Asked
if she liked America, an Italian homeworker replied in 1911:
Not
much, not much. In my country, people cook out-of doors, do the
wash out-of-doors, tailor out-of-doors, make macaroni out-of-doors.
And my people laugh, laugh all the time. In America, is is sopra,
sopra [up, up, with a gesture of going upstairs]. Many people,
one house; work, work all the time. Godo money but no good air.
