<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>He heardthe doors of the inner entrance: Kate and
Carlota walking acrossthe courtyard. Doña Carlota covered her face with her hand, as
if swooning. But it pleased them, anyhow, that they could make him angry. Kate sat
in absolute dismay, waiting for the other woman to recoverherself. Kate found
herself in a big, barren yard, that seemed empty.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>They had to carry all water from the lake to
theirhouses.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Oh,imagine walking in so much sun and
dust!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A mozo came with a note from Don Ramón: might he
bring his wife tocall on Kate? As if there hadnot been enough horrible, wicked power
let loose in this country. And now Juana was getting a bittired of her relative.
First and last, they want their own vanity. God is love, and if Ramón would only
submit to love, he wouldknow that he had found God.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And the man lookedup with black, bright, waiting
eyes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Men of Quetzalcoatl, said Don Ramón heavily,
with a littlesmile. Doña Carlota looked up at the other woman. Marriage itselfwould
always be a casual thing. Ah, it is terrible to have to change ones
idea!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It sounded like something coming over the
horizon.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I will send a man to come with you, said Don Ramón.
It was answered from the loft above, and a trap-dooropened. Might they sleep in the
patio with herself and the girls, wasJuanas request.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And now, my husband wants to go to the other
extreme of Jesus. </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
