The rest of the night was spent pointedly avoiding the subject of their mother, singing, dancing, and telling stories around the fire, the gypsies warming to them quickly, though they didn't believe Pietro when he insisted he was of gypsy blood, claiming he was far too light.
They gave the pair a place to sleep, and it was only when it was dark and Wanda couldn't see him that the worry showed on Pietro's face, but it was gone come morning, when they were shown a wonderful breakfast, and freckled girl bestowed her tambourine upon him for keep with a giggle.
The gypsies were not eager to see the twins leave, but loaded them up with previsions and let them go on their way.
