"We do not believe you capable of such cowardice and such infamy, and since we do not believe you capable of it, we beg you to come to Castro Duro as soon as possible to direct the approaching municipal elections. Dr. Ortigosa, Antonio San Roman, Jose Camacho." On reading this letter Caesar felt as if he had been struck with a whip. Those men were correct; he had no right to retire from the fight.
From Madrid Caesar continued sending maps for the school, engravings, bas-reliefs, a moving-picture machine. Dr. Ortigosa and his friends went every day to look over the work. A year from the beginning of work, the boys and girls' school was opened. Dr. Ortigosa succeeded in arranging that two of the three male teachers they procured were Free-Thinkers.
As, in spite of the clerical element's advice, people kept on reading, there were various persons that took out books and filled them with obscene drawings and tore out illustrations. Dr. Ortigosa sent Caesar a letter informing him what was happening, and Caesar answered that he must limit the distribution of books to the members of the Workmen's Club and people that were known.
When he had finished receiving recommendations and congratulations, he would go to an inside room, and there, in the company of a candidate or a secretary, would read letters and arrange what they had to do. The most active of the candidates was Dr. Ortigosa. Ortigosa was a narrow-minded, tenacious man.
The school was not lighted, and Caesar sent a man to the Capital for acetylene lamps, which were put up on the walls, and which made a detestable smell. The reunion took place at nine at night. Caesar presided, and had San Roman, the bookseller, on his right, and Dr. Ortigosa on his left. Behind them on a bench were some of the members of the Workmen's Club.
Are you going to institute a society without inequality or injustice, as Dr. Ortigosa said in La Libertad the other day? To me it seems very difficult." "To me too. But that is what there is to try for." "And when will you attain so perfect an arrangement, so great a harmony, as the Catholic, created in twenty centuries? When?" "We shall attain a different, better harmony." "Oh, I doubt it."
The bookseller and Alzugaray chatted about many other things, and after some while the bookseller said: "Here is Dr. Ortigosa. He is coming in." The door opened and a slim individual appeared, worn and sickly, with a black beard and spectacles. His necktie was crooked, his suit dirty, and he had his hat in his hand.
The clerical element immediately protested; the priests said in the pulpit that to send any chance book to working people's houses without examining it first, was to lead people into error. Dr. Ortigosa retorted that Science did not need the approval of sacristans.
Ortigosa, by San Roman, Camacho, the apothecary, and the leading members of the Workmen's Club. The letter was in the doctor's handwriting. It read thus: "Dear Sir: We have read in the newspaper from the Capital the announcement that you are thinking of retiring from politics. We believe this announcement is not true.
Ortigosa was in favour of getting another bully, who could undertake the job of cutting out "Driveller's" guts. "Whom are we to get?" asked Caesar. "We know somebody," said Ortigosa. "Who is it?" " El Montes." "What kind of a party is he?" "A bandit like the other, but braver." "El Montes" had just come out of Ocana.
