"Yes, dear man; it is only at such long intervals that I see a person with ingenuousness and enthusiasm, that when I do meet one, I get a real joy from it." "You are a sentimentalist." "That's true; and you have become an inquisitor." "Most certainly. I believe we agree on that and on all the rest." "I think so. All right. Good-bye!" said Alzugaray, ill-humouredly. "Salutations!" replied Caesar.
Caesar had a seat assigned between Don Calixto's elder daughter and Amparito, and Alzugaray one between the second daughter and the judge's girl. A few moments before they sat down, Amparito went running out of the gallery into the garden. "Where has that child gone?" asked Don Calixto's wife. "Something or other has occurred to her," said Amparito's father, laughing.
Caesar called a servant and bade him: "Telephone to my friend Alzugaray. You know his number. Tell him to be here inside an hour." "Very good, sir." This arranged, Caesar went to the main door and saw that the Minister's motor was headed for down town. Immediately he took a carriage and went to the Chamber.
The judge, from the first moment, treated Caesar like a man of importance, and began to call him Don Caesar every moment, and to find everything he said, good. In the ladies' group there was an old priest, a tall, big, deaf man, a great friend of the family, named Don Ramon. The judge's wife told Alzugaray that this Don Ramon was a simpleton.
Susanna burst into laughter, and when she said good-night to Caesar she squeezed his hand energetically. "Susanna Marchmont," Caesar wrote to his friend Alzugaray, "is a beautiful woman, rich, and apparently intelligent. She has given me to understand that she feels a certain inclination for me, and if I please her well enough, she will get a divorce and marry me.
"In that I think you are fundamentally unjust," said Alzugaray. "Amparito is not a small town lass, for she lives in Madrid almost all year. Besides, that makes no difference; what I have not observed is her committing any folly or impertinence." "Dear man, it all depends on how you look at it. To me her conduct seemed bad, to you it seems all right."
After explaining his program, Caesar called on all progressive men who had liberal ideas and loved their city, to collaborate in his work. When he ended his speech, all the audience applauded violently. Alzugaray was able to verify the fact that the majority of them had not understood what Caesar was saying. "They didn't understand anything.
Caesar's observations were discussed by the men, and the judge and Don Calixto agreed that Caesar was a man of real talent, who would play a great role in Congress. "Please give me a little wine," said Amparito, holding her glass to Alzugaray; "your friend pays no attention to me; I have asked him for some wine twice, and nothing doing." Caesar acted as if he hadn't heard and kept on talking.
But I had scientific data for not believing in that rise." "I am ruined," exclaimed the broker. "I have lost my savings." Don Calixto and Amparito's father had also lost very large sums, which Caesar won, and they were disconsolate. When they were gone and only Alzugaray remained, he said to Caesar: "And you have played in Paris, too, probably." "Yes." "On a fall?" "Certainly."
The doctor looked at him over his glasses with fury, and began to walk up and down in the bookstore. Alzugaray went to the hotel, arranging in his memory the data collected. Caesar was feeling well, and the two of them talked of the bookseller and his friends and of Father Martin Lafuerza. "I am going to jot down all these points," said Caesar.
