Oli, I don't think it was chitchat. As I envisioned it in my long-ago post, "Turnbull's a good man" was intended to signal Geary that he'd played by Geary's rules: Bribing Geary for the license by paying a "legal retainer" to Turnbull, Geary's bag-man.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
