Tomasino is angry at the fish.”
Agnello said: "We'd better not get
in too far. We were warned about
what would happen if we went out
of the zone which they marked for
us on the c h a rt”
Merendino looked at the chart
and then at the headlands up and
down the coast and he said: "P er­
haps we are a little far inshore.”
And he put the wheel over and head­

Tomasino’s boat.
Sconzo said: "Personally I like

Agnello said: "Not that either of
Tomasino’s daughters would pay
any attention to you, Sconzo.”
Sconzo said: “ Oh. L think I could
make an impression i f I wanted to.”
Agnello mimicked Sconzo: “ ’If I
wanted to.’ ” And then he said:
"What makes you think you could?
Your nose is too big.”
Sconzo said: "What makes you
think the daughters of Tomasino
are so hard to impress? What do

Merendino said: " I think that peo­

fish in their nostrils after working

The three men stood and began to
tug at the net.
"We have a good catch this time,”
Sconzo said. "Feel that load.”
They pulled some more, then Ag­
