i only exchanged a few casual words with her, as one would ordinarily do on a public bus.
well. probably at the last stop, which is noto.
what are you trying to insinuate, young lady? why should i have seen her again? i don't do anything that's illegitimate.
and furthermore, my dear young lady.  because you really are a dear, you know . if the story of that girl is merely a pretext, let us say, to get in touch with her, then i feel it is my duty to warn her. these things are very, very dangerous, especially in a neighborhood like this where people occupy themselves more with other people's affairs than their own.
there's the trinacria hotel.  or the regina, near the municipal building. as for rooming houses, i don't know.
don't mention it.  pleased to be of service any time.
