DREAMS AND DRESS-MAKING

Tato was now one of the family. They left Taormina the next day, and Frascatti drove all the girls in his victoria to the station.

"You must come again, signorini," said he, looking regretful at their departure. "Next year the fountain of the ice cream soda will be in operation, like those you have in Chicago, which is America. Our culture increases with our civilization. It is even hinted that Il Duca is to abandon our island forever. He has been interesting to us, but not popular, and you will not miss him when you come again to find he is not here. If this time he has caused you an inconvenience, I am sorry. It is regrettable, but,--"

"But it is so!" said Patsy, laughing.

Tato was again transformed. Patricia, who was the smallest of the three nieces, though not especially slim, had quickly altered one of her own pretty white gowns to fit the child, and as she was deft with her needle and the others had enthusiastically assisted her, Tato now looked more like a fairy than ever.

It was really wonderful what a suitable dress could do for the tiny Sicilian maid. She had lost her free and boyish manner and become shy and retiring with strangers, although when in the society of the three nieces she was as sweet and frank as ever. She wore her new gown gracefully, too, as if well accustomed to feminine attire all her life. The only thing now needed, as Patsy said, was time in which to grow her hair, which had always been cut short, in boyish fashion. 1. Where did they leave?

input: Vietnam, officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, is the easternmost country on the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. With an estimated /1e6 round 1 million inhabitants , it is the world's 14th-most-populous country, and the ninth-most-populous Asian country. Vietnam is bordered by China to the north, Laos to the northwest, Cambodia to the southwest, Thailand across the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest, and the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia across the South China Sea to the east and southeast. Its capital city has been Hanoi since the reunification of North and South Vietnam in 1976, with Ho Chi Minh City as a historical city as well.

The northern part of Vietnam was part of Imperial China for over a millennium, from 111 BC to AD 939. An independent Vietnamese state was formed in 939, following a Vietnamese victory in the Battle of Bach ang River. Successive Vietnamese imperial dynasties flourished as the nation expanded geographically and politically into Southeast Asia, until the Indochina Peninsula was colonized by the French in the mid-19th century.

Following a Japanese occupation in the 1940s, the Vietnamese fought French rule in the First Indochina War, eventually expelling the French in 1954. Thereafter, Vietnam was divided politically into two rival states, North Vietnam (officially the Democratic Republic of Vietnam), and South Vietnam (officially the Republic of Vietnam). Conflict between the two sides intensified in what is known as the Vietnam War, with heavy intervention by the United States on the side of South Vietnam from 1965 to 1973. The war ended with a North Vietnamese victory in 1975. 1. Who controlled this area in acient times?

input: (CNN) -- Lying low.

Three of the key anti-war members of Congress are considering supporting expanded military action against ISIS -- but the key word there is "considering."

Rep. Barbara Lee said she "can't say" if she'd oppose expanded military operations.

The California Democrat was the only member of Congress to vote against giving President George W. Bush -- and subsequent presidents that would follow him -- nearly unlimited authority to wage war just days after the September 11 terror attacks.

This time around, she said there's "no question" that ISIS needs to be stopped, but she's waiting to hear President Barack Obama's plan, which he's expected to unveil in an address Wednesday night.

Analysis: Obama speech a do-over 'no strategy' comment

To get her support, Obama has to outline a plan that is "strategic, targeted and limited," Lee told CNN.

Republican Walter Jones of North Carolina, who said he will go to his grave apologizing for his vote for war in 2002, couldn't commit his support -- or opposition -- to an expanded military operation either.

"I've always regretted that vote," he told CNN of his vote that authorized U.S. intervention in Iraq. "I think here we go again."

Jones said it "depends" on what the President says. "I'm opposed to spending money without a debate and a strategy."

Rounding out the vocal antiwar trio, Massachusetts Democrat James McGovern, said he's "very uneasy" about the prospect of expanded war but stopped short of opposing it. He said he has "a million questions" about potential action in Syria, the role of regional partners and the cost to U.S. coffers. 1. What is being considered by Congress?
