Quandary Resolution 1275
bagman, abjectly, foppery, shivaree
Tony looked abjectly at himself in the mirror while his sister Angela (who was the one mostly responsible for this godawful foppery, this frilly, buckled, spangled crappola) smiled like a shark at the thought of how out of place her brother was going to look at the Bonnano girl’s wedding reception - more like a shivaree or a callithump! - and of how his pathetic plans to move up from being Zu Bonnano’s bagman to maybe at least a capo in the Zips were definitely not going to work out if she could help it.
