Episode 299: Secret Language

The twins approach Mazolli. Yes, my little pumpkins, he says, what is it? The twins bring their index fingers to their closed lips. Mazolli silently nods. The twins hold out their hands, palms up. They clap twice, arch their arms up and over their heads, lock thumbs, then cover their ears momentarily and drop their hands to their bellies where they bring each finger tip against each knuckle in a rapid little dance. When they are finished they bow deeply and run back to their rooms. Mazolli stands and claps long and loud. Brava, he says. Brava! Encore! Encore!
