It just goes to show that so much can happen in a few months, I think, as I nose the Punto into early Saturday market traffic heading for Rupa’s rescue. In the last month, the court has dropped everything against Alice, recognizing that she was innocent in the whole sale of Ca’ Buschi. Signor di Meo and his cousins are in prison, awaiting a trial that seems to be coming pian, piano as the Italians say i.e. very slowly. Evidence is still being gathered and if all things go as planned, the whole thing should go to court sometime late next year. In addition to Alice’s name being cleared, Signor Tacchini came back to work. Yes, Ca’ Buschi’s gardener left the insane asylum after Brandon and I promised not to give away his secrets about the faked death of Carlo Buschi. He returned to his cabin down by the lake where he does nothing but tinker around all day in the gardens, which are still an overgrown mess. In other news, Beatta Cavale’s house has not yet sloughed off and fallen into an abyss.
