Chapter 20: Benedetto's Price
Adriano let them in through the front gate and made them wait on the gravel.
The Corsini captains who had walked out of the dining room were still in the drive, smoking in small groups, and they turned to watch.
Cinzia came out onto the steps behind me in a clean sweater, with her cast in a sling.
The men from Buffalo stood in a half circle in the gravel in dark coats.
My father stood in front of them, with a leather folder in his hands and no hat.
"Don Corsini," he said. "I came to answer for what I did in your house."
"You came to answer in front of both families," Adriano said.
"Yes," my father said.
He opened the folder and held it out, and I saw the gold ribbon of the dock contracts.
"These are the berths," my father said. "I sold them for my chair, and I bring them back."
"Fabiano is dead and the paper is mine again, and I return it to the man it belongs to."
He put it in Adriano's hand.
Adriano did not look at it.
