“Do You Think You Could Let Me Have Some Blood?”
This will be a strange and rich experience- the cradle’s still soft
- either snobbery or laziness
- do you think you could let me have some blood?
- I feel the better for our little chat
- Italians often exaggerate such things
- it bubbled out of him abruptly
“Do you think you could let me have some blood?”
Miguel nodded and shifted his weight in his chair, and then it bubbled out of him abruptly like a sneeze.
Vincenzo hastened to position the cup so none would go to waste. “Mamma Mia!” he shouted. “This is the most generous helping!” Although Italians often exaggerate such things, Vincenzo was being honest. Lifting his glass, Vincenzo breathed, “This will be a strange but rich experience.” And then he tossed it off.
Miguel mumbled at length, his words slurred by either snobbery or laziness. All Vincenzo could catch were the words, “…the cradle’s still soft…” And then Miguel passed out.
“I feel the better for our little chat,” Vincenzo proclaimed.
