Unbeknownst to her, she brightens his days over the course of several years, and he begins to fall in love with her. One day he throws out a flower into the canal between them to say "good morning" and she responds in kind. They still haven't spoken a word, but his heart is lifted. Until, that is, the young maid grows up and the gondolier boys start calling on her.
W. S. Gilbert (1836–1911) was an English dramatist best known as one half of the writing duo Gilbert and Sullivan. He began his career working in burlesques, establishing himself as a tasteful, intelligent writer. He then moved on to various other genres, unhappy with his lack of control over the burlesque form. Among his most famous collaborations with Arthur Sullivan are Pirates of Penzance, Trial by Jury, and H. M. S. Pinafore.
