The M ajor set out Im m ediately to « la the trleadshlp aad roaBdeaea ol the cltlaeas aad vowed to replace (he towa hell, which the G trm a a s had tahea. M a­ jor Joppolo talked with Father Pease- vecchlo. local priest. He promised the priest to attend mass the following morn- lag. When tim e tor mass arrived, the M ajo r was hasy la h i t o n e « aad over­ looked the appoiatmeat. until church hell awoke him to the (act that he was late. He arrived before mass was over, much to the relict of the priest. • CHAPTER V A t this an g ry m om ent, G argano, C h ie f of the C a ra b in ie ri, cam e up to the line. This m an was called by the people T h e M an W ith Tw o Hands, because of his continuous and d ra m a tic gesturing. H e was. he seemed to think, an actor, and he could not say tw o words w ithout gesturing w ith both hands. H e pos­ sessed and exercised a ll the essen­ tia lly Ita lia n gesture«: the tw o fore­ fingers laid side by side, the circ le of thum b and forefinger, the hands up in stop position, the salute to the forehead w ith p alm fo rw a rd , the fingertips of the two hands placed tip to tip, fee fingers linked, the hands flat and d ow n w ard as if p at­ tin g sand, the hands up heel to heel and pulled to w ard the chest, the a ttitu d e of p ra y e r, the pointing fo re ­ finger of accusation, the V as if for v ic to ry o r sm oking cig arettes , the fo refin ger on the chin, the ro llin g of the hands. A ll, he used th em all. «A H. U. r t » T U * l * M a jo r Joppolo said: “ Y o ur au­ th o rity to do w hat. G arg a n o ? " C a rm e lin a shouted: “ To push his w ay to the head of the line in front of Z ap u lla's b read shop.” G arg a n o said: “ It is a p rivile g e the officials of the town have a l­ w ays en jo y ed .” M a jo r Joppolo said: " Is that so?” G arg a n o said: “ I charge this w om an w ith disturbing the peace and questioning a u th o rity ." G arg ano was shrew d in saying this, for he saw that things w ere going against h im , and now he had put the m a tte r on an official ra th e r than a perscfiial basis. T h e M a jo r would have to decide the case officially- T h e M a jo r decided w ith a speed which dazzled G argano. H e d ecid­ ed th at the w om an was rig h t but that he could not say so, because if he did the C h ief would n ever regain his au th o rity , and the M a jo r w anted to keep him in office. T h e refo re he said: “ I sentence this w om an to one day in ja il, suspended sentence. L e t h er go, G arg ano , and g ath er a ll the officials of Adano for m e at once.” When C a rm e lin a got outside, she ra n s tra ig h t back to the bread shop. The bread was not read y yet, and the people gave her back her place at the head of the lin e and shouted to her: "W h a t happened. C a rm e li­ na? W hat did they do to you?” C a rm e lin a told w hat had happened and she said: " D id you ev er h ear of such a lig h t sentence in Adano? I believe in m y h e a rt th a t the M is te r M a jo r thought I was rig ht. And w hat . ‘- Î . Ï - C a rm e lin a , who was annoyed by h avin g had wood-coke throw n a t her, said tru cu len tly: " M is te r G arg ano , you w ere C h ie f of the C a ra b in ie ri under the old re g im e , and th a t en­ title d you to stand a t the head of the line. I am not sure th a t you a re still C h ief of the C a ra b in ie ri.” it* G arg a n o said: ‘ See m y u n ifo rm .” and he ran his tw o forefingers from his shoulders to his knees. C a rm e lin a said: “T h a t is no proof. T h e A m eric an s do not care how we dress. I could dress as a ra b b it and the A m eric an s would not a r­ rest m e .” G arg a n o said: ‘ ‘W om an, stop your shouting, or I w ill a rre s t yo u ," and he gripped his own le ft w rist w ith his own rig h t hand, signifying a r ­ rest. C a rm e lin a said: ‘ W here is your a u th o rity ? ” M a rg h e rita the fo rm id a b le w ife of C ra x i said: “ I believe th at this m an is s till Chief, since the M is te r M a ­ jo r is keeping m any F ascist scoun­ drels in office u ntil they prove th e m ­ selves bad. B ut I do not believe th at under A m e ric a n la w he has the rig h t to go to the head of the line. T h a t is w here I think you a re rig ht, C a rm e lin a .” G arg a n o stepped out of the line. "W ho questions m y rig h t? ” he ro ared , and he pounded one clenched fist on the other clenched fist. C a rm e lin a , w ife of the lazy F a tta , standing rig h t beside h im , startled h im by w hispering in his e a r: " I question it, T w o -H a n d s.” U p to this tim e Z ap u lla the b aker, standing in the fro n t of his shop, had been torn between the two au­ th o ritie s , the old and the new. But he was so annoyed w ith C a rm e lin a fo r h avin g prodded h im th a t he now said: ‘ ‘A rre s t her. M is te r C hief, if you h ave any co u rag e.” U p to this tim e G arg a n o the C hief, so m ew hat unsure of his ground, had been try in g to think of a w ay of re ­ tirin g g ra c e fu lly . B u t now his m a n ­ hood, as w ell as his au th ority, was challenged. H e m oved tow ard C a r­ m e lin a and said: “ W om an, you are u nd er a r re s t.” C a rm e lin a shouted: ‘ ‘K eep your tw o a c tiv e hands off m e, G a rg a n o .” Z a p u lla said: “ W ill you let this w om an shriek down yo u r courage?” G arg a n o clapped his hands on C a rm e lin a . She scream ed. A ll up and down the lin e w om en shouted: "O u t w ith the F ascist C h ief of C a ra ­ b in ie ri. O ut w ith Tw o-Hands. Out w ith m en who push them selves to the head of a line ahead of women who h ave been w aitin g three hours.” G a rg a n o dragged C a rm e lin a off sc re am in g and kicking , and the an ti- G arg a n o , an ti-F a sc is t scream s in the lin e g rew louder and louder. Even M e rc u rio Salvato re, although as c r i­ e r he was m o re or less an official and should have re m a in ed n eu tral o r even taken the side of G argano, ra is e d his huge voice in a careful shout: “ Dow n w ith in ju s tic e !” W hen G a rg a n o pulled C a rm e lin a in to M a jo r Joppolo’ s office, she was s till sc re am in g . B u t the M a jo r ju m p e d to his feet and said sh arply: “ Silence, sh re w ,” and she fe ll quiet a t once. “ W h a t is this a ll about?” the M a ­ j o r asked. G a rg a n o said: “ T his w om an ques­ tioned m y a u th o rity ,” and he p oin t­ ed a t h e r w ith both forefingers. C a rm e lin a said: “ T h e re is m o re to It than th a t.” As they passed each c a rt, Gen e ra l M a rv in w aved his rid in g crop in such a w ay as to in d icate th at the c a rt should m ove over. Since there was nothing to m ove o ver into except the ditch, w hich a t In te rva ls along the road expanded into tank traps, the carts never did m ove over. T he G e n e ra l grew an g rie r and an g rier. T h e d riv e r, a nice boy fro m M a s ­ sachusetts. put the heel of his hand on the horn button ag ain st his own w ish. H e w as in no h u rry , and knew th at no m a tte r how fast they w ent, he would only h ave to w ait when they got w h e re v e r they w ere going. T his sense was going to be the undoing of his m u le ju s t now, be­ cause G e n e ra l M a rv in 's face was beginning to grow d a rk , and some veins w hich h ave n e v e r been de­ scribed in the supplem ents began to w rig g le and pound on his forehead. “ I ’ ve had enough o f these c a rts ." the G en eral shouted. H e was stand­ ing up in the ca r, w av in g his r id ­ ing crop around. “ Do they think th e y 're going to stop the invasion w ith c a rts ? " “ G et off the ro a d .” was the m ean ing of assem bling the officials? I b elieve th a t he was for m e .” In the M a jo r's office, the officials g ra d u a lly assembled. Some w ere held-over Fascists, some w ere new appointm ents to tak e the place of Fascists who had fled to the h ills. In w hispers, and w ith am p le ges­ tures, G a rg a n o -d e s c rib e d to them the h u m ilia tio n he had suffered, un­ til M a jo r Joppolo said: “ Silence, please.” T h e officials d rew up in a circ le around the M a jo r's desk. T h e M a ­ jo r stood up. “ I w an t you to be m y frien d s,” he said. “ As m y friends. I w ill consider it m y duty to te ll you ev­ eryth in g I th in k, fo r w e do not w ant Adano to be a town o f m ysteries and a place o f suspicion. “ Adano has been a F ascist town. T h a t is n a tu ra l, because the country was F ascist, th ere fo re the town was also. B ut now th at the A m erican s have com e, we a re going to run the town as a dem ocracy. “ Perhaps you do not know w hat a dem o cracy is. I w ilf tell you. “ D e m o cracy is this: dem o cracy is th at the men of the governm ent a re no longer the m asters of the people. T h e y a re the servants of the people. W hat m akes a m an m as­ te r of another m an? I t is th at he pays him for his w ork. Who pays the m en in the governm ent? The people do, fo r they pay the taxes out of w hich you a re paid. “ T h e re fo re you a re now the serv­ ants of the people of Adano. I too am th e ir servant. W hen I go to buy b read, I shall take m y place at the end of the line, and I w ill w ait m y tu rn . You too m ust behave now as servants, not as m asters. You m ust behave as the servan t of the m an w ithout shoes ju s t as m uch as of the baron. I f I find that any of you a rc not givin g the type of service th a t I desire, I shall have to re m o ve you fro m office. " R e m e m b e r: you a re servants now. You a re servants of the peo­ ple of Adano. And w atch: this thing w ill m a k e you h ap pier than you have e v e r been in yo u r liv e s .” On the ninth m orning, G en eral M a rv in was d riv in g along the road to w ard V ic in a m a re and cam e to the town of Adano.
