Ibarra looked inquiringly at the pilot. "The daughter of Captain Tiago is ill," added Elias quietly, "but the illness is not serious." "I had already feared it," responded Ibarra. "Do you know what the illness is?" "A fever. Now, if you have nothing to order " "Thanks, my friend. I wish you a good journey, but before you go, permit me to ask you a question. If it is indiscreet, do not answer me."
Let there be just one, one who, according to Padre Irene, was the servant of Capitan Tiago there'll be no one to enter a complaint " "Servant and student?" asked his Excellency. "That fellow, then! Let it be he!" "Your Excellency will pardon me," observed the high official, who happened to be present, "but I've been told that this boy is a medical student and his teachers speak well of him.
More shooting and more noise was heard in the direction of the convent, followed by cries and the sound of people running. Captain Tiago, Aunt Isabel and Linares entered the room, hurriedly crying "tulisan! tulisan!" Andeng followed them, brandishing a spit and ran toward her foster sister. Aunt Isabel fell on her knees and prayed the Kyrie eleison.
Knock off all his gyves; And he that has a stomacke for Spaines honour To combate with this Englishman, appeare. Pike. Come he in face of man, come how he can. Mac. Your name? Tia. Tiago. All. Well done Tiago. Mac. Let drums beate all the time they fight. Lady. I pray for thee. Gent. And I. Pike. Onely a Devonshire hugg, sir: at your feete I lay my winnings. Tia. Diable! Gyr.
Capitan Tiago hoped that the old woman would breathe her last almost any day, or that she would lose five or six of her lawsuits, so that he might be alone in serving God; but unfortunately the best lawyers of the Real Audiencia looked after her interests, and as to her health, there was no part of her that could be attacked by sickness; she seemed to be a steel wire, no doubt for the edification of souls, and she hung on in this vale of tears with the tenacity of a boil on the skin.
Capitan Tiago himself, in the midst of his preparations for receiving the Captain-General properly, had been summoned to the convento. "Don't cry, daughter," said Aunt Isabel, as she polished the bright plates of the mirrors with a piece of chamois. "They'll withdraw the excommunication, they'll write now to the Pope, and we'll make a big poor-offering. Padre Damaso only fainted, he's not dead."
Appointed by the powerful mandate of the Vice-Rector, without other merit than unconditional servility to the corporation, he passed for a spy and an informer in the eyes of the rest of the faculty. The first professor returned his greeting coldly, and winked to Basilio, as he said to him, "Now I know that Capitan Tiago smells like a corpse the crows and vultures have been gathering around him."
Maria Clara, pale as wax, raising herself half up, looked at her father with frightened eyes, and then at Doña Victorina and Linares. The latter turned red in the face, Captain Tiago looked down, and the señora added: "Clarita, bear it in mind, and never marry a man who does not wear trousers. You expose yourself to insults like a dog, if you do."
"To the province of Tayabas," replied the curate negligently. "One who will be greatly affected by it is Maria Clara, when she learns of it," said Capitan Tiago. "She loves him like a father." Fray Salvi looked at him askance. "I believe, Padre," continued Capitan Tiago, "that all her illness is the result of the trouble on the last day of the fiesta."
San Diego was his favorite town on account of its excellent bathing place, its famous cockpit and the pleasant memories associated with the neighborhood. He spent at least two months in this town every year. Captain Tiago also had a great deal of property in Santo Cristo, in Analoague Street and in Rosario Street. In partnership with a Chinaman he carried on a profitable business in opium.
