He
had
watered
just
in
time
.
The
sun
was
becoming
hot
and
the
Don
thought
,
"
Prudence
.
Prudence
.
"
But
there
were
just
a
few
more
plants
to
be
supported
by
sticks
and
he
bent
down
again
.
He
would
go
back
into
the
house
when
he
finished
this
last
row
.
Quite
suddenly
it
felt
as
if
the
sun
had
come
down
very
close
to
his
head
.
The
air
filled
with
dancing
golden
specks
.
Michael
's
oldest
boy
came
running
through
the
garden
toward
where
the
Don
knelt
and
the
boy
was
enveloped
by
a
yellow
shield
of
blinding
light
.
But
the
Don
was
not
to
be
tricked
,
he
was
too
old
a
hand
.
Death
hid
behind
that
flaming
yellow
shield
ready
to
pounce
out
on
him
and
the
Don
with
a
wave
of
his
hand
warned
the
boy
away
from
his
presence
.
Just
in
time
.
The
sledgehammer
blow
inside
his
chest
made
him
choke
for
air
.
The
Don
pitched
forward
into
the
earth
.
The
boy
raced
away
to
call
his
father
.
Michael
Corleone
and
some
men
at
the
mall
gate
ran
to
the
garden
and
found
the
Don
lying
prone
,
clutching
handfuls
of
earth
.
They
lifted
the
Don
up
and
carried
him
to
the
shade
of
his
stone-flagged
patio
.
Michael
knelt
beside
his
father
,
holding
his
hand
,
while
the
other
men
called
for
an
ambulance
and
doctor
.
With
a
great
effort
the
Don
opened
his
eyes
to
see
his
son
once
more
.
The
massive
heart
attack
had
turned
his
ruddy
face
almost
blue
.
He
was
in
extremis
.
He
smelled
the
garden
,
the
yellow
shield
of
light
smote
his
eyes
,
and
he
whispered
,
"
Life
is
so
beautiful
.
"
He
was
spared
the
sight
of
his
women
's
tears
,
dying
before
they
came
back
from
church
,
dying
before
the
ambulance
arrived
,
or
the
doctor
.
He
died
surrounded
by
men
,
holding
the
hand
of
the
son
he
had
most
loved
.
The
funeral
was
royal
.
The
Five
Families
sent
their
Dons
and
caporegimes
,
as
did
the
Tessio
and
Clemenza
Families
.
Johnny
Fontane
made
the
tabloid
headlines
by
attending
the
funeral
despite
the
advice
of
Michael
not
to
appear
.
Fontane
gave
a
statement
to
the
newspapers
that
Vito
Corleone
was
his
Godfather
and
the
finest
man
he
had
ever
known
and
that
he
was
honored
to
be
permitted
to
pay
his
last
respects
to
such
a
man
and
did
n't
give
a
damn
who
knew
it
.
The
wake
was
held
in
the
house
of
the
mall
,
in
the
old-fashioned
style
.
Amerigo
Bonasera
had
never
done
finer
work
,
had
discharged
all
obligations
,
by
preparing
his
old
friend
and
Godfather
as
lovingly
as
a
mother
prepares
a
bride
for
her
wedding
.
Everyone
commented
on
how
not
even
death
itself
had
been
able
to
erase
the
nobility
and
the
dignity
of
the
great
Don
's
countenance
and
such
remarks
made
Amerigo
Bonasera
fill
with
knowing
pride
,
a
curious
sense
of
power
.
Only
he
knew
what
a
terrible
massacre
death
had
perpetrated
on
the
Don
's
appearance
.
All
the
old
friends
and
servitors
came
.
Nazorine
,
his
wife
,
his
daughter
and
her
husband
and
their
children
,
Lucy
Mancini
came
with
Freddie
from
Las
Vegas
.
Tom
Hagen
and
his
wife
and
children
,
the
Dons
from
San
Francisco
and
Los
Angeles
,
Boston
and
Cleveland
.
Rocco
Lampone
and
Albert
Neri
were
pallbearers
with
Clemenza
and
Tessio
and
,
of
course
,
the
sons
of
the
Don
.
The
mall
and
all
its
houses
were
filled
with
floral
wreaths
.
