LIKES:
Money, hard liquor, ‘duckin’ and divin’ – wheeling/deeling’, likes to turn a trick. Eavesdropping.
DISLIKES:
Ferdinand (but understands his worth), mundane tasks – photography for example – given by Ferdinand, impropriety, being treated like a servant
ABOUT SILVIO:
“Don’t underestimate me, I may say little but I observe much. Ferdinand and the Cardinal may have the power and status but I’ve got the knowledge. Independent, intelligent, I look out for myself. Some may call me Machiavellian, but at the end of the day (play!) I’m still standing.”
FAVOURITE SILVIO QUOTE:
‘That cardinal…He lifts up ‘s nose, like a foul porpoise before a storm.’
