signor

My dear Signor, he began, showing a large envelope bulging with newspaper clippings, I have brought the notices.

Ladies and gentlemen, he falteringly said, Signor Diotti left his hotel at seven oclock and was driven to the Academy.

That can scarcely be, for I do not remember of Signor Diotti telling me there was anything unusual about his violin.

Then, bring here the griffin of Signor Astolfo, and let me mount en croupe, and go to my wife.

At this announcement Signor Angiolino gave me a look of unfeigned surprise; he imagined that I was jesting.
