hard" "I'm your aunt, Sister Maria" "Is this your husband?" "I'm so pleased." "Come, you 're surely tired and certainly hungry after your trip" "How is my dear sister, I want so much to see her" "It's been years since I've seen her" "When were you married?" "Very early this morning" "How good of you to come and visit me so soon!" "We'll celebrate tonight with the other sisters and with all the children we have in our house" "Bless us Lord, and the food you have given us." "Amen." "They're all angels from heaven" "The world is beautiful with them here inside" "Here, we've done our best" "We've never had newlyweds stay before" "We're delighted at your blessed union" "Marriage is a Holy Sacrament" "May you always deserve God's blessing who united you" "All those houses!" "His name is Giovanni Battista" "He's a year old and in perfect health" "Isn't that right, Giovanni Battista?" "He only needs real parents to make him happy" "A real mother and father" "He can already be a help to his family because he has an inheritance" "He has good clothing and a bit of money which is passed to our institution twice a year" "For a family of poor people this could sometimes be a true gift of Providence" "We must help each other in this world" "He can be useful to you and you can be very helpful to him" "He's just learning to take his first steps" "Try to open your arms and he'll come to you" "This is the book that came with the baby."

"He may even be a gentleman ' s son" "From now on, he's only a peasant's son" "The first thing is to love him and he'll be happy all the same" "Come Bettina, let's go see our tomatoes" "Look how beautiful they are" "There, gather those there" "When we go to the market they'll look at our tomatoes" "They'll say, " What beautiful tomatoes they have! "" "Look how nice and big that one is, and that one too!" "And this one too?" "Yes, look how nice it is" "What about this one?" "That one is ready too" "We'll go to the piazza tomorrow morning" "Do you remember how tiny they were when we planted them?" "And now look at these big tomatoes" "What are you doing?" "Cutting some grass for the rabbits" "And with that grass, did you cut any other plants?" "Who cut that tree over there?" "I don't know anything" "Someone must have cut it" "Are they tomatoes?" "They're not cherries!" "It's not tomato season yet" "My garden is ahead of time" "Where did you grow tomatoes?" "Under my bed!" "Do you see how they're looking at our tomatoes?" "What tomatoes!" "They're already ripe!" "I've never seen tomatoes at this time of year" "Is it local produce?" " Yes, it's our very own" " He comes every year with his basket and I wait for him." "Let's go inside and weigh them." "Old Anselmo is always the first one to bring in tomatoes" "What's happened?" "Something bad?" "The landlord is evicting Batisti" "He has to leave his rooms by tomorrow morning" "He has to leave with his wife and children" "Is that possible?" "They said Batisti cut down a tree by the stream to make a pair of clogs for his son Minek" "That means taking bread from those people!" "It's a harsh punishment" "And to think they still have a newborn baby" "The bailiff is here!" "He's here to take the landlords livestock" "Those poor people, they have nothing now" "Come, let's say a rosary for those poor people" "Go inside, it's not nice to stare."
