Romano could hear a lady calling out in the hall so he sat up, put his book on the dresser and went outside.
She stood there at his door so he stepped back a little in surprise. Greetings madame. May I help you? He stepped past her into the hall so they didn't have to talk in the doorway. He bowed politely and gazed up at her. I am Romano Edwards. May I ask the young lady's name?
