From the day I came to serve the lawyer I decided to live in isolation, away from the gossip villaverdinos that were beginning to get upset, so the hours of rest I locked myself at home, read or talk to Jada, and only on Sundays I missed the afternoon wandering through the alleys, or I would spend two or three hours on the banks of Stony or on the green slopes of brushes, which returned laden with ferns and flowers farmers.

Jada was kind and loving me, but soon I saw who did not like being alone with me before, however, fled from me as if afraid of danger. No doubt prudent advice obeyed his confessor a distinguished P. Solis. One detachment of the beautiful girl poked in my soul, in a terrible way, the passion that the beauty and qualities of the young woman had lit in me, and my Aunt Pepa sought to promote.

When in the morning, coming out of my room, I was looking at the kind maiden, and expected to find in the dining room I Juana I was very engestada, and pout.

– What are you doing here?

– I’m sweeping! This is not my obligation, but as the girl did not want to do this task, here I am ….

At night, around the table, while my Aunt Pepa and Jada were those beautiful flowers that have left lasting fame in Villaverde, I installed myself, sad and disappointed, in a chair near them, and without a word engulfed me reading a book enjoyable. The patient was already in bed, and the old and the young working until midnight.
