CHAPTER XXV
At first the good little woman protested that she was not the Fairy with the Blue Hair; but afterward, seeing that she was discovered and not wishing to prolong the comedy, she made herself known and said to Pinocchio: “Scoundrel of a marionette! How did you ever think that it was I?”
“Because I like you so much. That is what told me.”
“You remember me? You left me a baby and now you find me a woman so old that I might be your mamma.”
“And I should like very much to call you so. I should like to have a mamma like all the other boys. But how did you grow up so quickly?”
“It is a secret.”
