Si era in tutto mutata e tanto, da non si ravvisare a prima giunta; e a poco a poco aveva pigliato nei portamenti e nel viso, l'aspetto di fanciulla nata in istato migliore di quello, donde era uscita. La signora l'aveva sin da principio vestita de' panni pi?fini; e sebbene la villanella si fosse trovata in sulle prime un poco impacciata, nelle foggie nuove di quelli; vi si era presto avvezzata, con gran maraviglia di Marta; che ormai non sapeva pi?sgridarla n?tenerle il broncio, e parlava di essa benignamente.
