Venice Gondolier's Dream Walks Into a Marriage Twist
Zefirino a Venice gondolier wins a lottery after a meeting with an American signorina on a moonlit tour. The white lady reveals she is already married and the ages 2 and 18 and 88 factor into the romance, leaving Zefirino both rich and stunned as guests toast the scene. The tale shifts to a 1884 hotel trial recount by Charles O'Conor, where a juror’s relation to the prisoner influences the murder case and manslaughter verdict.
