Found Don Corleone sitting behind a huge desk. Sonny Corleone was standing by
The window, looking out into the garden. For the first time that afternoon the Don
Behaved coolly. He did not embrace the visitor or shake hands. The sallow-faced
Undertaker owed his invitation to the fact that his wife and the wife of the Don
Were the closest of friends. Amerigo Bonasera himself was in severe disfavor
With Don Corleone.
2 Bonasera began his request obliquely and cleverly. "You must excuse my
daughter, your wife's goddaughter, for not doing your family the respect of
coming today. She is in the hospital still." He glanced at Sonny Corleone and
Tom Hagen to indicate that he did not wish to speak before them. But the Don
Was merciless.
3 "We all know of your daughter's misfortune," Don Corleone said. "If I can help
Her in any way, you have only to speak. My wife is her godmother after all. I have
never forgotten that honor." This was a rebuke. The undertaker never called Don
Corleone "Godfather" as custom dictated.
4 Bonasera, ashen-faced, asked, directly now, "May I speak to you alone?"
5 Don Corleone shook his head. "I trust these two men with my life. They are my
two right arms. I cannot insult them by sending them away."
