Word gets around to Felix
that Angelo was thinking about running away.  

He is not the least bit amused.

He can’t figure out why
Angelo would want to run away.  

Is Angelo hungry,
is he worked to death,
does he get beat on all the time—

no.  

Felix wears this narrow,
thick leather belt,
to keep his pants up.  

He corners Angelo
up in his room.  

Felix grabs Angelo by the wrist,
and lays into the kid
with his belt.

“Run away will you?”

WHACK

“Ah please dad, I’m sorry.”

WHACK WHACK

“You’re going to be a lot sorrier.”

WHACK WHACK WHACK

“Please Dad, no more.  
I’ll never do it again.  
I’ll light a candle
for you at Mass
this Sunday.”

WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK

No, I don't see Felix as the kind that would understand running away from life--but I could wish him a little more understanding for Angelo--Then again spare the rod and all that.

Thanks Dear RDB,

Perhaps he was afraid of losing Angelo.  It was also a case of Felix being very disappointed, and not understanding any of it.

Felix was very angry.

Thanks Dear Sharyn,

Felix was very angry.  He made a lasting impression on Angelo.  Angelo never tried to run away again, and did very well in life.
