This reminiscence of school-days provoked another merry burst of laughter. "And you know how she's fooled, the Sor Escucha!" From his hiding-place Padre Salvi saw Maria Clara, Victoria, and Sinang wading along the border of the brook.
They were conversing in a lively manner, laughing and pinching one another, whispering in one another's ears and then breaking out into loud laughter. "You'll wake up the people who are still asleep," Aunt Isabel scolded. "When we were young, we didn't make so much disturbance." "Neither would you get up so early nor would the old folks have been such sleepy-heads," retorted little Sinang.
Ah, for her generous impulses existed in the Golden Age! The house, showed neither lanterns nor banners and was gloomy precisely because the town was making merry, as Sinang said, and but for the sentinel walking before the door appeared to be uninhabited.
When he talks to me, his voice oh, he speaks of such odd, such strange, such incomprehensible things! He asked me once if I have ever dreamed of letters from my mother. I really believe that he is half-crazy. My friend Sinang and my foster-sister, Andeng, say that he is somewhat touched, because he neither eats nor bathes and lives in darkness. See to it that he does not come!"
"Cross yourselves before we start," said Aunt Isabel, as she traced the form of a cross on her breast. "And are we to be here all by ourselves," asked Sinang, on seeing how the girls had been separated from the young men, by the assignment of the seats. Then making a grimace she asked again, "Are we going to be all alone? Aray!"
"The only thing that I know about him is that he charges very dearly, according to Captain Tiago." "Then he ought to be very good," said Andeng. "The one who performed the operation on the stomach of Doña Marta charged a big price, but he was very wise." "You goose!" exclaimed Sinang. "Not all who charge high prices are wise. Look at Doctor Guevara.
One afternoon while Sinang and Victoria were visiting their friend, the curate, Capitan Tiago, and Doña Victorina's family were conversing over their lunch in the dining-room. "Well, I feel very sorry about it," said the doctor; "Padre Damaso also will regret it very much." "Where do you say they're transferring him to?" Linares asked the curate.
"I don't think so, for they say that he fought against some tulisanes one day when they were robbing a house." "He hasn't the look of a criminal," commented Sinang. "No, but he looks very sad. I didn't see him smile the whole morning," added Maria Clara thoughtfully. So the afternoon passed away and the hour for returning to the town came.
"But if I were really jealous I would know how to keep watch of a person and make myself invisible...." "And how? How would you do it? Perhaps you would do as Sister Listener does in the convent?" This reference to days passed in the convent provoked a jolly laugh all around. Father Salví saw from his hiding-place Maria Clara, Victoria, and Sinang, wading in the stream.
Come, the best thing will be to make poor-offerings to both crosses, so neither will resent it, and Maria will get better sooner. Are the rooms ready? You know that with the doctors is coming a new gentleman, a distant relative of Padre Damaso's. Nothing should be lacking." At the other end of the dining-room are the two cousins, Sinang and Victoria, who have come to keep the sick girl company.
