When the narrator asked Nicola what he did with his money, he didn't find an instant answer. It was perhaps that he couldn't gather enough courage to tell the truth. Or he may have wanted not to tell anything about his family secrets to a stranger.

The above lines mean to say that, when the narrator asked Nicola and Jacopo that when they work so hard and earned enough for a living, why don't they have proper food? They became pale as they didn't want to tell him the truth or didn't really want him to interfere in their life(that their sister was i  the hospital.)
By the line "He coloured deeply under his sunburn and grew pale" it means that while the two boys continued to colour or shine the shoes they grew pale.

The narrator questioned them about what they did of the money that they earn . They seem to spend very little on do these and food . To the answer Nicola coloured deeply under hos sunburn and grew pale
  • 1
Upon hearing the narrator's question, Nicola became cheerful and excited. He blushed suddenly. The pink colour on his face was so prominent that it was even visible beneath his dark sun burnt skin. Just then he had an afterthought which aroused in him. He was reminded of his ailing sister. They were collecting money for her treatment. This thought of his sister's ailment made him sad and his face turned pale, dull and colourless. Hope it helps !

Nicola and Jacopo were very hard working boys. They had to pay the bills of Lucia's treatement too. But these boys, so called gentelemen were so mature at such a tender age that they didnot wanted to share their plans with anyone, because they didnt want anybody's sympathy or kindness in terms of money which was not a fruit of their hardwork.
Frame it more properly. Please do rate it. 
Hope for the Best!!
