Padre Irene, Padre Fernandez, the Countess, a merchant who expected to sell the materials for the new academy, and the high official who had been citing royal decree after royal decree, were about to triumph, when Padre Sibyla, wishing to gain time, had thought of the Commission.
"Father Dámaso is not among us, señor," replied Father Sibyla, rather dryly. "Your Excellency's servant lies ill in bed," added Father Salví meekly.
"For you, Fray Damaso." "For you, Fray Sibyla." "An older friend of the family confessor of the deceased lady age, dignity, and authority " "Not so very old, either! On the other hand, you are the curate of the district," replied Fray Damaso sourly, without taking his hand from the back of the chair. "Since you command it, I obey," concluded Fray Sibyla, disposing himself to take the seat.
"I don't command it!" protested the Franciscan. "I don't command it!" Fray Sibyla was about to seat himself without paying any more attention to these protests when his eyes happened to encounter those of the lieutenant.
Is there anything else?" The secretary looked uneasily toward Padre Sibyla and Padre Irene. The cat was about to come out of the bag. Both prepared themselves. "The petition of the students requesting authorization to open an academy of Castilian," answered the secretary. A general movement was noted among those in the room.
Over yonder is where they lost track of him, and a little farther on near the shore they discovered something like the color of blood. And now I think of it, it's just thirteen years, day for day, since this happened." "So that his corpse " began Ben-Zayb. "Went to join his father's," replied Padre Sibyla. "Wasn't he also another filibuster, Padre Salvi?"
"Which of your Reverences is Padre Damaso?" asked the Captain-General without any preliminary greeting, neither asking them to be seated nor inquiring about their health nor addressing them with the flattering speeches to which such important personages are accustomed. "Padre Damaso is not here among us, sir," replied Fray Sibyla in the same dry tone as that used by his Excellency.
They mustn't try to interpret the meaning of the laws and the books, they're so tricky and pettifogish! Just as soon as they learn Castilian they become enemies of God and of Spain. Just read the Tandang Basio Macunat that's a book! It tells truths like this!" And he held up his clenched fists. Padre Sibyla rubbed his hand over his tonsure in sign of impatience.
