This could not be attributed to carelessness on the part of the officials of the post-office of Orbajosa, for the functionary who had charge of that service being the friend and protege of Dona Perfecta, the latter every day recommended him to take the greatest care that the letters addressed to her nephew did not go astray.
"No, no!" objected Dona Perfecta. "What he has to say to you is an absurdity." "Let him say it." "I ought not to allow such ridiculous questions to be discussed in my house." "What is Senor Ramos' business with me?" Caballuco uttered a few words. "Enough, enough!" exclaimed Dona Perfecta. "Don't trouble my nephew any more. Pepe, don't mind this simpleton.
"It is only this," continued Dona Perfecta, "that when you visit our beautiful cathedral again, you will endeavor to behave with a little more decorum while you are in it." "Why, what have I done?" "It does not surprise me that you are not yourself aware of your fault," said his aunt, with apparent good humor.
Dona Perfecta left her writing from time to time, to go into the adjoining room where her daughter was. Rosarito had been ordered to sleep, but, already precipitated down the precipice of disobedience, she was awake. "Why don't you sleep?" her mother asked her. "I don't intend to go to bed to-night.

"Very well said," said Dona Perfecta. "I don't approve of ecclesiastics taking any part in such matters. That is the way an enlightened priest ought to act. Of course we know that on serious and solemn occasions, as when our country and our faith are in danger, for instance, it is within the province of an ecclesiastic to incite men to the conflict and even to take a part in it.
But these youths of the present day have audacity enough for any thing. Oh, what boys! Well, let us go home. Good-night, Senora Dona Perfecta good-night, Senor Don Jose Rosarito." "I will wait for Senor Don Cayetano," said Jacinto, "to ask him to give me the Augusto Nicolas." "Always carrying books. Why, sometimes you come into the house laden like a donkey. Very well, then, let us wait."
Dona Perfecta then took up the theme and said playfully: "Take care, Pepito; I warn you that if you speak ill of our holy church we shall cease to be friends.
Fixing on her cousin a look of friendly and gentle reproof, she said: "What ideas you have!" The voice of Dona Perfecta was heard crying in an altered accent: "Rosario! Rosario!" The latter ran toward the house.
