As I was watching Tessio's final scene a few minutes ago, it occurred to me how really chilling and at the same time sad that moment is...seeing him confidently walk out of the house with Tom, be casually approached by Cicci, spurned by Tom and then suddenly surrounded by the other buttons and in that instant realizing what was going on and that it was all over.

So much happens in those few seconds. And unlike the death of Carlo which many of us revel in, I think watching these last moments of Tessio is a truly sad experience.

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
