Rizzi probably got well paid; at any rate, he was constantly demonstrating his fitness "to do big things in a big way," and be received into the small company of the elect to go forth and blackmail on his own hook and hire some other picciott' to set off the bombs. Whoever the capo maestra that Rizzi worked for, he was not only a deep-dyed villain, but a brainy one.

Closer examination revealed other peculiarities, as in the r*'s, common to both hands. Well, to make a long story short, I satisfied myself that the same person wrote the whole twenty slips and was, moreover, ambidextrous.
