never be able to marry Katherine."
4 Nazorine's wife, Filomena, spoke to the point (высказалась по сути,
без дураков). "Stop all this foolishness (прекрати все эти глупости)," she
said to her pudgy husband. "You know what you must do. Keep Enzo here, send
him to hide (прятаться, скрываться) with our cousins in Long Island."
Katherine was weeping. She was already plump (полной), homely (домашней,
обычной = невзрачной) and sprouting a faint moustache (с пробивающимися
легкими усиками; to sprout - давать ростки; faint - слабый, тусклый,
нечеткий; moustache [m?'st?:?]). She would never get a husband as handsome
as Enzo, never find another man who touched her body in secret places with
such respectful love. "I'll go and live in Italy," she screamed at her
father. "I'll run away if you don't keep Enzo here."
5 Nazorine glanced at her shrewdly (взглянул на нее пронзительно,
видящим насквозь взглядом; shrewd - пронизывающий; проницательный). She was
a "hot number" (горячая штучка) this daughter of his. He had seen her brush
her swelling buttocks (как она терлась своими пухлыми, набухающими
ягодицами) against Enzo's front (о "перёд" Энцо) when the baker's helper
squeezed (протиснулся) behind her to fill the counter baskets (чтобы
наполнить корзины для расфасовки) with hot loaves from the oven (из печи
[(vn]). The young rascal's hot loaf would be in her oven (горячий хлебец
этого негодяя окажется в ее печке), Nazorine thought lewdly (развязно,
цинично; lewd - похотливый, непристойный; распутный), if proper steps were
not taken (если не будут предприняты надлежащие шаги). Enzo must be kept in
America and be made an American citizen (и сделан американским гражданином
['s?t?zn]). And there was only one man who could arrange such an affair
(уладить такое дело [?'re?ndG]). The Godfather. Don Corleone.

1 The baker, Nazorine, pudgy and crusty as his great Italian loaves,
still dusty with flour, scowled at his wife, his nubile daughter,
Katherine, and his baker's helper, Enzo. Enzo had changed into his
prisoner-of-war uniform with its green-lettered armband and was terrified
that this scene would make him late reporting back to Governor's Island.
One of the many thousands of Italian Army prisoners paroled daily to work
in the American economy, he lived in constant fear of that parole being
revoked. And so the little comedy being played now was, for him, a serious
business.
2 Nazorine asked fiercely, "Have you dishonored my family? Have you
given my daughter a little package to remember you by now that the war is
over and you know America will kick your ass back to your village full of
shit in Sicily?"
3 Enzo, a very short, strongly built boy, put his hand over his heart
and said almost in tears, yet cleverly, "Padrone, I swear by the Holy
Virgin I have never taken advantage of your kindness. I love your daughter
with all respect. I ask for her hand with all respect. I know I have no
right, but if they send me back to Italy I can never come back to America.
I will never be able to marry Katherine."

foolishness," she said to her pudgy husband. "You know what you must do.
