Chapter 12

Posted by Develos

Placido Penitente walks glumly to school.  He meets Juanito Pelaez along the way, and talks with him for a while.  Juanito is the favorite of practically all the teachers, and his father is a Spanish mestizo. Placido talks to the young man about his brief vacation to Tiani with Padre Camorra, and then asks Juanito to help him catch up with the lessons he missed the days before.
