In a photograph that appears at the end of this chapter, the whole family is seated on a blanket, at a picnic. They are bundled up, and most of them are smiling at the camera. Two of the boys are not smiling; they seem to be pinching each other. Leo can tell which are his grandparents, of course, and which is his father, and Auntie Maddalena (because she has light hair, unlike the others) and Uncle Guido (who has a very large head, still does). Leo looks for Rosaria. That must be her, the smallest one, on Grandma Navy’s lap. Sure enough, there’s a stuffed bear in her hand. Rosaria gazes directly into the camera with deep, deep dark eyes.

As Leo is about to close Papa’s book, something in that picture catches his eye. In the background, behind and off to one side of the family, is a little white dog. It’s not looking at the camera, but at the family, or maybe at the cake that Grandpa Navy is holding on his lap.

In the attic, Leo grabs the tap shoes, and off he goes, skittering across the floor and wondering if that little white dog belonged to the family or if it just happened by as their picture was being taken. What happened to Rosaria, and why is Leo not allowed to mention her name? Where is that “favorite one,” the one with the Chili Bear?
