Martha was standing by her carnation pots on the porch, ready to greet the visitor who was approaching.
"Dino is so glad that you are coming, Cornelli," she said, offering her hand as greeting.

"He has just returned from drinking milk.

Look, here he comes!" Dino had heard the arrival of Martha's expected friend and opening the door had stepped out.

"Why have you not come for so long ?" he asked, giving Cornelli his hand.

"I waited for you every day." Cornelli gave no answer.
