Summary
The day Frank Columbo met Eugenio Franchitti was a day blessed by God: God and all the real angels and saints, specifically Adjutor, Philip Neri, and Barbara. The war was going full swing; on the beach there were the leftovers, the women and boys and girls, and the oldest Franchitti kids who hadn’t shipped overseas, Geno and Cecilia, first cousins. Frank hadn’t noticed ’em at first, either of ’em, the tall and lanky boy and girl with skin like gold and eyelashes like fringed velvet burlesque fans, physical traits the magazines said you could shell out for but the Franchitti kids had ’em in spades all natural; but once he had he couldn’t stop noticin'.

Summary
What's burned in his memory is the man scoffing at that hand because it was attached to him, the condescending pity in his eyes as he looked up at Dennis.
The slight smirk that broke its way through all the pain that the man was very clearly experiencing, looking at him like he was a precocious little child who didn't actually understand what was happening.
