Amparito held by a fetichistic Catholicism, conditioned by her situation in life, and mixed with a lot of heterodox and contradictory ideas, but she didn't give any thought to that. The marriage was very successful; they never had disputes or discussions. When both were stubborn, they never noticed which one yielded.
The other letter was from Amparito. Don Calixto's niece told him he mustn't believe that she hated him; if she had said anything to him, it was without bad intention; she would be very happy if all his projects were realized.
One person who clung to her, enchanted to have such a friend, was Amparito. She went to the palace in her motor at all hours, to see Laura and chat with her. In the afternoon the two of them used to walk in Amparito's father's property, where the labourers, who were threshing, received them like queens.
They heard the footsteps of the old woman, coming back to say that she had found nothing in the room Laura had occupied during her stay. Amparito dried her tears, and smiled, and her face was redder than usual. Presently she said to the nurse: "Probably you didn't look well. I am going to go myself." Amparito went out.
It is indubitable that we have not the same leading ideas, or the same points of view. Probably we have not a similar moral sense either. Neither is woman made for man, nor man for woman. There is necessity between them, not harmony." Many times, watching Amparito, he told himself: "There is some sort of machinery in her head that I do not understand."
If I am in your family's way, or even in your way, I can go away from here, and all is ended." "No, do not go away," murmured Amparito, raising her handkerchief to her eyes and beginning to weep bitterly. Caesar felt deeply grieved; all his anger disappeared, and he stood there, amazed, and not knowing what to do. "Do not cry," exclaimed Caesar; "what will they think of me? Come, don't cry.
If he had not had so much to think about as he did have, he would have found this a good chance to show his aggressive humour; but all his attention was fixed on Amparito. The newly married pair spent the first days of their honeymoon at Castro; then they went to Madrid, with the intention of going abroad, and afterwards they went back to the town.
"I walk among brambles and leave a piece of my clothing on every one of them," thought Caesar, "and she passes artlessly between all obstacles, with the ease of an ethereal thing. It's extraordinary!" It pleased Amparito to be thus observed. Her husband used to tell her: "You have, as it were, ten or twelve Amparitos inside of you; it often seems to me that you are a whole round of Amparitos."
The moment for saying good-bye to Amparito and her father, it seemed to him, would be a difficult moment. Nevertheless, everything went off smoothly. The father offered his hand, without grudge. Amparito blushed a little and said: "We shall see each other again, Moncada?" "Yes, I'm sure of it," replied Caesar; and the two friends and Don Calixto took the carriage for the station.
Don Platon Peribanez's reply was delayed longer than he had promised. No one knew whether the Duke of Castro Duro would get married or not get married, whether he would come out of prison or stay in. Caesar had nothing for it but to wait, although he was already fed up with his stay. Alzugaray had a good time; he visited the surrounding towns in the company of Amparito and her father.
