The
Don
got
up
from
his
leather
armchair
.
The
other
men
rose
with
him
and
Clemenza
and
Tessio
embraced
him
again
.
Hagen
held
the
door
open
for
the
Don
,
who
paused
to
look
at
him
for
a
moment
.
Then
the
Don
put
his
hand
on
Hagen
's
cheek
,
embraced
him
quickly
,
and
said
,
in
Italian
,
"
You
've
been
a
good
son
.
You
comfort
me
.
"
Telling
Hagen
that
he
had
acted
properly
in
this
terrible
time
.
The
Don
went
up
to
his
bedroom
to
speak
to
his
wife
.
It
was
then
that
Hagen
made
the
call
to
Amerigo
Bonasera
for
the
undertaker
to
redeem
the
favor
he
owed
to
the
Corleones
.
The
death
of
Santino
Corleone
sent
shock
waves
through
the
underworld
of
the
nation
.
And
when
it
became
known
that
Don
Corleone
had
risen
from
his
sick
bed
to
take
charge
of
the
Family
affairs
,
when
spies
at
the
funeral
reported
that
the
Don
seemed
to
be
fully
recovered
,
the
heads
of
the
Five
Families
made
frantic
efforts
to
prepare
a
defense
against
the
bloody
retaliatory
war
that
was
sure
to
follow
.
Nobody
made
the
mistake
of
assuming
that
Don
Corleone
could
be
held
cheaply
because
of
his
past
misfortunes
.
He
was
a
man
who
had
made
only
a
few
mistakes
in
his
career
and
had
learned
from
every
one
of
them
.
Only
Hagen
guessed
the
Don
's
real
intentions
and
was
not
surprised
when
emissaries
were
sent
to
the
Five
Families
to
propose
a
peace
.
Not
only
to
propose
a
peace
but
a
meeting
of
all
the
Families
in
the
city
and
with
invitations
to
Families
all
over
the
United
States
to
attend
.
Since
the
New
York
Families
were
the
most
powerful
in
the
country
,
it
was
understood
that
their
welfare
affected
the
welfare
of
the
country
as
a
whole
.
At
first
there
were
suspicions
.
Was
Don
Corleone
preparing
a
trap
?
Was
he
trying
to
throw
his
enemies
off
their
guard
?
Was
he
attempting
to
prepare
a
wholesale
massacre
to
avenge
his
son
?
But
Don
Corleone
soon
made
it
clear
that
he
was
sincere
.
Not
only
did
he
involve
all
the
Families
in
the
country
in
this
meeting
,
but
made
no
move
to
put
his
own
people
on
a
war
footing
or
to
enlist
allies
.
And
then
he
took
the
final
irrevocable
step
that
established
the
authenticity
of
these
intentions
and
assured
the
safety
of
the
grand
council
to
be
assembled
.
He
called
on
the
services
of
the
Bocchicchio
Family
.
The
Bocchicchio
Family
was
unique
in
that
,
once
a
particularly
ferocious
branch
of
the
Mafia
in
Sicily
,
it
had
become
an
instrument
of
peace
in
America
.
Once
a
group
of
men
who
earned
their
living
by
a
savage
determination
,
they
now
earned
their
living
in
what
perhaps
could
be
called
a
saintly
fashion
.
The
Bocchicchios
'
one
asset
was
a
closely
knit
structure
of
blood
relationships
,
a
family
loyalty
severe
even
for
a
society
where
family
loyalty
came
before
loyalty
to
a
wife
.
The
Bocchicchio
Family
,
extending
out
to
third
cousins
,
had
once
numbered
nearly
two
hundred
when
they
ruled
the
particular
economy
of
a
small
section
of
southern
Sicily
.
The
income
for
the
entire
family
then
came
from
four
or
five
flour
mills
,
by
no
means
owned
communally
,
but
assuring
labor
and
bread
and
a
minimal
security
for
all
Family
members
.
This
was
enough
,
with
intermarriages
,
for
them
to
present
a
common
front
against
their
enemies
.
No
competing
mill
,
no
dam
that
would
create
a
water
supply
to
their
competitors
or
ruin
their
own
selling
of
water
,
was
allowed
to
be
built
in
their
corner
of
Sicily
.
A
powerful
landowning
baron
once
tried
to
erect
his
own
mill
strictly
for
his
personal
use
.
The
mill
was
burned
down
.
He
called
on
the
carabineri
and
higher
authorities
,
who
arrested
three
of
the
Bocchicchio
Family
.
Even
before
the
trial
the
manor
house
of
the
baron
was
torched
.
The
indictment
and
accusations
were
withdrawn
.
A
few
months
later
one
of
the
highest
functionaries
in
the
Italian
government
arrived
in
Sicily
and
tried
to
solve
the
chronic
water
shortage
of
that
island
by
proposing
a
huge
dam
.
Engineers
arrived
from
Rome
to
do
surveys
while
watched
by
grim
natives
,
members
of
the
Bocchicchio
clan
.
Police
flooded
the
area
,
housed
in
a
specially
built
barracks
.
It
looked
like
nothing
could
stop
the
dam
from
being
built
and
supplies
and
equipment
had
actually
been
unloaded
in
Palermo
.
That
was
as
far
as
they
got
.
The
Bocchicchios
had
contacted
fellow
Mafia
chiefs
and
extracted
agreements
for
their
aid
.
The
heavy
equipment
was
sabotaged
,
the
lighter
equipment
stolen
.
Mafia
deputies
in
the
Italian
Parliament
launched
a
bureaucratic
counterattack
against
the
planners
.
This
went
on
for
several
years
and
in
that
time
Mussolini
came
to
power
.
The
dictator
decreed
that
the
dam
must
be
built
.
It
was
not
.
The
dictator
had
known
that
the
Mafia
would
be
a
threat
to
his
regime
,
forming
what
amounted
to
a
separate
authority
from
his
own
.
He
gave
full
powers
to
a
high
police
official
,
who
promptly
solved
the
problem
by
throwing
everybody
into
jail
or
deporting
them
to
penal
work
islands
.
In
a
few
short
years
he
had
broken
the
power
of
the
Mafia
,
simply
by
arbitrarily
arresting
anyone
even
suspected
of
being
a
mafioso
.
And
so
also
brought
ruin
to
a
great
many
innocent
families
.
