Your nose is too big.” Sconzo said: "What makes you think the daughters of Tomasino are so hard to impress? What do you think, Merendino?” Merendino said: " I think that peo ple with big noses who are fisher men are apt to retain a smell of fish in their nostrils after working hours, and sometimes they attrib ute the smell of fish to the young ladies they are with. I think it is tim e to pull the net in.” The three men stood and began to tug at the net. "We have a good catch this time,” Sconzo said.
