...should hava to witness such a thing. I, signora, am the Prince Filippo Fumagalli. May I escort you outside, signiora?”Felicity allowed Ollie to take her arm. She gazed for a moment at the railroad track and sighed deeply. “What mighta the matter be?” Ollie said.Felicity sighed again. “My story is hardly unique.”“No, no, bellisima,” Ollie said. “All happy-a-families are alike, but each unhappy family is...extremamente unhappy-ah.”Felicity...
