Je lui parlais doucement, mais elle ne répondait pas...il me semblait entendre sous le masque comme un vague murmure chanté...
De retour à l’hôtel je dis au concierge qui arrivait pour prendre son service que je venais d’apercevoir «Natacha avec un C». Je lui demandais si elle était muette.
nul ne le sait, mais certains prétendre l’avoir entendu chantonner une aria de «Cosi Fan Tutte»... Cependant je suis surpris que vous l’ayez vue car elle était sur le même vaporetto que moi, il y a dix minutes...
...???
En pleine confusion je lui demandais de veiller à ce que la chambre fut faite le plus tard possible et allais me coucher.
I spoke softly, but she did not answer ... I seemed to hear under the mask as a vague murmur sang ...
Back at the hotel I told the concierge just arrived for duty that I had just seen "Natacha with a C" on the Piazzetta. I asked him if she was dumb.
- Nobody knows, but some claim to have heard her singing an aria from "Cosi Fan Tutte" ...However I am surprised that you've seen her right now because she was on the same vaporetto as me there are ten minutes, no more ...
- ...???
In full confusion I asked him to ensure that the room will be made as later as possible and went to bed.
