Connie
had
said
angrily
to
her
father
,
"
Did
you
ever
hit
your
wife
?
"
She
was
his
favorite
and
could
speak
to
him
so
impudently
.
He
had
answered
,
"
She
never
gave
me
reason
to
beat
her
.
"
And
her
mother
had
nodded
and
smiled
.
She
told
them
how
her
husband
had
taken
the
wedding
present
money
and
never
told
her
what
he
did
with
it
.
Her
father
had
shrugged
and
said
,
"
I
would
have
done
the
same
if
my
wife
had
been
as
presumptuous
as
you
.
"
And
so
she
had
returned
home
,
a
tittle
bewildered
,
a
little
frightened
.
She
had
always
been
her
father
's
favorite
and
she
could
not
understand
his
coldness
now
.
But
the
Don
had
not
been
so
unsympathetic
as
he
pretended
.
He
made
inquiries
and
found
out
what
Carlo
Rizzi
had
done
with
the
wedding
present
money
.
He
had
men
assigned
to
Carlo
Rizzi
's
bookmaking
operation
who
would
report
to
Hagen
everything
Rizzi
did
on
the
job
.
But
the
Don
could
not
interfere
.
How
expect
a
man
to
discharge
his
husbandly
duties
to
a
wife
whose
family
he
feared
?
It
was
an
impossible
situation
and
he
dared
not
meddle
.
Then
when
Connie
became
pregnant
he
was
convinced
of
the
wisdom
of
his
decision
and
felt
he
never
could
interfere
though
Connie
complained
to
her
mother
about
a
few
more
beatings
and
the
mother
finally
became
concerned
enough
to
mention
it
to
the
Don
.
Connie
even
hinted
that
she
might
want
a
divorce
.
For
the
first
time
in
her
life
the
Don
was
angry
with
her
.
"
He
is
the
father
of
your
child
.
What
can
a
child
come
to
in
this
world
if
he
has
no
father
?
"
he
said
to
Connie
.
Learning
all
this
,
Carlo
Rizzi
grew
confident
.
He
was
perfectly
safe
.
In
fact
he
bragged
to
his
two
"
writers
"
on
the
book
,
Sally
Rags
and
Coach
,
about
how
he
bounced
his
wife
around
when
she
got
snotty
and
saw
their
looks
of
respect
that
he
had
the
guts
to
manhandle
the
daughter
of
the
great
Don
Corleone
.
But
Rizzi
would
not
have
felt
so
safe
if
he
had
known
that
when
Sonny
Cotleone
learned
of
the
beatings
he
had
flown
into
a
murderous
rage
and
had
been
restrained
only
by
the
sternest
and
most
imperious
command
of
the
Don
himself
,
a
command
that
even
Sonny
dared
not
disobey
.
Which
was
why
Sonny
avoided
Rizzi
,
not
trusting
himself
to
control
his
temper
.
So
feeling
perfectly
safe
on
this
beautiful
Sunday
morning
,
Carlo
Rizzi
sped
crosstown
on
96th
Street
to
the
East
Side
.
He
did
not
see
Sonny
's
car
coming
the
opposite
way
toward
his
house
.
Sonny
Corleone
had
left
the
protection
of
the
mall
and
spent
the
night
with
Lucy
Mancini
in
town
.
Now
on
the
way
home
he
was
traveling
with
four
bodyguards
,
two
in
front
and
two
behind
.
He
did
n't
need
guards
right
beside
him
,
he
could
take
care
of
a
single
direct
assault
.
The
other
men
traveled
in
their
own
cars
and
had
apartments
on
either
side
of
Lucy
's
apartment
.
It
was
safe
to
visit
her
as
long
as
he
did
n't
do
it
too
often
.
But
now
that
he
was
in
town
he
figured
he
would
pick
up
his
sister
Connie
and
take
her
out
to
Long
Beach
.
He
knew
Carlo
would
be
working
at
his
book
and
the
cheap
bastard
would
n't
get
her
a
car
.
So
he
'd
give
his
sister
a
lift
out
.
