padrone

1 "Do you remember when you came for the festa of Saint John, and were left without a padrone?"

2 The Society had hardly been in existence four years when it came into collision with the padrone and his abominable system of child slavery.

3 As the American girl passed the office, the padrone bowed from his desk.

美国姑娘穿过办公室时，旅馆老板在办公桌后面向她鞠躬。

4 “You will see many suns rise through these bars if the padrone so pleases,” murmured Isidro gently.

5 Se�or, allow me to thank you for not complaining of me this morning to the padrone.

6 Johnny thought the demand went far toward destroying the value of the padrone’s kindness: but the rest of us differed.

7 Instead, much of this awkward English-language period piece focuses on peasants’ struggle to overthrow padrone control just after the First World War.

8 Olive saw the padrone of the Aquila Verde that night before she went to her room and told him she was leaving.

9 In this statue of Mars is seen the last rendering of the old Florentine tradition of their primo padrone.

10 All the money they made the padrone took from them, beating and starving them if they did not bring home enough.

11 The excitement attending the trial and the vigor with which the society had pushed its pursuit of the rascally padrone drew increased attention to its work.

12 The old padrone had the impudence to half propose my going to Italy as tutor to his young cub, but I answered him very brusquely.

13 One afternoon when we came in from driving everybody in the street was looking hard at the mountain and the padrone informed us that the eruption had begun.

14 The padrone led us through town to the outskirts.

15 We pushed out into the current, and drifted slowly down under the bridges, without oars the padrone quietly smoking his pipe at the helm.

16 "The padrone is a Sicilian," said the maialino, stuffing a huge block of bread into his mouth, and rolling his insouciant eyes of a gay, well-fed little black pig towards the background.

17 The padrone was at first a little inclined to delay; but he quickly recognized that our mood was bad, so shortly we were under way.

18 "A repetition of the storm need not be feared, and as the padrone has promised to procure us a carriage, we can reach S---- this evening if we start soon."

19 At the present moment Josephine seems conversing with "all manner of men"—the Marquise Villa Marina from the Queen's Palace, the padrone of the hotel where Mustel is staying, and one or two others.

20 Like a proud padrone, Mr Renzi may demand respect for Italy’s position.
