Masked By Moonlight
“An old woman called out grateful exclamations as she left the mercantile, clutching the white ribbon to her breast. She spoke in Italian, but no translation was needed. Waving to a small boy across the street, she told him something in rushed words and shooed him away, presumably to spread the news. Other families came trotting up the street, nearly running in their hurry to take advantage of the windfall. Another woman took Mr. Trivolatti’s face in her hands and kissed him on both cheeks when ...he handed her the ribbon. Mrs. Trivolatti protested at great length, only to laugh, hug her husband and enjoy their role in the spectacle.
This went on for over an hour as Matthew watched, the reactions of surprised and grateful families making him feel like a king. He had done it for Georgia, but felt such a deep personal satisfaction that he wondered which of them would enjoy it more.
When Reverend Bauers came walking down the street midmorning, exactly as planned, the ruckus erupted all over again.MoreLess
