But the confiding correspondent almost saw himself obliged to erase what he had written. Padre Damaso complained of a cold that he had contracted the night before, for after singing a few merry songs he had eaten three plates of ice-cream and attended the show for a short time.
Believe me, my child, time will blot it all out. Later you will forget, you will love your husband ... Linares." "Either the convent or ... death!" repeated Maria Clara. "The convent, the convent or death!" exclaimed Father Dámaso.
At this question, which was put in a very natural and almost negligent tone, Fray Damaso suddenly lost all his merriment and stopped laughing. "No!" he grunted dryly, and let himself back heavily against the back of his chair. The Dominican went on in a still more indifferent tone.
While he was alive I could debase myself, for there would have remained the consolation that he lived and perhaps thought of me, but now that he is dead the nunnery or the tomb!" The girl's voice had a ring of firmness in it such that Padre Damaso lost his merry air and became very thoughtful. "Did you love him as much as that?" he stammered. Maria Clara did not answer.
There was to be celebrated the high mass, that known as the dalmatic, like the one of the day before, about which the worthy correspondent wrote, only that now the officiating priest was to be Padre Salvi, and that the alcalde of the province, with many other Spaniards and persons of note, was to attend it in order to hear Padre Damaso, who enjoyed a great reputation in the province.
She endowed a number of religious foundations the hospitals of S. Salvator in the Lateran, of S. Maria in Porticu, the Consolazione for the Company of the Annunziata in the Minerva, and the S. Lorenzo in Damaso, as is shown by her will, which is dated January 15, 1517.
A young man who was then learning stenography and who idolizes great orators, took it down; thanks to this fact, we can here present a selection from the sacred oratory of those regions. The Sermon Fray Damaso began slowly in a low voice: "'Et spiritum bonum dedisti, qui doceret eos, et manna tuum non prohibuisti ab ore eorum, et aquam dedisti eis in siti.
But he has replied that Your Excellency always has time to dispense justice." His Excellency turned to the Alcalde as if in doubt. "If I am not mistaken," said the latter, making a slight bow, "it is a young man who this morning had a difficulty with Father Dámaso about the sermon." "Still another? Has this friar undertaken to disturb the province, or does he think that he is in command here?
Padre Damaso was, indeed, approaching with the gait of a heavy man. He was half smiling, but in such a malignant way that Ibarra, upon seeing him, lost the thread of his talk. The padre was greeted with some surprise but with signs of pleasure on the part of all except Ibarra. They were then at the dessert and the champagne was foaming in the glasses.
"Go ahead right now go on!" was the sarcastic rejoinder of Fray Damaso as he approached the officer with clenched fists. "Do you think that because I wear the cloth, I'm afraid? Go now, while I can lend you my carriage!" The dispute was taking a ludicrous turn, but fortunately the Dominican intervened.
