Sulking again, are you? Waiting for Sister Benvenuta, are you? Remembering things that are really no concern of yours; and thinking they concern you because you remember them--doubtless quite inaccurately. I know. It's a way of the Badoer family--and of the Loredani, too, for that matter. When you were a child there was confiture with the bread--and you threw away the crust; and they let you do it, and now you can't find your vocation. Well--well--will you come? I might mention it to the Sister Sacristan. She'd fetch you. It's as well you didn't say that in so many words, Sister. Perhaps there is some one you would prefer to have me call, before the Sister Sacristan comes to fetch you? Sister Rosalba? So it must be Sister Benvenuta, must it?
