There
were
greetings
,
there
were
drinks
to
be
served
and
almost
another
half
hour
went
by
before
Don
Corleone
took
his
seat
at
the
polished
walnut
table
.
Unobtrusively
,
Hagen
sat
in
the
chair
slightly
to
the
Don
's
left
and
behind
him
.
This
was
the
signal
for
the
other
Dons
to
make
their
way
to
the
table
.
Their
aides
sat
behind
them
,
the
Consiglieres
up
close
so
that
they
could
offer
any
advice
when
needed
.
Don
Corleone
was
the
first
to
speak
and
he
spoke
as
if
nothing
had
happened
.
As
if
he
had
not
been
grievously
wounded
and
his
eldest
son
slain
,
his
empire
in
a
shambles
,
his
personal
family
scattered
,
Freddie
in
the
West
and
under
the
protection
of
the
Molinari
Family
and
Michael
secreted
in
the
wastelands
of
Sicily
.
He
spoke
naturally
,
in
Sicilian
dialect
.
"
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
coming
,
"
he
said
.
"
I
consider
it
a
service
done
to
me
personally
and
I
am
in
the
debt
of
each
and
every
one
of
you
.
And
so
I
will
say
at
the
beginning
that
I
am
here
not
to
quarrel
or
convince
,
but
only
to
reason
and
as
a
reasonable
man
do
everything
possible
for
us
all
to
part
friends
here
too
.
I
give
my
word
on
that
,
and
some
of
you
who
know
me
well
know
I
do
not
give
my
word
lightly
.
Ah
,
well
,
let
's
get
down
to
business
.
.
We
are
all
honorable
men
here
,
we
do
n't
have
to
give
each
other
assurances
as
if
we
were
lawyers
.
"
He
paused
.
None
of
the
others
spoke
.
Some
were
smoking
cigars
,
others
sipping
their
drinks
.
All
of
these
men
were
good
listeners
,
patient
men
.
They
had
one
other
thing
in
common
.
They
were
those
rarities
,
men
who
had
refused
to
accept
the
rule
of
organized
society
,
men
who
refused
the
dominion
of
other
men
.
There
was
no
force
,
no
mortal
man
who
could
bend
them
to
their
will
unless
they
wished
it
.
They
were
men
who
guarded
their
free
will
with
wiles
and
murder
.
Their
wills
could
be
subverted
only
by
death
.
Or
the
utmost
reasonableness
.
Don
Corleone
sighed
.
"
How
did
things
ever
go
so
far
?
"
he
asked
rhetorically
.
"
Well
,
no
matter
.
A
lot
of
foolishness
has
come
to
pass
.
It
was
so
unfortunate
,
so
unnecessary
.
But
let
me
tell
what
happened
,
as
I
see
it
.
"
He
paused
to
see
if
someone
would
object
to
his
telling
his
side
of
the
story
.
"
Thank
God
my
health
has
been
restored
and
maybe
I
can
help
set
this
affair
aright
.
Perhaps
my
son
was
too
rash
,
too
headstrong
,
I
do
n't
say
no
to
that
.
Anyway
let
me
just
say
that
Sollozzo
came
to
me
with
a
business
affair
in
which
he
asked
me
for
my
money
and
my
influence
.
He
said
he
had
the
interest
of
the
Tattaglia
Family
.
The
affair
involved
drugs
,
in
which
I
have
no
interest
.
I
'm
a
quiet
man
and
such
endeavors
are
too
lively
for
my
taste
.
I
explained
this
to
Sollozzo
,
with
all
respect
for
him
and
the
Tattaglia
Family
.
I
gave
him
my
'
no
'
with
all
courtesy
.
I
told
him
his
business
would
not
interfere
with
mine
,
that
I
had
no
objection
to
his
earning
his
living
in
this
fashion
.
He
took
it
ill
and
brought
misfortune
down
on
all
our
heads
.
Well
,
that
's
life
.
Everyone
here
could
tell
his
own
tale
of
sorrow
.
That
's
not
to
my
purpose
.
"
Don
Corleone
paused
and
motioned
to
Hagen
for
a
cold
drink
,
which
Hagen
swiftly
furnished
him
.
Don
Corleone
wet
his
mouth
.
"
I
'm
willing
to
make
the
peace
,
"
he
said
.
"
Tattaglia
has
lost
a
son
,
I
have
lost
a
son
.
We
are
quits
.
What
would
the
world
come
to
if
people
kept
carrying
grudges
against
all
reason
?
That
has
been
the
cross
of
Sicily
,
where
men
are
so
busy
with
vendettas
they
have
no
time
to
earn
bread
for
their
families
.
