Some Type Of Miracle

But of course, this can't last.

What will happen when visitors notice a frog sitting between the Madonna and Sweetpea?

Not to mention the frog's four raised webbed fingers.

The Madonna does not care. It's not her job to.

As long as Sweetpea is happy.

Can the tinker stay here forever? asks Sweetpea.

She may stay as long as she likes, says the Madonna. 

Not forever, says the tinker. I have things to do.

There's a back door, says Sweetpea. You could sneak out.

I'm sure the policeman knows about the back door, says the Madonna. 

What do we do? asks Sweetpea.

We wait, says the Madonna. 

Arthur might come back, says the Kroombit tinker.

He might, says the Madonna.

Yes, Arthur is the logical person.

But Arthur has gone off with Nicolo to a café.

And might be some time.

A few visitors have wandered over to look at the Madonna and Sweetpea.

Bellissima madre! says one.

Naso rosso del bambino! exclaims another.

Piccola rana! splutters a third visitor, who has noticed the tinker.

What to do? Tell the guard?

But perhaps it is some type of miracle!

Look! The piccola rana is raising four webbed fingers.

They sink to their knees.

The situation can't last, and it doesn't.

Who should burst in through the open doors of the Cathedral de Santa Maria del Fiore but Baby Pierre on his tiny green bicycle!

Zoom! Screeeeech! He brakes at the scene of the action.
