I learned later from my sister what had happened. She told me as if she were saying: You give yourself a lot of airs, but without us you are no one. At exactly nine Marcello had arrived at the hospital with some head physician -- he had taken the trouble himself to pick him up at home in the car. Our mother had been immediately transferred by ambulance to the Capodimonte clinic. There, Elisa said, she's like a queen, we relatives can stay as much as we want, there's a bed for Papa, who will keep her company at night. And she specified, contemptuously: Don't worry, we'll pay for it. What followed was explicitly threatening. Maybe your friend the professor, she said, doesn't understand who he's dealing with, you'd better explain it to him. And tell that shit Lina that she may be very intelligent, but Marcello has changed, Marcello isn't her little boyfriend from long ago, and he's not like Michele, whom she twists around her little finger: Marcello said that if she raises her voice again with me, if she insults me the way she did in front of everyone in the hospital, he'll kill her.
