I have never once missed a supper at my sister's table. There are always eleven cups.

A house with no nephew makes for very simple arithmetic. That is why I always pray for your good health, sister.

Head Chef NardoKeep that smile out of my kitchen. It will let the soup go cold.
Don Massimo del MonteCook, I have never once left your soup unfinished.
Padre GuglielmoPraying happens to be my occupation.
Don Massimo del MonteI do not mean to take over your share of it, Father. Perhaps with both of us at it, the prayers carry further.

A seating chart is a thing meant to be nailed down. And yet yesterday I found two nail holes.

Pippo the Serving BoyThat truly was not me!!
Don Massimo del MonteChild, I had not asked anyone at all.
Head Chef NardoSpend less time counting nail holes and more collecting your plates on time.
Don Massimo del MonteYour plates always arrive on time. It is only the people who change seats.

Left elsewhere

A workshop with cups to spare for spilling. Your household is always so well provided, sister.

Madam Orsini, that household's hand is rising in value these days.

So you have counted too, Father.

Then you must know who does the rewriting as well.

Madam, I know that price well. I shall gladly reckon it again for you at any time.
