And Ramuntcho unfastens the thongs of his glove in the middle of a crowd of expansive admirers; from all sides, brave and rude hands are stretched to grasp his or to strike his shoulder amicably. "Have you asked Gracieuse to dance with you this evening?" asks Arrochkoa, who in this instant would do anything for him. "Yes, when she came out of the high mass I spoke to her She has promised." "Good!
"Then you knew that he came here to see your daughter?" In truth, Dolores knew this since the morning: Gracieuse had told her, since no care needed to be taken of the morrow; Gracieuse had told it wearily, after talking uselessly of Uncle Ignacio, of Ramuntcho's future, of all that would serve their cause "Then you knew that he came here to see your daughter?"
"Sure?" asked Ramuntcho again, whom these eyes make anxious. "Yes, sure!" So, he is quieted again this time, knowing that if Gracieuse has said and decided something one may count on it. And at once the weather seems to him more beautiful, the Sunday more amusing, life more charming

The changeable month of March had arrived, and with it the intoxication of spring, joyful for the young, sad for those who are declining. And Gracieuse had commenced again to sit, in the twilight of the lengthened days, on the stone bench in front of her door.
It went very quickly now, with the drying fevers that made her cheeks red, her nostrils pinched, or with the exhaustion of baths of perspiration, her pulse hardly beating. And Ramuntcho had no other thought than his mother; the image of Gracieuse ceased to visit him during these funereal days.
