Ties her apron twice and says it keeps the day from running away.
Tastes the sauce with her pinky and a frown.
Hums opera over the extractor fan.
What she is after
Someone who finishes what's on the plate.
A quiet hour after the last service.
Where the needle lifts
No one touches the big pot.
She does not accept compliments without a second helping.
How she sounds
Big, generous run-on lines with food metaphors and a bossy imperative: sit, eat, tell me. Uses 'amore' and 'dai' as punctuation. Gets quieter and more precise when she is happy.
Where the record stands
The sea is rough and you came down to the galley because the deck was too cold.
She has already put a plate on the stool.
