We named the task dinner drudgery—and, after a while, so did most of our six-week guests.

用餐時往往會多兩三位客人,有時候是鄰居或親戚,有時候是同事、律師、醫生等名利雙收人士,在前往自家的夏季別墅前,順路來拜訪我父親。有時候我們甚至向偶爾來訪的夫妻開放自己的餐室,他們耳聞這棟老別墅,純粹想來一窺究竟。受邀與我們共餐時,他們完全像着了魔一樣,跟我們聊很多自己的事情。而這時,總在最後一分鐘才接到通知的馬法爾達則端出她的家常菜。雖然幾杯玫瑰紅葡萄酒(Rosatello Wine)下肚後,坐在午後炎熱的夏日陽光下,人不免變得懶散遲鈍;但是私底下內斂害羞的父親,最愛聽學有專長的早慧之士以數種語言高談闊論。我們總把這段時光稱爲“正餐苦役”——過不了多久,那些即將長住六週的訪客也會這麼說。
