Corleone: A Tale of Sicily, Vol. 2 of 2 (Classic Reprint)

ViTTOR iA dO riani had very few companions. Corona Saracinesca really liked her, for her own sake, and was sorry for her becanse she belonged to the family which was so often described as the worst blood in I taly. Corona andS anG iacinto swife had together presented the Corleone tribe in Roman society, but they were both women of middle age, without daughters who might have been friends for Vittoria. On the other hand, though theE omans had accepted the family on the endorsement, as it were, of the wholeS aracinesca family, there was a certain general disinclination to become intimate with them, due to the posthumous influence of their dead uncle, Corleone of evil fame. The Campodonico people were unwilling to have anything to do with them, even to the gentle and charitable Donna Francesca, who had been aB raccio, and might therefore, perhaps, have been expected to condone a great many shortcomings in other families.
