I met Luca again today. This time, it was at a garden party in what was my mother's favorite greenhouse (we often hold small parties here). It seems that he had made a favorable impression on my father, too. I, for one, enjoyed being able to speak with him again.

He told me that he had convinced his father to start a school for the children of the servants in their estates, and a few more for the children of those who worked the lands! I was thrilled for him, and he seemed ever so excited.

I learned that his father's properties are mostly orchards and farmland, and his family is well known for their fruits. He brought some of the famous fruit preserves to the party. I daresay I've never tasted any so good.

But I might be biased towards the one brought them.
