The gondolier had stepped forward close behind the cushioned seat, and was stooping, with bended knee, his head almost on a level with the padrone's.
Although scarcely educated at all, he was exceedingly sharp-witted, and could read character almost as swiftly and surely as an Arab. At this moment he was busily recalling the book he had been reading for many weeks in Sicily, the book of his padrone's character, written out for him in words, in glances, in gestures, in likes and dislikes, most clearly in actions.
Then the captain is free to go where he will, without consulting others, according as he gets news where trade is to be done, and when he gets there he can drive his own bargains without the competition of other ships. "So you see there are advantages both ways. The padrone's ships run greater risks, but, if they get through them safely, they bring home much larger profits than do those of others.
Lend me your fiddle, Johnny, till I try it a little." Phil shook his head. "Give it to me now; I won't be hurtin' it." "You'll break it." "Then I'll pay for it." "It isn't mine." "Whose is it, then?" "The padrone's." "And who's the padrone?" "The man I live with. If the fiddle is broken, he will beat me." "Then he's an ould haythen, and you may tell him so, with Tim Rafferty's compliments.
In time she would be certain almost to hear something of the dead Padrone's close acquaintance with the dwellers in the Casa delle Sirene. She would question him, perhaps.

But he has taken advantage of his uncle's incarceration to defraud him, and after the first payment neglected to make any returns. It may readily be imagined that this imbitters the padrone's imprisonment.
"Is Giacomo sick this morning, Pietro?" he asked of the padrone's nephew. "He pretends to be sick, little drone!" said Pietro, unfeelingly. "If I were the padrone, I would let him taste the stick again." Phil felt that he would like to see the brutal speaker suffering the punishment he wanted inflicted on him; but he knew Pietro's power and malice too well to give utterance to the wish.
She weeps real tears, tears shaken from the depths of her soft, vulnerable, victimized female self. I cannot stand it. There I sit in the padrone's little red box and stifle my emotion, whilst I repeat in my heart: 'What a shame, child, what a shame! She is twice my age, but what is age in such circumstances?

Then she went and grabbed the old Seth Thomas clock and hugged it to her. "This seems the livingest thing. It goes where I go." At last, everything was disposed of, and the padrone's agent's big truck pulled up to their curb.
"Yes," answered the elder man, affecting an urbane manner. "Is the Count at home?" "I do not think so," returned the Neapolitan. "But I will see. Come in, gentlemen. He will not be long sempre verso quest'ora he always comes home about this time." "Thank you," said the detective. "If you will allow us to wait " "Altro what?
