It was not long before another numerous group of tourists came out of a hole in the floor, and among them was a Trappist brother who came over to where Don Calixto and Caesar were. The Trappist carried a stick, and a taper twisted in the end of the stick. He asked if everybody understood French; any one that didn't could wait for another group. "I don't understand it," said the Canon.
Cortes presented Caesar to Don Calixto Garcia Guerrero, a man of some fifty-odd, Senator and boss of the province of Zamora. Don Calixto invited Caesar and Kennedy to dine with him. The Englishman expressed regrets, and Caesar said he would go. They took leave of Cortes and Don Calixto, and went out to the Piazza di San Pietro.
When I spoke he leant back in his seatand began scanning my face with strangely fierce, eager eyes, all the time twisting his long, thin fingers together in a nervous, excited manner. "What, Calixto," he exclaimed at length, "is this the way you come into my presence? Ha, you thought I would not recognise you! Down down, boy, on your knees!"
The only thing will be that the photographer will charge you more." "I don't mind that. Could you arrange it for me?" "Yes, man." What Don Calixto desired was done. "How did the Pope impress you?" Caesar asked him as he came out "Very favourably, very favourably indeed." "He has a stupid face, hasn't he?" "No, man, not at all. He is like a nice country priest.
Those great towering thick walls, broken, brick-colour, burned by the sun, gave him an impression of the strength of the past. There were no trees, no houses near them; as if those imposing ruins precluded any life round about. Only one humble almond-tree held out its white flowers. Don Calixto and the Canon continued chatting. Don Calixto and the Canon went away to Spain.
Amparito took the glass, wet her lips in it, and looked at Alzugaray maliciously. After eating and having coffee, as the two married ladies and the girls were inert from so long a meal, they arose, and Alzugaray, the mayor's son, and Amparito's father followed them. Don Calixto, the judge, and Caesar remained at table. The priest had gone to sleep.
When the Canon had made sure of all the square metres of marble there are in Saint Peter's they went out into the square again. Caesar indicated the heap of irregular edifices that form the Vatican. "That ought to be the Pope's room," said Caesar, pointing to a window, at random. "You must have been there, Don Calixto?" "I don't know. Really," he said, "I haven't much idea where I was."
All the guests being assembled, the master of the house said that, since nobody was missing and it was time, they might pass into the gallery, where the table was set. At one end the lady of the house seated herself, having the priest on one side and the judge on the other; at the other end, Don Calixto, between the judge's wife and the mayor's daughter.
The judge, who was a friend of Don Calixto's, was transferred; so were some clerks of the court; and the Count of la Sauceda, the famous boss, was soon able to realize that his protege was firing against him. "I have nourished a serpent in my bosom," said Don Calixto; "but I know how I can grind its head."
The cause has many other brave leaders, among whom may be mentioned General Calixto Garcia, General Serafin Sanchez, Francisco Corrillo, and Jose Maria Rodriguez. They are all veterans of the war of 1868-1878, and are ready to sacrifice their lives in the struggle for liberty.
