"Alzamentum Ibarrae ab alferesio Guardiae Civilis destructum? Et nunc? What! Does Don Crisostomo owe you anything?" "No, but you know, Tinong invited him to dinner and spoke to him on the Bridge of Spain in broad daylight! They'll say that he's a friend of his!" "A friend of his!" exclaimed the startled Latinist, rising. "Amice, amicus Plato sed magis amica veritas.
That's just what I was going to say," echoed the thin lady. "And so was I," said the other, taking the words out of her mouth, "the wife of Capitan Tinong is so stingy she hasn't yet sent us any present and that after we've been in her house. So, when such a grasping and covetous woman lets go of a little present worth a thousand pesos " "But, is it a fact?" inquired the one-armed man.
"The wife of Capitan Tinong, you remember her, the woman in whose house we danced and dined during the fiesta of Tondo " "The one who has two daughters? What about her?" "Well, that woman just this afternoon presented the Captain-General with a ring worth a thousand pesos!" The one-armed man turned around. "Is that so? Why?" he asked with shining eyes. "She said that it was a Christmas gift "
"We, too, know many oremus, parcenobis, and Agnus Dei Catolis, but now we shouldn't understand one another. Provide Tinong with an argument so that they won't hang him!" "You're done wrong, very wrong, cousin, in cultivating friendship with that young man," replied the Latinist. "The righteous suffer for the sinners. I was almost going to advise you to make your will. Vae illis!
Capitan Tinong proposed a Franciscan habit and fortunately, he had one, old, threadbare, and patched, a precious object which, according to the friar who gave it to him as alms in exchange for thirty-six pesos, would preserve the corpse from the flames of hell and which reckoned in its support various pious anecdotes taken from the books distributed by the curates.
As we have few acquaintances in Manila, let us enter the home of Capitan Tinong, the polite individual whom we saw so profusely inviting Ibarra to honor him with a visit.
Although he held this relic in great esteem, Capitan Tinong was disposed to part with it for the sake of his intimate friend, whom he had not been able to visit during his illness.
Birds of a feather flock together. Malum est negotium et est timendum rerum istarum horrendissimum resultatum! Ahem!" Capitan Tinong turned deathly pale at hearing so many words in um; such a sound presaged ill. His wife clasped her hands supplicatingly and said: "Cousin, don't talk to us in Latin now. You know that we're not philosophers like you. Let's talk in Spanish or Tagalog.
