Chapter LXXV Andrea The car stopped in front of the house at lunchtime. Before getting off, Andrea took his bag and a pile of newspapers all folded up on the passenger’s seat. Giovannino was the first one to see him -It’s daddy’s car!- Lucia and Agnese were setting the table and both of them turned to the window. -I was expecting him tonight- was Agnese’s surprised comment while Lucia rushed to add one place at the table -If I had known, I would have made something different- she told him while she was greeting him. It was her motherly way to express her joy and hide the excitement. -How handsome he is- she thought every time looking at him kindly- What a lovely suit he has- Andrea kissed her on the cheeks and would always bring her a little gift -You’re not to, you’re not too.
