The lad

Paolo asked Tony to clear it with Livia, as he said she might be rather cool towards him for some reason best known to herself.

“I think she might see me as a mere lad,” he told Tony, indignantly. “I think she might prefer to go with you.”

“Well that ain’t gonna happen. She’ll get who I say or she can find her own fucking way there!” Tony insisted. “Leave it to me.”

Tony called Livia and told her the score. Paolo would drive her... in Terry’s car.

“Well make sure your lad gets me there on time!” she concluded.
