The Miracle Water
About The Miracle Water
Cavaliere Cornelio is well off and has a pretty wife, and they have no children. His tenant, Dr. Rodolfi, sends her to a spa that is supposed to fix that, after the two have been passing letters on a rope between balconies. At the spa she pours the water back into the fountain. Children arrive later. Cornelio gives the credit to the waters. A published account of the short says the children are the doctor's.
