Having finished dressing, I unlocked the door of the stuffy little cabin and called the old rag-picker. He came shuffling along with his head bent, but raising his eyes as he approached me, he threw up his hands in astonishment, exclaiming, "Santissima Madonna! But you are a fine man a fine man! Eh, eh! Holy Joseph! What height and breadth!
Let any one pay a visit to my church, and look at her as she stands there, tan bonita, tan guapita so well dressed and so genteel with such pretty colours, such red and white, and he would scarcely ask me why Maria Santissima should not be adored. Moreover, Don Jorgito mio, this is a church matter and forms an important part of the church system." "And now, with respect to carnal misdemeanours.
