Don Pedro Eibarramendia?" he again asked, with livid features and a changed appearance. "Yes," replied Ibarra, distracted. "We cut short the name, for it was too long." "He was a Basque?" said Elias approaching him. "Yes; but what's the matter?" he asked, surprised. Elias closed his fist, shook it in Ibarra's face and looked at him.
Elias did the same, if indeed with less confusion, with equal zeal. But he stopped, with eyes wide open, turned over a paper which he had in his hand and asked in a trembling voice: "Did your family know Don Pedro Eibarramendia?" "Certainly!" replied Ibarra, opening a drawer and taking out a pile of papers. "He was my great-grandfather." "Your great grandfather?
"Your great-grandfather Don Pedro Eibarramendia?" again asked Elias with changed and livid features. "Yes," replied Ibarra absently, "we shortened the surname; it was too long." "Was he a Basque?" demanded Elias, approaching him. "Yes, a Basque but what's the matter?" asked Ibarra in surprise.
Crisostomo stepped back as soon as he read the expression on that face. "Do you know who Don Pedro Eibarramendia was?" he asked between his teeth. "Don Pedro Eibarramendia was that wretch who accused my grandfather and caused all our misery.... I was looking for one of his name. God has given you into my hands.... Account to me for our misfortunes." Ibarra looked at him terrified.
Clenching his fists and pressing them to his forehead, Elias glared at Crisostomo, who recoiled when he saw the expression on the other's face. "Do you know who Don Pedro Eibarramendia was?" he asked between his teeth. "Don Pedro Eibarramendia was the villain who falsely accused my grandfather and caused all our misfortunes. I have sought for that name and God has revealed it to me!
But suddenly he paused, his eyes bulged, he turned the paper in his hand over and over, then asked in a trembling voice: "Was your family acquainted with Don Pedro Eibarramendia?" "I should say so!" answered Ibarra, as he opened a chest and took out a bundle of papers. "He was my great-grandfather."
