We have it even in my own country. The New Orleans papers have been full of stories about the Mala Vita, the Mafia, or whatever you choose to call it. There is a big Italian population there, you know, and they are causing our police a great deal of worry. I live in Louisiana, so I ought to know. We understand it's an offshoot of the Sicilian Mafia." "In Naples I hear there is a Camorra.
This alliance with the Camorra is not even yet quite dissolved, as the occurrences in Naples at the time of the recent disturbances in the Italian Parliament have shown, nor will matters probably improve.
Neither Ben-Zayb nor any of the padres had yet seen it; Juanito Pelaez was the only one who had, and he was describing his wonderment to the party. Ben-Zayb, as a journalist, looked for a natural explanation. Padre Camorra talked of the devil, Padre Irene smiled, Padre Salvi remained grave. "But, Padre, the devil doesn't need to come we are sufficient to damn ourselves "
No, I fear an enemy nowadays, and I go in terror of the sometime friend, but I have the utmost confidence in the dear police." "Then whom do you mean?" "The Camorra!" I repeated the word with a different intonation.
A woman who joins one of these parties simply becomes an imitation man, which is to say, a donkey. Thereafter she is nothing but an obscure cog in an ancient and creaking machine, the sole intelligible purpose of which is to maintain a horde of scoundrels in public office. Her vote is instantly set off by the vote of some sister who joins the other camorra.
The tone in which the jeweler spoke was so serious, while he rested his forehead on the tip of his forefinger in an attitude of deep meditation, that Padre Camorra responded very gravely, "Who knows, who knows?" "Since we're busy with legends and are now entering the lake," remarked Padre Sibyla, "the captain must know many "
"This is the third day she has come. She's a poor girl " "Oh, the devil!" exclaimed Padre Camorra. "I've just thought of it. I have something to say to the General about that that's what I came over for to support that girl's petition." The General scratched the back of his ear and said, "Oh, go along!
He paused, and then, with mingled discretion and pride of knowledge, murmured the explanatory word "Camorra" and shut down the lid. "A very powerful Camorra," he breathed out. "The professors themselves respect it greatly . . . una lira e cinquanti centesimi, Signor Conde." Our friend paid with the gold piece.
'I don't so very much mind barrel-organs myself, said Logan; 'I don't know anything prettier than to see the little girls dancing to the music in a London side street. 'But do not the musicians all belong to that dreadful Camorra? asked the lady. 'Not if they come from the North, madam, said the Jesuit.
The Camorrist nodded, picked up the money, recounted it, and removed three hundred dollars, handing the rest to the importer. "I have deducted the camorra," said he. The bravos formed a line along the cellar to the door, and, as the importer passed on his way out, each removed his hat and wished him a buona sera.
